Hi there, would you like to sign my petition?
I read this as Portal 2, I was like, it's controversial?
- Okay, good, that wasn't just me. Had to read it 3 times.. anyway, bring it! Loved postal 2, stupid as it may be.
I'm not sure if I would consider today's Unity being an upgrade from UE2. 🤔
But considering how 90% of the game is in UnrealScript, they should probably just write an interpreter in Unity so that existing mods have a better chance at working.
This is the stupidest game with some of the best game design ever. It's like a purposefully crafted B movie that is so bad it's funny, except that it's not even actually bad, it's just offensive and completely off the fucking wall batty.
The movie is equally stupid, bad-but-not-bad, and it was made by Uwe fucking Boll. Literally the director's best work.
Has it really been 20 years? Damn, I'm not ashamed to admit I don't think I ever finished the game in that time.
Each playthrough ended in fucking around with gasoline, pissing out some innocent bystanders that happened to stray too close and taking out the rest with cat-silenced guns. Bonus points if the cat gave out and was launched straight into somebody's face, vomit all around. Good memories playing this with my younger brother. 😁
Hell yeah I love to see it! Unironically one of my favorite games, some of the best level design out there, boldly critiques game design and the people who are offended by games. They had an anniversary update a while back that added content and qol out of nowhere 20 years after release. I'm excited
As long as they never again include the

arcade/mini game that one of the physical releases had back in the day, and ideally fucking apologize for that shit, cool and I hope it goes well. Apart from that inexcusable bullshit, I'm a huge fan of Postal 2

Personally won't be doing the Kickstarter but would be interested in early access.
I'm interested. I don't preorder so kick-starting is also out.
Pretty sure I pirated the original way back when because I was a poor teen with an internet connection.
If it’s not too much I’ll grab this, it’s edge lordiness will be quaint at this point I’m sure!
