POSTAL 4: No Regerts

I waited for this game to go off sale so I could buy it at full price. I have no regerts about it. Postal 4 is immensely fun and I recommend you play it. If it runs like molasses on your machine, try disabling all AntiAliasing, Shadows, and lowering vegetation density/distance. Increase the NPC population density while you're at it for maximum lulz. You're welcome. Even with the jank and the bugs (and believe me, there are many), the game is immensely fun. As a Postal 2 lover (base game; didn't care for the expansions), Postal 4 is in my opinion a better *game* and storyline, though I enjoyed Postal 2's atmosphere, themes and social relevance more (but I am infinitely grateful that Postal 4 does not harp on contemporary political events becuse that's way overdone by now). Can't have everything in life, but Postal 4 with its modern physics and larger zone sizes allow for a lot more nuance to gameplay. It's fun where it counts, even if I miss the jabs Postal 2 took at religion and that Postal 4 is overall playing it relatively "safe" by leaning harder into toilet humour. Honestly though, looking at the current social/political atmosphere, RWC wants to stay in business. I get it. No fault there. Gameplay wise, I discover new things every time I play it. Taking Vitamin X to ragdoll NPCs by kicking or gushing urine at them is the new All-American pasttime. NPCs are easier to make throw up now, and having ALL the Postal Dudes contribute voice lines is just a wonderful gift bestowed upon humanity. The amusement of using Taser rounds in my high powered rifle to launch NPCs over railings cannot be described in modern language. There are options to NOT kill people and still cause havoc and mayhem that would rival modern financial markets, so if you have scruples, you can still enjoy Postal 4. Wow! From a technical standpoint, I'm surprised and impressed that RWC and their development team managed to capture so much ambition and fidelity on an game made on the Unreal engine, and I think that's something that people here need to understand: Unreal was not made to contain the raw ambition and depth of a Postal game, but RWC + Co. made it happen anyway. The bugs and jank of the game actually endear me to it even more; navigating through the game is almost as much of an emergent, dynamic adventure as completing the objectives within the game itself. Sometimes the game works without a hitch and lets me do what I want, other times the game is having as bad of a day as I am and makes sure I know about it. I don't fault it. Hell, I work at a large video game company in my spare time, so I know firsthand that people (managers particularly) can be irredeemable sacks of human waste that make it hard to enjoy life, but Postal 4 gives me enough of a laugh with how bonkers it can be that it helps me forget about my abusive work environment. That's not a trivial accomplishment. RWC and Co: Great job guys, please keep working on the game and ignore the haters because they wouldn't recognize fun if it ran up to them and crammed a mallet up their ass.
