The Most Controversial Game In History
This video looks at the entire postal franchise, from is many games, to the postal movie itself, it critiques the games and looks at the violence they represent to see if the games really are the worst games ever made.
The postal games are often called the worst games ever made, or the most violent games ever made, and while postal 1, had it's quirks, I think the game received more hate than it deserved, that's why I made this video, hope you enjoy!

    So this video is where I disappeared to for the past month. I know it's easy to hate on a creator for trying new things, but my moods and drive to make videos drops massively when I can't actually BE CREATIVE. So please, just give it a chance, much love! Also, I know it’s cringe to hear, but if you have the ability to share this video anywhere, be that Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, anywhere at all, it would really help this video get out there, thanks :)

    I was doing a pacifist run when I tried to get Gary's autograph, but for some reason someone waiting in line aggro'd Gary so everyone pulled out shotguns(Hestonworld moment) and started killing each other. After Gary massacred everyone else around him, he got stuck kicking a corpse and would never go back to his desk to let me actually finish the task. I tried making friends with him by kicking the same cadaver but I guess I got boot dirt on his suit because he immediately started lobbing grenades at me. Cut to me trying to lead Gary Coleman around the mall while he ripped me apart with an assault rifle, hoping he'd accidentally shoot someone else and THEY would kill him. After 20 minutes of mass slaughter, a few cops FINALLY managed to kill Gary and I could take his autograph from his tiny, headless corpse. Modern gaming needs more moments like this.

    Fun Fact: when the US Supreme Court was deciding a case on whether sales of violent video games to minors should be banned in California, Justices Kagan and Breyer played Postal 2 as an example of a violent, offensive game. Breyer was disgusted, but Kagan was having fun with it, and the court ruled 7-2 against banning violent video game sales to minors, I believe citing the fact that it should be up to the parents to decide what kind of things their children should be exposed to, and that the children would just get adults to buy the games for them anyway.

Combined with the long line and someone cutting me I thought after like literal 7 minutes of waiting “F**k this.” and pulled out my M16 and just pulled the trigger thinking “Ehh… it just another sin to confess to.” Sometimes it really is easy to tip you over in that game.

    I heard the reason why they changed the ending of Postal 1 was because Postal 1 was made before Columbine, before there were school shootings in the United States, originally the ending was supposed to be something so outrageously shocking and horrific that would be unthinkable. Since reality ended up devolving down to Postal 1's level, by the remake they wanted to change as the message was gone. There are real world monsters who are far more threatening than the Postal Dude.

    One thing I may add to this topic: despite it quite "cartoonish" looks and apparent "clunkyness", Postal 2 had some nicely done technical features: NPCs had ability to react both to Dude's or other NPCs action in various ways (like when walking with unzipped pants), they also had functional facial expressions. You may use kick to open doors or deflect incoming rockets. You can precisly cut of limps or part of it, or decapitate someone and move the head by kick or showel (and NPCs would still react to this). You may even choke of your own piss, eat a shit, lure cops with donuts and we still didnt mention all actions that are possible. Even if we found some features "immature" or "disturbing", the amount of care and passion RWS put into Postal 2 is incredible and adding gameplay as violent as player, truly put the game much above type of gore slasher, as many would like to see it. Also, any video about Postal 2 without Tora Bora map is incomplete.

    regarding Postal 1 i must say the ending really made me feel uncomfortable not talking about the kids stuff since i played redux. Just the way the animation just weirdly wobles around, the art feeling incredibly closed in like the walls are seconds away from crushing postal dude, the weird tantacles seemingly nearing postal dude with the intend to just pull him into their grasp all while instead of helping the dude we just hear a news report or puplic speech that tries to sound like they are concerned and understanding but we see what is going on. Instead of getting the help he needs he is left to suffer and be tortured by his twisted mind prisson. I love this scene because it so perfectly makes me feel unwell.

Of course, its not as bad as the 35 incidents that took place between 1993 and 1994(and about 30 the year before that) however, looking at the fact that we already have 27 shootings 7 months in the year, we aren't looking so great.

    One theory I've seen going around for postal 1 is that there wasn't any killing at all, that the entirety of the game's events took place in the postal dude's mind, which would be a kind of interesting parallel to the person playing the game. At the time postal came out, video game violence was a hotly debated topic, and what is playing a violent video game besides playing pretend with extra steps? Postal Dude could have been isolated as a result of having violent fantasies, and in solitary confinement his mental state could have deteriorated to such a degree that he's convinced he's living out those fantasies. I'm pretty sure that's not the intended message, but I enjoy thinking of messages you /could/ take away from a story, even if it's inaccurate

    I feel like the elementary school being added in was a creative way of showing how you've become a monster without actually having to harm the children. You took yourself here to act upon your urges, even if you didn't hurt them, the thought of actually doing it shows how far the main character (and also the player) have fallen from humanity. The ending shouldn't of been changed because it reflects on the player's actions. It's in your face but it shows that this isn't some self expression brought on by society, you're just a guy who wants to hurt people.

    As someone who considers myself to be pretty sensitive, I’ve never really considered the Postal series to be anything that shouldn’t exist or reprehensible to own/play. The thing about Postal is that it makes fun of and satirizes so many groups and types that you can tell that none of it has any actual malice behind the depictions. It’s just a video game where you can comically murder anyone you want and pee on their corpses if you feel so compelled to. Frankly I just think that news and media want something to cry about and blame for issues that are more deep than just video games inciting violence. It’s easier to blame something that doesn’t have a voice to argue back than to actually analyze what’s really wrong

    i know this video came out a long time ago, but i think the scene with the elementary schoolers in the first postal is where the dude finally realized what he was doing was wrong because he saw his own dead son as the children. that's why they all look identical to each other, they're all his dead son and he can't kill him. this could be because the son is already dead, but i think it's more symbolic of his love for his son and how he, the monster of the entire game who kills all that crosses his path of rage, couldn't bring himself to harm him (or the children he replaced). the post-hardmode scene is almost certainly a flashback of the funeral of his son and the children laughing is likely a callback to the elementary school level. this is more speculative, but maybe the son was killed by something other than disease, perhaps a person. this may explain why the dude couldn't kill the children at the school, because he would become the same type of person that killed his son (and ruined his entire life). it's this event that the flashback arises from. at the funeral, his current self falls to his knees because he realizes the gravity of the situation and thinks of all the other lives he's ruined on his rampage. he can't bring himself to hurt anyone else and the imagery of his son as all the children is what forces him to this conclusion.

I was a teenager at the time, and Postal 2 was this legendary game everyone talked about at school, but most people didn't even have it and just shared rumors. I remember one dude telling me that one of the missions on the first day is to go to the bakery and buy bread, and you can go postal and kill the baker and then the bread will be splattered with blood and you get to take soggy blood-soaked bread home... Looks like the "get milk from the store" mission turned into something much more brutal thanks to the rumor mill! I finally got a pirated copy of the game in the mid-00s and it was hilarious. I expected something way more gruesome, kinda like what Hatred ended up being, but got something with way more humor and less serious violence instead. But hey, edgy teens who wanna feel badass are gonna brag that they play the MOST VIOLENT GAME EVER that's banned in our country, and embellish the actual scenes from the game to make it seem more extreme than it is.

    It's not because our censors didn't like it. They are just a bunch of wusses who have no sense of humour whatsoever.

    Some people don't think like this and take it as an offense to the entire world. Such is the flaw of our emotions when we are driven less by common sense and more on brain washing, whether it's deliberate or not.
