Quick Look: Postal III

This game makes Saint's Row 3 and Shadows of the Damned look like the holy grail. If the objective was to laugh at how shitty this game was, then this is a success. The commentary is much more funny than this game, if you can even call it that.

@Milkman: Agreed.

I was sort of hoping this game would be enjoyable in like, a terrible way. The same way Postal 2 was. This is just... bland. A cardinal sin if ever there was one.

I think its fine. When it goes down to like 10$ ill pick it up. It's not meant to be good.

can you look at sexy porn? :d

Vinny and I think alike. It's a bad Duke Nukem Forever. Holy shit, worst thing I've ever seen.

Wow, just wow... lol

Saints Row is exactly what this game was trying to be. Something silly, but that doesn't take itself too seriously and knows how to be fun. This is none of those things, this is just plain bad.

Why was this game made?

The GB crew taking one for the team.

Wow, I remember enjoying Postal 2 in spite of its awfulness. This game just looks lame, tedious and broken.

Pfff, of course they didn't like it; you're supposed to be drunk and/or high while playing.

Hey remember the economic meltdown? HEY REMEMBER THAT THING? REMEMBER IT? HUH? HUH? YOU GUYS? REMEMBER!? LIKE HOW WE ARE BEING SUBTLE! HUH? WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE!

Postal 2 (w/ the AWP mod/patch) was excellent...it's an absolute shame that this is what they did with 3. I may trudge through it someday when I'm bored and it's had a couple years to be patched but man they blew it. All they had to do was expand on the core concepts of Postal 2 and update the graphics and fans would have been happy...but noooooo...

Early contender for 2012's 2011 Worst GOTY.

I think that the game might have a shot for someone anywhere to maybe enjoy this but after seeing this, it looks like it's still a far way off from being in a playable state. Remember that the first two postal games not being that bad technically compared to this & would rather go play either of those than this 3rd entry.

Postal 2. Go play Postal 2. At least that one had some spirit in all it's lame and stupidity.

Holy cow, I don't even remember hearing anything about Postal 3 being released, and I wasn't that far from the interwebz the past 2 weeks (I love vacations).

This was one of the funniest quick looks I've seen in a long time. No thanks to the game's "humor," of course.

I one to physically punch and kick the crap out of the dudes who made this game.

Laughed so hard at Brad's response to the "Arcade" loading screen. I was thinking one of them would say that.

Is this really the only thing they have put out since Postal 2?

Well...

I like the menu font? Like it's pretty nice for a hand-drawn-looking font? I think that's about it.

I lost my shit at the terrible, non-animated m16 decap.

This game is IMPRESSIVE.

There is no way this is actually a finished game. Maybe in Russia game finishes you.

I sensed this killed Ryan, Brad and Vinnie at some level. This is a day of grief.

This is the Tim Buckley of video games.

What does this even mean?

Ever read Ctrl+Alt+Del? That dude recently did a strip how the main character is so dumb that he snorts instant soup ingredients thinking it's astronaut food.

That's all the humor there is. And it's explained in around 9 bubbles the size of my thumb on a 1680x1050 screen.

I was thinking the same thing: Saints Row seems like this, only, you know, great and not just plain dumb.

And they made three of these...

Saint's Row the Third is a much, much better game

Hey remember the economic meltdown? HEY REMEMBER THAT THING? REMEMBER IT? HUH? HUH? YOU GUYS? REMEMBER!? LIKE HOW WE ARE BEING SUBTLE! HUH? WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE!

Don't even compare this trash to Saints Row the Third.

@Milkman: Agreed.

Duke Nukem AND Postal for the first couple Quick Looks? Oooooh Noooooo 2012 is doooomed!

That game looks so bad and unfinished. The older Postal games had some little charm to them. This has nothing and seems to be best left in the trash.

Why do the cutscenes look like the movies I've made in the game, Movies?

This made me want to watch the Portal TANG video.

Postal Dude sounds a bit like Brad.

What garbage. At least Postal 2 is mediocre at best.

I'm starting to think that "Node Graph out of Date. Rebuilding..." joke isn't really a joke, but an actual error.

No, they made two... somewhat decent games and then they made this god awful mess. Postal 2 was nowhere near as bad as this.

This game is fantastic.

Wow, just wow... How did they ever release this at full price?!

Postal 2 was funny, especially with some mods. This ain't.

That poor dog deserves a better tribute.

Is Postal Dude deliberately Adam Jensen, or is he just trenchcoat gloves and glasses for its own '90s stereotype sake? Anyway, that's the best thing I see going here as far as satire. And it's not going very far.

It was fucking terrible and fucking stupid until the HIV cat thing, then it just became awful.

I thought my headphones were breaking when the buzzing started.

how bad can you make a game? so bad that you cant buy it in a real country

That sound you hear is Duke Nukem Forever sighing.
