Chaotic evil.

Postal 2 Complete, the legendary sandbox of sadistic stunts and mindless mayhem with no political correctness whatsoever, is available 60% of on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

Video games can play a vital role in shaping the future generations. This is a good thing! There are games that can convey many important values, like friendship, loyalty, selflessness, and honor. Games that can improve our cognitive skills and enhance our logical thinking. Games that can teach you a thing or two about things like economy and enterprise. Games that will make you more environmentally aware and more sensitive to social issues. Games that, in short, will make you a better person. This, however, is not one of those games. Not by a long shot.

Postal 2 Complete is all about mayhem. You're given an opportunity to blow off some steam in a sandbox environment of a comically depicted town. The game's imagery of violence is very graphic, but the over-the-top presentation leaves no doubt: this is only a game, and it does not even try to be realistic. Nonetheless, Postal 2 became the poster boy for video game violence and as such it made a place for itself in the gaming hall of eternal fame. The version we provide comes with the Share the Pain multiplayer extension and the Apocalypse Weekend campaign add-on, so you get to experience the game in all of its (in)glory.

Get the psycho-party started, get Postal 2 Complete on GOG.com, for only $3.99. The promo lasts until Tuesday, March 12, at 10:59AM GMT.
Bought on release here.
I personally thought 1 was better for no other reason than the cool painted backgrounds which may seem VERY minor considering you couldn't really interact with them, but they gave the whole thing a gloomy Industrial Revolution/Dali vibe that I thought was great. 2 obviously doesn't have this, but for 3.99 who cares!? That's pocket change, unless you are me and had to get someone to loan it to you. :P

tinyE: XD The very fact that a game called Postal even HAS THE OPTION of avoiding bloodshed (however difficult) is a crime! I'm guessing you never played the 1st one; the only way to advance was to kill a predetermined percentage of people on each level. As far as I know you could advance without fire bombing the parade but what would have been the fun in that? Oh man, I can see it now, piles of dead burnt bodies, trombones, and lost hope! Now that was a game!
The game is advertised by its makers and fans as "only as violent as you are". That is a big crock of shit.

jamyskis: Why would you want to avoid bloodshed in Postal 2 of all games?
Because the gameplay involved is so shitty, for one.

tomimt: The makers of Postal 2 actually made it as a big point way back when the game was published originally. There was much controversey because of how violent the game was, so they said that game can be played trhough without violence, wich is, as fair I know, a pretty tedious and badly implemented. I doubt many people have tried it, I know I got bored with the nonviolent way pretty quickly and I'd say the non-violent path is also impossible in most missions of the game.

And yes, I do think Postal is a bad game, not because it's offensive, but because it's not a very good game.

MrFortyFive: This actually makes me want to try it just to see how tacked on the non-violent path really is. Regardless of the quality of the game, I've always been curious to play it due its strange place in gaming history. In that respect, I'm glad to see it's on GOG and being promoted.
A couple of very early assignments can be completed without killing anyone because nobody tries to do the same to you, but all the rest are ones where a really "wacky" parody of some subculture rushes you en masse and wants you dead at any cost.

Sigh. Give it a rest. You obviously do not understand what the word Postal means and/or comes from. Yeah, yeah, I think we get it, violence is a bad thing. This is a video game. No sprites are actually hurt in the production of it.

he has once tried to mutilate me, but I think it was called for as it was while I was raping him.
Only as violent as you are. HAHAHAHA! That IS a crock. That game can't even come close! MUHAHAHAHA!!!
To everybody thinking of buying this, just ignore the people on here saying of how bad a game it actually is and that you shouldn't buy it. Some people can't grasp the fact that others can like something when they don't. It's a good game. I love it. This is well worth it for $3.99.

Actually I only see one person here telling everyone not to get it. The rest of us are intellectuals. :P
This game is rubbish

Just kidding

If you're looking a fun murdering game then I recommend Postal 2

PS Postal 2 made me into the most evil person alive

How delightfully condescending of you. Incidentally, the number one defense that Postal fans use is that the game is hated only for its oh-so-anarchistically violent and politically incorrect content when the game is just plain bad in every area. And who can blame them, it's a wonderful strawman that shifts the conversation away from the game's actual shittiness.

Soldier of Fortune is much more graphic than Postal 2, and it's also a much better game. The GTA and Hitman series are infinitely better as a means to iterate murder and massacre scenarios, and all the more chilling as well. All of those games have gathered at least some amount of acclaim, and they're all more brutal in their content and atmosphere than Postal 2 which is just obnoxious and mean-spirited both in general and toward the player.

Actually, I concur. I believed the bullshit that was said about Postal 2 and as a result I bought the game. Therefore it's only fair that everyone else does that, too, especially after having read warnings not to.

"Trying to avoid bloodshed is tedious and unrewarding..."
That is a direct quote from you, is it not? That to me sounds like a gripe based on the game being too violent. NO ONE is begrudging you your opinion; I think our only beef is that you seem to be critical of the game because it's not very polished in content or gameplay, which is totally true, but it's Postal! Complaining about a game like Postal or Postal 2 or Carmageddon or Blood for their lack of polish is like criticizing a porno for it's lack of plot.

You don't like it? Fine. Great. It is our differences that make the world a beautiful place. However you could have expressed that by simply stating you didn't like it, not casting a blanket statement on it as if your opinion was ALSO my opinion and her opinion and his opinion. Relax my friend. Charles Whitman was too high strung and wouldn't it be ironic if you turned into him? :P

On a related note, don't buy Flatout! The "Human Darts" is totally unrealistic! There are other games out there where the simulation of launching a person out of a car onto a giant dart board is WAY BETTER implemented than with this piece of crap!

Well isn't that why almost everybody buys/doesn't buy games, because they believed the stuff that was said about it? There's only one way to find out if you really like a game or not, and that's playing it. There are many people who haven't played Postal 2 and there's a good chance that they'll actually like it.

Personally, I find Postal 2 to be utterly unlikable and unenjoyable. Not just because it's ham-handed, shoddy, juvenile, and boring after more than 15 minutes, but because it seems to think that its apathy puts it above any criticism. Sorry, but not caring that you're making a crappy game does not excuse the fact that you're making a crappy game, and no amount of urine or politically incorrect jokes are going to fix that.

Still, some people like it, and if you're a person that's going to like it chances are you already know that, and I won't try and change your mind. Potential buyers be warned, however: don't bother with this one unless the promise of irreverent mayhem and crude humor is enough to make up for what is essentially a worthless core game.

That's a good point. I don't deny that when it comes to entertaining the masses I am the lowest common denominator. Fact is I haven't even played the full game but when I do, if I don't like it, that's what I will say, I don't like it. Nothing more.
I already have it.

I'm going to install and play it.
