    Postal III

    Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Dec 20, 2011

    Play as Postal Dude Jr. for the second time, and continue to cause general mayhem in a new setting, the town of Catharsis, Arizona.

    I highly doubt this game is coming out, at least not on consoles

    After what manhunt II went through, I highly doubt that postal, who's developer could not tell you the time of day, will be able to make the jump successfully.

    Postal 2 still has a fanbase, I reckon it will.

    I met Vince and Mike in Leipzig last year, and at least at the time there did not seem to be any bad news.

    But the whole issue with 18+ games on consoles is true, which is sort of pathetic while all modern consoles support parental controls.  Microsoft in particular make a very big thing about the quality of their age limiting system, in reality that should allow us to have any kind of game on the market.

    I am a bit skeptical about whether Postal III will hit consoles as well. They haven't put the previous games on consoles and this game seems to be even worse as far as the subject matter. The console is also a different market than PC and I don't really know how a game like this would sell. If the game does hit consoles then the media may actually be able to produce real/true negative facts about a game! :P

    Here in Sweden no one took any notice of Postal II when it came out. It was a bad game even if one choose not to look at its childish “killing” content. It had as far as I know hardly any distributors and didn't managed to get out on the market. No one was interested.

    Then one of our TV channels showed a documentary on how very, very bad computer games is for children (it seems to media that no humans above age of 25 plays any games). The documentary showed several “gory” clips from Postal II to show what the kids today are playing. Parents and media got hysterical and as a result kids got very interested in this “hyped” game all talked about. The game suddenly sold a lot.

    This is one of the most violent and offensive games I've ever played (I own the first two games).

    I truly hope it comes to home consoles because I don't feel like upgrading my PC for games anymore.

    I can't wait to play it!

    Sounds like bad propaganda to me. It's also none of my business what other kids are playing. Presumably the parents know what their kids are playing. If they don't, they're fucking up.

    I've never played Postal before. I doubt I'll play this one.

    I remember this. It didn't really work out the way media intended(IIRC the game got banned too?)...
