Postal 2 was slightly fun. This looks like the opposite.

Not fun. Tedious. Wow, this is bad.

Love the Ren and Stimpy sidebar, though.

Same. The humor in this atleast doesn't seem as cringe-inducing as DNF.

Postal 2 was a pretty hilarious game for its time. I won't say it was a good game, but it made me laugh a lot. Smoking crack to gain health was a highlight. Anyway, the movie was absolutely awful, and with Uwe Boll in the opening credits, this game looks more like a licensed "game of the movie" than a sequel to Postal 2.

Besides which, I'm not even sure a "true" sequel to Postal 2 would be any good. It reminds me of Duke Nukem; the jokes in these games were great at the time they came out, but trying to resurrect them now is bound to come off lame and unfunny. And that's kind of the problem with all these remakes and nostalgia pieces you see in the games industry and Hollywood these days - some art is timeless, sure, but most of it dates pretty rapidly.

I know I'm late on this QL, but, man, Brad, Steam has been doing progress achievements for at least two or three years.

Wow. I mean, wow. Postal 2 didn't look that great to begin with, but it's golden compared to this mess. Consider it avoided.

See, sometimes inappropriate comedy can be funny if it is self aware of it's stupidity (ie: Saints Row 3) but in this case, if you are forced to use the word, retarded and other offensive things to get your point across, it comes off as sad and pathetic.

Enjoyable video. Miserable games at least provide fodder for those.
