seeing people talking about this "aging poorly" as if it wasn't fully intentionally designed to piss people off and wasn't a technical pile of shit on day one is amusing to say the least
it's a game that opens with someone kicking their dog before visiting a stereotypically-ran convenience store which houses suicide bombers. playing postal 2 while being the kind of person who gets angry at postal 2 is like going to a television broadcast and clapping when the blinking lights say "applause"
for most others, though, it's pretty damn funny

i feel Maybe Slightly Guilty about how dismissive i am toward games with offensive content while heralding this as probably my favorite shooter
@personperson while content isn't really a deterrent for me in most cases, i think context does matter. and considering the offensive nature of postal 2 was really an open "fuck you" to any and all criticism towards violent video games a la jack thompson, it carries a very different message than something like hatred or even the first postal - something that i think is lost when people view this game as a product of today rather than 20 years ago
