POSTAL 2 REDDIT CODE

I think Cheat Code Central gave the fairest summation of the title in their 50/100 review 'You'll play Postal 2 for the novelty, but it's junk food gaming at best. Either way - both the 'level of freedom' coupled with the shock value on top of it would've ensured that it'd sell copies, and receive praise from a younger audience. But the fact that using a cat as a silencer for a fully automatic is up there with one of the more 'tame' examples tells you pretty much all you need to know in that regard.

Outside of the humour, the sense of 'freedom' was exceptionally high for a game of that era - I wont list all the examples, as eh, I'm sure you know of them yourself. But I also thought 'Dude, where's my Car' was hilarious back then, so take my sense of humour at that age with a massive grain of salt. I played it back at release, and personally thought it was hilarious.

Now, don't get me wrong - this isn't me either defending, or berating PC Culture or the likes - but to release a title like that almost 15 years ago now would come with a lot of shock factor, and it'd be particularly appealing to people in their teens. However, the main crux of Postal 2 wasn't in the game itself - which was underwhelming - but moreso in the fact that it was probably one of the first games to actively take a stab at PC Culture, before PC Culture was even a thing. That's a little lower than I'd personally give it - I think it's in around the 60 range personally, particularly for a game that came out in 2003. On Metacritic, Postal 2 has a 50/100 average.

1,000 people spamming 1/10 because a game has DRM in it is the most common use I see for them nowadays. That's really a whole new topic in itself though - but generally speaking, user reviews are never anything I'd rely on. So, you're mostly looking at user reviews - which are very rarely a good indicator as to how good, or bad a game is. If you play it 'cause you want to act out juvenile fantasies, okay that's pretty fucked up and weird. If you play Postal 2 'cause you just read Dune then watched Schindler's List and you don't want to reflect on the human condition anymore, that's the right reason to play it. It's totally okay to consume lowbrow media if you go into it expecting that, and know what you're getting out of it. Some people go twice a decade when they're dragged out to some event that has a strip club as a stop, they'll go along for the ride, turn their brain into 'dunce mode' for a couple hours, and have a lark. Like, some dudes go to a strip club 'cause it's their opportunity to get attention from women, and they might be there regularly. So what's the point? It's not clever, it's not witty, it just throws shit at the wall. The gameplay isn't anything new, and it was like four years behind when it came out.

Postal 2 has a dirty mind, it has a black heart, it's absurd, but you never ask 'How did this come together like this?', there is no empathy.

Shows that when they end, you're like 'What the fuck just happened? How did this series of events come together like this'? There were things that happened prior to give the absurdity context, and juxtapose that with the shows reality. What about things that just nail absurdity? It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or Aqua Teen Hunger Force. You know how some things have a dirty mind, but a heart of gold? The Clerks films nail this emotionally, Hot Fuzz nails this with physical and emotional humor, but both Hot Fuzz and Clerks set a pretense for the empathy, this is what makes them have a heart.
