Thread 12074163

Does anybody kmow where to find the original version of this game? I' talking pre-Share the Pain, back when the Fag Hunter arcade machine wasn't removed yet.

Also, Postal 2 thread.

Some Russian pirate sites AFAIK. There's a dude on Youtube named KeshaFilm and he's a real Postal freak, you can probably ask him for a direct link.

Are there no original Postal 2 CD-ROMs in Redump?

>>12074191
Good tip, thank you.

>>12074163 (OP)
Knowing the devs, you could probably send them an email or shout them out on Twitter. As long as you can prove that you've either bought the game at least once before or you're a Postal megafan then they'll send you a copy of the old version for free.

>>12074163 (OP)
Fag hunter wasn't in the original though. It was added in by the Russian guy who created the gore and weapon expansion, which was just ripped from that shitty horror mod. The absolute original didn't have full limb dismemberment and that detailed blood system. You could look up skirts and see vagina though before it got patched.

What are you talking about? It was in the original game. There's a few things RWS changed from v1000 to v1337. Fag Hunter was one of them, which was replaced by Bastard Fish arcade. The Crackola vending machines also used to be Pepsi machines and the hand models were different.

>>12074209
Yes it was, you have no idea what you're talking about.

>>12074214
Then why did my version that came with the limited edition anniversary cereal box have fag hunter in it? It included all the expansions plus the added gore mod and the horror mod. I just assumed it was an addition by the guy who created all the extra shit

>>12074223
Are you stupid? The gore and dismemberment were added in Apocalypse Weekend. Then a team of modders made a mod called "A Week in Paradise", which was supposed to initially just add the gore from AW + Sunday and Friday to the main game, and later they expanded it to add some more stuff and along side it, restored the Fag Arcade prop and attempted to restore the cut Arcade quest.

Eternal Damnation has nothing to do with this (it did influence the later Steam port however)

>>12074223
He probably just added it back in. I played this shit in 2003 on the 1.0 release and it was there, believe me.

>>12074228
How bad did it run back then? I remember performance being a giant complaint around launch

>>12074226
>>12074228
Ohhhhhh I just looked it up the original a week in paradise mod had a playable fag hunter machine that was an actual mini game. Funny that RWS patched it out but then thought it was fine to include it back again with their anniversary release in 07

>>12074236
Pretty rough but not enough to detract from the fun. I also had a shit PC in general.

>>12074240
The minigame itself was never in the original. It was entirely made up by the modders. Only the original Fag Hunter arcade model was in the original.

wildly cool, never knew this

Proof?

There was no vagina in the original, just another small stand-alone texture mod. I had a CD-R back in the day that featured it

>>12076426
still pretty cool, even if its not fully modelled.

I haven't played the original game since the mid 2000s but I installed it on steam a few years ago and it seemed like they changed a ton of things. I didn't like it as much. I

I can't say for certain, but it seems like they added a shit ton more NPCs to the overworld to the point where you can't go 10 feet with triggering the cops. Also they added a bunch of ridiculously fugly character models that I don't remember being in, and a bunch of stupid hotkeys and menu sliders for all this junk I don't care about. I can't quite put my finger on it but something just felt off.

>>12076739
it seems like they added in a bunch of fan mods to the base game and went hard with the visual options. i'd be fine with this if the original was offered as a separate product in tandem.

I think I have the original CD somewhere. Might be at my mom's...

>back when the Fag Hunter arcade machine wasn't removed yet.
Fag Hunter was removed in a patch for the Steam release. It was still in Share the Pain. Furthermore the fag hunter minigame was something added in the AWP mod it was never in the official retail releases besides Postal Fudge Pack.

>>12076067
how meta!

>>12078264
The Fag Hunter machine also came back in the Paradise Lost DLC.

rutracker

and now the flowers will grow

>this thread
I got the game on Steam but haven't played it yet, are you telling me I bought a bastardized version of the game with content removed and a bunch of mods added by default??? Fuck that, now I'm mad

>>12079635
That's true of literally everything on Steam
That's the whole point of forced updates
Even Doom has green medkits and shit

>>12079635
Always was the case, good morning anon.

I found a v1000 link but after install it just fails to start regardless of compatability settings. I noticed on my GoG version though, in the extra downloads menu under the game page there's a link called "complete original game" that's 1.4gb smaller than the regular download link, so fingers crossed it's the original release without any patches. I'll find out shortly and report back.

>>12076739
>>12079635
a "classic mode" was added to the steam version a few years ago

>>12080832
Shit, he's never coming back...

>>12080928
neat

>>12080971
Just finished making dinner and then I'm going to be electrocuting cats and burning down gay bars after cleaning up, god willing. I haven't abandoned my mission yet.

Unfortunately the GoG "complete original version" is patched, has share the pain addon and removed the fag hunter machines, but otherwise it's pretty damn close to the 2003 release than the Steam version.

bump

>archive.org links don't work
>GoG original version isn't really original
>Steam version is obviously shit
>on eBay a loose copy of the disc goes for 100 fucking dollars or more for some reason (low print run combined with infamy I guess)
Okay, I'm getting desperate here. I contacted Vince Desi personally, gave him a short spiel about being a huge fan and asked if he had any resource for the original version. Not expecting much, but it's worth a shot.

I also remembered something: the Postal movie DVD from 2007 included a straight up copy of the game. The movie DVD goes for about $20 brand new on eBay (and you get the movie with it, obviously) so I bought one. Once it gets here, I'll bust it open and install it. With any luck it'll be one of the early patches that still has fag hunter and minimal changes otherwise.

>Eastern European lore
Tell me more, anon. I love these Eastern European stories.

I wonder how many people played this game without realizing that you can get on top of basically every building and there are tons of items/entire secret areas you can access by doing so. I only just recently found the backlot filled with cats and loot behind the lucky ganesh. The house that sells health pipes has sniper rifle ammo on top of it too which is bizarre, and it's really hard to get up there. Unironically has the best exploration of any FPS I've ever played. Puts Half-Life 2 to fucking shame.

>>12086213
up yours

>play postal 2 on steam
>if you try to steal the jihad goat milk, a metal door prevents you from leaving
holy cucked. putting aside the fact that having multiple ways to complete the objectives is part of the game design, who thought being able to burn trannies and kick people to death was fine but that stealing a carton of milk was a bridge too far?

dropped

>>12088417
That's because HL2 is a FPS and Postal 2 is GTA without cars, or a Gmod server without players.

This thread got me to play this game again for the first time in like 4-5 years, I actually forgot how obscenely strong the feral dogs below Lucky Ganesh are.

>>12091580
I used to get punked by that dog at the house in the beginning as a kid, he'd always sneak up on me no matter what and get a few bites in. Now I always grab the tazer first on every playthrough and zap the shit out of him. I've tried befriending him many times but I've never won him over, I don't know if he's hard coded to be aggressive or I'm retarded.

>>12084731
>>12084770
I tried installing this one after another version I found on archive.org and it wouldn't even let me access the contents. PowerISO refused to mount it and WinCDemu said "the disc is dirty". I'm glad you got it working but I'm not sure what you did, I've tried everything. I'm on Win10 and it looks like you are too, so I don't think it's an OS issue.

this game's weapons are more satisfying than they have any right to be

Is there a way to enable shadows for character models?

>pepsi machine
now this I don't recall. got a pic?

>>12095059
There were no Pepsi machines, it was always Crackola. He might be thinking of the machines where you can see the drinks inside, if you look closely you can make out pepsi and sprite bottles. Those were never removed AFAIK.

>>12079730

Sadly true - everything getting ruined.

>>12083281
Kek, he actually got back to me. The dude is like 70 years old and still took the time to reply to some retard fan of a 22 year old game. Doubt anything will come of it but Vince is a class act. Cheers, Mr. Desi.

>>12096132
I saw a bunch of clips of him at conventions with postal dude cosplayers. Guy knows keeping his fans happy is important

>>12096132
That's really nice of him.

>>12082868
This can't be good for me but I feel great
