Postal 1 is a weird game. Postal 2 and Postal 4 get all the limelight, but how does Postal (1997) hold up? Let's talk about Postal and Postal Redux in this Postal 1 game review. #Postal #Postal2 #Postal4

In Postal Redux, you can also play as the Antagonist from Hatred. Press 'T' during gameplay, and type 'mynameisnotimportant'. You can then select him. Also, there is a special filter that you can apply to make it look like Hatred, aptly named 'Like that other game' (or something along those lines). Pretty cool!

Here's the thing, the entire Postal series is supposed to be a parody and satire based on what Lieberman and "conservatives" believed what video games were at the time. So they went al out on the violence. Granted... the original Postal was released about 18 months before Columbine happened :'( But because of the entire attack video games had after that happened is why Postal 2 was created to be a satire on what people believed video games were at the time

Depending on how you play Redux, the ending will slightly vary. If you avoid civilian kills, the graveyard in the epilogue looks decayed, but if you play as a exterminator of all life, the graveyard will be a lot more hellish, whereby the ground will rip open and be engulfed in flames.

Hatred is edgy. Postal is dark and disturbing showing the world through the eyes of a broken man whose fears of the decaying rotting world around have lead him to do the unthinkable. The school shooting represents him coming to his senses unable to bare with the atrociosities he’s committed and the ones he wishes too. There are two sets of voice lines one representing the original person still inside and the other representing the demon whose taken over. The ending dialogue is from the mans other half mocking the doctors and psychiatrists.

im just going to copy and paste from a guy named KisaragiNora from gamefaqs and this is what he had to say... KisaragiNora 8 years ago This is the type of review you won't find in the media. A fair one There will be unmarked spoilers in this thread, as per the title: _ _ _ Let's first discuss the premise of the game: You are a serial killer hellbent on the destruction of humanity. Okay, so it's exactly like that Destroy All Humans! game, which NOBODY gave a f*** about. The only difference is you're not an alien, and there's no reason for you to be doing this (in destroy all humans, you killed humanity so aliens can survive, in Hatred you're killing just because you want humanity gone) So this is the part where almost everyone in the press stopped analyzing the gameplay. They refused to accept the reality that you're a serial killer in every game you play these days, (Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series for example, is a serial killer but people don't care because he has a "justification" for murdering) The Destiny series has you killing things left and right, shooting them until they're dead. People don't care, because there's a "justification". It's OK to commit genocide if you can reason with it?. People need to accept that they are playing a videogame. So with that said, Hatred's gameplay is FUN. It's a top-down shooter where you can hijack cars just like grand theft auto, crash it into houses, and it's difficult. It's a survival game with objectives and a story, which is pretty neat. Most survival games just stop at the, well, survival part. And like all videogames with a story, Hatred's story has an ending: - Now, let's discuss the ending: ENDING: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5-daqh8p9XKZps.html - What opened my eyes here is for a second, the guy being stabbed by a knife had a mindset that he would help this guy kill himself and thousands of others. For just a moment, he wanted the pain to stop and was actually considering setting off a nuke. What I realized is that the protagonist (or in this case, the antagonist) had the SAME mindset. The only difference is, the antagonist was TRAPPED in this mindset and unable to escape. The "common sense" factor never kicked in here. This makes me realize that we're all human. If we don't use common sense we're nothing but killing machines. It's why we have subconcious. It's why we enjoy playing games where you do nothing but murder thousands of people.. The ending above all else, justified the murders committed in the game, because it was opening the player's eyes that there is no justification for murder. It's only a fuel for your hatred. When was the last time you played a game you played where the ending is "If you kill the villain, you're just as bad as him"? People fail to realize that switch happened a long time ago. - Good game, good gameplay, good moral. We barely see videogames that touch these topics. Props to the devs for sticking to their guns and making a fun game out of it, too. Is it the best game you'll ever play? No. Is it a breath of fresh air in the current gaming media of mediocity? f*** yes. 7/10

When I was in High School I was dually enrolled in a tech school doing Cisco networking and in the spring we would hold events demonstrating our program to area high school kids interested in enrolling the next year. Being computer networking we decided to hold a LAN party and I reached out to a ton of developers and vendors for sponsorship for decorations, swag, and prizes. A lot never responded, some sent stickers. Running With Scissors...sent I forgot how many copies of Postal II, posters of a chick in a thong standing on a burned up car holding an automatic gun, and all kinds of other goodies. Of course we couldn't give any of that away to the kiddies but we dispersed it amongst each other and all these years later I still love telling that story. Very kind.

Hatred tried to stir up the same controversy Postal did in its day but the discourse moved on from it after only a month. I don't think it's that everything has gotten PG, I think most people just realized that making a controversy out of something created to stir up controversy is a waste of time and moved on to better things. Video games are also no longer viewed by the general public as toys for children, which is why modern violent games don't gather so much negative attention. Basically the world became a slightly better place since then.

On one hand its edgy because of the sake of satire and edge, on the other hand its VERY well crafted and has a rather extensive narrative outside of the game (if you read the manual) and it was more of a psychological thriller. The dude was flatout insane and was a paranoid schizophrenic who snapped after seeing some conspiracy theory about the military tampering with the water supply turning people into sleeper cells. So in his mind its "kill or be killed" but what we see is him making edgy quotes as a demon (because thats what RWS intended originally for the media to see as part of the satire of games being demonic and violent). Its like if Dungeons and Dragons made a module in the 80s dedicated to worshiping satan and murdering random people for laughs. It's edgy but it made sense to show how ridiculous someone is by being that ridiculous and making them realize you were quite tame to begin with lol.

to be fair, the music not being there is more of the point than an obstacle. the man you are playing as is not a good man, nor is he doing any good thing in the game. He's not meant to have any cool background music, or badass entrances or anything like that. this is a mentally ill man slaughtering civilians. Hell the only good thing he does is NOT kill children, and that isn't even good, thats expected of a normal human being, you ARE the bad guy

Definitely. The lack of music was a huge benefit to the atmosphere. Having the only sounds you hear being gunshots and your victims screaming really forces you to take in the gravity of what you are doing. Also, the character you control may not hurt children, but it isn't even a case of him choosing not crossing the line that every normal person has. He *tries* to hurt them, but is unable. So even that one instance of humanity can't be considered a decent action by him.
