Postal 2 Not Violent Enough?
An anonymous reader writes "An article from Joystick101.org is claiming Postal 2 is not violent enough to be called a success. Everyone knows that the game failed to live up to expectations, but could more violence have made things better?" I just found Postal 2 to have load times far far longer than any other game I'd played of late, and my own impatience forced me to quit early.
Postal 2 was a failure in my eyes because the game just wasn't very good. A bad engine with annoying load times, ugly graphics, and the most obnoxious, loathsome main character to ever exist = a recipe for crap. "The Postal Dude?" Come on, how lame can you get? Is this supposed to be some Stereotypical-Uber Nerd's wet dream or something? A cigarette smoking, leather trench coat wearing, profanity spewing, software developer working, gun toting, faux bad ass? Oh, he's so cool! He shot his air conditioner, said something "politically incorrect" and peed on something! *giggle* I sure wish I had the balls to do that!
