POSTAL 4: No Regerts

AI Is kinda life-less and clunky. Game crashed for me many times (I'm not using an amazing rig, but I should be able to run the game even if at low settings). This game for me seems worse than P3... And that was terrible, the story is bland, not to fun and seems rushed. This game seems to be a regurt-getation of old ideas that missed the other games mixed with ideas the Devs thought would be 'fun' or 'unique'... But somehow missing the humour, the comical P2 quests where somehow getting even 'milk' ends-up making mayhem and we all know how postal dude feels about working his ass-off and still being skint.. which is what makes us relate to him.. no one likes huge queues in places just to buy something like crisps, or walking in a piss-puddle, being splashed by that total dick'ed in a car who goes through puddles, etc. I love RWS but this game is just ..janky, so.. sadly I would say pass and get P2 with the add-ons as it's more fun (and look-up the fan made mods, there awesome as always).

My daughter is a huge fan of Postal 2. I saw this game on sale for $15 and picked it up for her. She played a few hours and said the game play is boring and repetitive. I decided to give the game a go and one of the first missions is collecting an absurd number of cats and dogs for some guy. I figured "well, at least Monday is over after this." Nope, two more long and boring missions to slog through. A lot of Postal fans seem to believe if you don't like the game, it's because you're offended. No, the game is boring as hell and the missions are repetitive to the point the game makes ME want to go postal on RWS. There are some good aspects, I really like the new vehicle and I like the collectibles scattered throughout town. I like the stores and different outfits you can buy. I don't know how broken the AI is but I do know that in Postal 2, I could set a dog on fire and watch as he runs into a crowd of people and also sets them on fire. In Postal 4, the dog catches on fire and whines as he burns to death in front of me.

It's more Postal 2. Except for Paradise Lost, which is literally more Postal 2. Postal 4 is the true sequel to Postal 2, and not that one number that happens between 2 and 4, which is also the number that Valve refuses to acknowledge.

For EVERYONE who is regerting on performance issues: just turn off FOLIAGE DENSITY (switch to 0 or maximum 1). It doesn't affect flowers, bushes, trees, cactus, only this stupid 3D grass. Who the hell puts 3d grass in game- don't ask me - it should be vertical 2D textures or frames will drown down like floppy fick. Postal4 feels like a weekend casual fun pew-pew game. If it was Postal2Remaster it would be understandable. There are "up-dated" jokes (like usage of mobile phones by every person in the streets, and nonstop record-reaction for Dude's actions), silly situations, posters, bystander gossips, many items kickable interaction and so on. However, it's just nowadays absurds sticked together, put in some canyon city and called a Game. It gets boring fast. So better treat it like casual fun from time to time. BTW I play with my old PC: Intel i7-4770k, 32GB RAM, Geforce gtx1080, SSD, Windows10; PProcessing, Occlusion, Shadows, Textures, Effects, Fluids on ultra quality, no blur, overpopulation and other performance options on default setting and everything is fine in 60 FPS. (I have Nvidia Effects turned ON in video tab options). [It's rather 3 and a half stars for rating.]

Wasrte of money don't buy this cash grab. Compared to Postal 2 (and Postal 1) this game is BORING. Nothing ever happens. The NPCs are non-reactive. Too much time spent walking/driving around looking for collectibles hidden in random bulidings. I've played Postal 2 through several times since 2003 and it's always a laugh to get some rediculous series of events to happen. This game is empty in comparison.
