Thread 718157060

I haven't gotten the chance to play it but everyone talks on how bad the game is, but they never follow up or explain why it's so bad

>>718157060 (OP)
not made by the team that made Postal 1 & 2

Actual answer is just too many things to quantify, it's a strange style of game outsourced to another team that's known for making a shitty joke mod for Postal 2 and that's it

But the other reason everyone talks about it but never says why is just that it's a meme to do it
"HAHA POSTAL 3 BAD" is the Postal fanbase equivalent of "Pineapple on pizza bad" you're supposed to just say it and get applause and the devs love it because they're not involved and can distract people from the fact that Postal 4 is pretty shoddy also

RWS propaganda.

it cant be worse than 4

>>718157134
This + bad optimization (and bad engine for a game like this, Valve themselves can't even properly make big open locations on Source)
>>718157316
It is worse than 4
Don't get me wrong, but you can have some fun in 4 even though it's mostly dogwater at best
3 is just pure cringe

>>718157060 (OP)
ok but why is that pic not from the actual game but from a Payday 2, on the San Martin Bank Heist, mod that repaces some heister with Postal Dude

It's a typical scam project by slavs, which is actually not that different from the original Stalker game. The only difference is that Grygorovych had actual talent in his studio while Postal 3 was handled by a notoriously scummy publisher that hired some absolute bottom of the barrel devs to save money.

Steve Wik (lead designer of Postal 2) went crazy and wrote an insanely expensive (to realise) and complicated design doc.
RWS fell apart after the release of Apocalypse Weekend and decided to outsource the development to Akella (as Postal 2 sold extremely well in Russia thanks to their localisation)
Then, instead of properly overseeing the Akella team to ensure they were working properly on the game, RWS let them fuck around travelling around the U.S. and fucked around themselves.
2008 strikes, everybody goes broke. Akella realises this, and considering Steve Wik's original design doc would've been expensive in the best of times, tells the team to shit out whatever they can out the door before promptly closing the studio.
RWS realise the fuck up and decide to blame it entirely on the Russians
That's the basic gist of it.

From what I understood, RWS outsourced the game to ruskies, but the editor, Akella, was hit really bad by the 2008 crisis, and fired all the employees at Trashmasters.ru except for the bottom of the barrel, who was just tasked to bugfix just a little an incomplete build before they ship it, leading to a really buggy and frustrating mess no one loved.

>dogwater
Get the fuck out of here, tranny retard.
Postal 4 is worse than Postal 3. They're equally broken and shit in design but AT LEAST Postal 3 doesn't have literal fucking kilometres of completely useless, redundant space.

But unlike Postal 3 pineapple pizza is actually pretty good

Is your IQ below ethanol freezing temp?

I'm personally more of a fan of nitrogen's freezing temperature. I've always strived to reach such a number
