This has the same main character as the new Deus Ex.

this game seems fucking terrible. I figure that's at least partially on purpose, though.

this game seems like it's going to have a ton of Charlie Sheen jokes in it.

I've never seen a postal game. Had no idea it was so bad.

Not to defend Postal games in any shape or form, but the previous Postals were more of a free roaming retard sandbox with missions on the side.

Trying to add a profound narrative is the worst idea they could come up with in a game where people literally want to boot it up and piss on burned bodies.

Postal 1, way back in the day, wasn't that bad of a game really. It felt very Syndicate-ey.

Something tells me that some of the things wrong with this game will be fixed by a crapton of mods (BTW the SDK will come out this month). Others may be patched up/improved, just like Postal 2 before it.

I can't believe the first quick look of the year is also the best quick look of the year. No awards necessary this year.

Most disgusting quick look on Giant Bomb? Confirmed. I'd rather watch both of the Saw quick looks 5 times than watch this again.

EDIT: And they insult Arcades? This game is DUMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

I actually enjoyed playing Postal 2. It was a decent fps with hilarious mechanics and it was just fun to terrorize the people in town.

This "game" doesn't have any of that. Except maybe pee and lighting gasoline on fire. (and it does a poor job at that) This doesn't even look remotely fun. So whats the next Postal gonna be? RTS? (first was top-down, second was fps, third is a shitty TPS)

Oh, no, no, no! This is gonna be my DNF, isn' it? The first two both kinda sucked gameplay-wise but I found part two to be pretty fucking funny back in the day. Save a tree, burn a book and all that. Yeah, okay it probably never was any good. But this... this is just terribly sad. Fuck this.

Postal 3 was never meant for people with taste. It's made by and for the kind of shitty skin heads and internet tough guys who hang out on the RWS forums.

The Duke Nukem Forever quick look is still the king of awful, for me.

The difference is that game didn't think it was being profoundly disgusting, but it was. Postal 3 is trying way too hard to be profoundly disgusting and is just busted and unfinished and unfunny.

So i hate to defend the game, but if this game is anything like Postal 2, had you not pushed that red button...something different would've happen.

the goal is to go through your boring ass day and make it to the end, however you choose. you don't have to kill anyone.

This is a videogame where Murder is the answer to all of life's problems and monkeys infected with AIDS rape people in the face. If you're offended by an amusing use of the word "retarded", Vinny, you'd better cash out now.

If you think that the use of the word is in any way amusing or extracts any kind of humor, then I'm sorry, but grow up. Not cause I'm offended by the use of the word, but because trying to be funny by using the word "retarded" is so indicative of grade school, 11 year old "humor."

"...No, it's AIDS. That guy's jacking off."

If there were ever a single combination of words that would alone, completely turn me off of a game, that would be it.

Nope. At least Deadly Premonition had charm and a goofy (in a good way) story. This is just lazy, juvenile, unfunny, and embarrassing. I think you're misinterpreting why DP is liked. It's not because it played terribly, like you seem to think.

Yeah I think you should have put some quotes around the word "amusing" there pal.
