Anybody played Postal 2?

[squidman]

That game is RAW!!! I mean its a friggin pukin-meat grinder!!! This game is soooo cool! UT2 engine!

I think it's awesome, but the demo is too short. It's not the ut2 engine by the way.

I wouldn't call it creative--it's downright fsking disrepectful of those who have died in those events. :|

neat game. gets old pretty quickly as you run out of things to do. loading between levels is pretty annoying.

I have to agree with that...

The only ones attracted are those who have never experienced real violence, for those that have its not that big of a deal. As a game...it sucks...the gameplay is terrible and the loading issue ruins it.

I played the demo and enjoyed it, but not enough to buy the game. A friend did buy it though, and he's having a good time with it.

"I got captured by rednecks and they made me their gimp!" - Nice homage to Pulp Fiction.

On the whole I think people have been fairly harsh in their treatment of the game. Yes the load times are annoying, but in any particular load zone you have a fairly large level with detailed, populated interiors and an open, hilly exterior that meets my standard of "good enough to permit suspension of disbelief" detail. The AI's interaction with each other and some of the scripted sequences are entertaining and dare I say polished.

Moreover, you can finish the game without ever firing a bullet. The implications of that element alone puts a smile on my face - if you think the game is #%$@ed up, then maybe you should just take a closer look at how you assume you are supposed to play it. If I had a category in my budget for "support worthy efforts at unconventional/irreverant game design", the folks at Running with Scissors would be top on the list for my money. As it is, I picked up Vice City for PC from my "enjoy myself when not at work" budget and that'll hold me for a while.

That said, I would love to see a Postal 3 made with the Half Life 2 engine...

and you then have to run across town in a s/m leather suit to get to your clothes. I havent finished it yet but I just can't wait to go and get the mail.

Nah, the game itself cost me 2 bux...i just played it a tad, but my steam-powered GTS dont like it really much. Ill wait for 9500 Pro to arrive, then ill have some fun! And yes, it is kinda gloomy and depressing, thats why when i played it a tad, i immideatly switched onto something "realistic" like BF1942, or NFS hot pursuit 2...

I didn't think it was nearly as gorey as the SOF series and the demo got old pretty fast.

SOF2.... the gutshot is a classic


take a shotgun to someones bowels, and their intestines hang out and they try to hold them back in as they die...
