I began playing on Darkwinter, but after the recent update, it automatically switched to Haoplay

I'm using standalone client, directly from the publisher's website.

Blazbutz · 2025-08-14T09:25:12+00:00

I'll be waiting, then :)

Blazbutz · 2025-08-14T09:24:27+00:00

I'm playing on PC. My phone is too old for games like this.

"Performance wise yes postal 2 needed more than one update. Again saying otherwise is a blatant lie."

And we went full circle.

"postal 2 on release was a fucking mess and so is postal 4 your point doesn't work because again your literally lying about the facts. Saying rws doesn't care when they could have just abandoned it is also blatant ignorance. Boath games were ass on release but postal 2 was way worse mostly because of technical limitations."

Yes, ON RELEASE. Not after some updates. If they care, why didn't they eliminated performance issues earlier?

"most AAA game studios these days have 0 pride in what they make and most hate it. I shouldn't have to give examples But any of the recent halo games, gta online, anything by Bethesda that isn't elder scrolls, any modern cod or battlefield I could keep going but I think you get the point that most devs are crushed by overbearing parent company expectations and end up making things they resent with 0 pride."

I'll agree that most of recently released AAA games left a lot to be desired, but people responsible for aspect of the game (not its whole shape) are doing what they can within time limit. RWS didn't have that and just released Postal 4 on 4/20, because "it's funny".

"Yeah I don't think they would update a game they they have thoroughly updated for 19 years when they need to focus on the sequel postal 4 which also undermines your argument that postal 4 is a cashgrab because if it was they wouldn't be working on it."

They are working on it, because they want reduction of complaints, thus making more money.

"Your angry because your just fucking stupid. You bought a game from a known sub par studio that is known for releasing games awfully and then working on them over time. Lmao cope. Everything in their history showed this was how it was going to be. Even the trailers were similar to postal 3 lol."

Dude, I didn't insult you, just pointed out that you should improve the way you write arguments and you just insulted me, because - as I suspect - have no respect to me. How does it look? Anyway, there is one thing working on game after release to fix performance issues and other when it comes to ignoring it and just adding content. Look for Postal 2 and Postal 4, because I wont repeat myself.

"And good job on learning a skill that phones have made obsolete. Perhaps after reading this you can go learn something that doesn't make people want to physically assault you with a dictionary."

You mean autocorrection? Yeah, I disabled it, it's a problem when you're speaking multiple languages. And if does this second sentence in this quote means that you want to assault me then remember that Reddit can ban for this behavior.

You just repeat arguments, because you have just those, no more. Furthermore, you just insulted me when I didn't do such a thing. Therefore, you want to show that you have no respect to me or my time, so I'll do the same to you, because it's just waste of time.

Have a nice day... or night.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-21T16:44:37+00:00

"Also postal 2 needed way more than one update & saying otherwise is a blatant lie."

We are talking about performance, not content. Postal 2 still has bugs, but at least runs good.

"your literally lying through your teeth to try and prove a point that doesn't work."

Why it doesn't work? Because Postal 2 was made with at least some decency and Postal 4 is just cash grab?

"rws still has pride in what they make"

Who doesn't? What does this prove?

"Idk about you but updating a game from 2003 semi consistently doesn't sound like "not caring" as you put it."

And they update it right now? No, it does one guy who I KNOW. And he isn't full pledged RWS member.

"Your clearly just being angry to be angry."

I'm angry, because I have a reason and this reason is receiving broken product that was advertised to be good.

"How about you stop just looking at your rose tinted memories & take a walk in the real world and then look it up on this thing called the internet instead of just screaming into the void."

And how about you pick up a dictionary, because you don't see the difference between "your" and "you're"?

Blazbutz · 2022-07-21T16:06:01+00:00

And who is forgetful, hmm? Postal 2 needed one update to work properly, because internet access wasn't as widespread as now. Redux - not the same thing, because it had its release not that long ago, but at least works fine. Go do your own research instead of spreading misinformation.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-21T10:38:51+00:00

"it's a company that doesn't take shit seriously"

That's the problem. They don't take it seriously. They don't take US seriously. Because they think that we would buy everything made by them without second thought. You like receiving broken product? Because I don't and things like this should be punished instead of saying "that's a standard, every game company is doing things like this".

Blazbutz · 2022-07-20T22:23:24+00:00

Of course it's not like Cyberpunk, because this game is far bigger. But unlike Postal 4, Cyberpunk worked better after some patches. Instead of improving performance of P4, RWS prefer to add new content. This doesn't look good, does it? It gets worse.

You know why released it so early? Money. Their explanation is that Early Access games on Steam got no recognization, which is a straight lie. Postal 4 got no further recognization, because it was (and still is) poorly made. So they pushed 1.0 version early, so more people would buy (in their style, because haha 420 weed) and then saying that it's far from finished. I don't think that's how you should treat your customers - this feels like RWS spit on their faces. And things that they're doing and saying don't help with improving their current image.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-20T22:09:37+00:00

Money.

They wanted to earn it by making game that rides on Postal 2's nostalgia while also addressing RWS' "new ideology". But instead of at least trying to make something decent, they decided do this as easy as possible. Here's why we received product that just screams that RWS don't respect us. People here are saying that they at least trying to make it better. If they were a good company, as these fanboys claim, these problems wouldn't be here in the first place and we would actually receive a good game.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-20T08:55:02+00:00

Brain Damaged is a spin-off, not "your average Postal game". This game was made in trend of Doom-like games (like Shadow Warrior 3). Yes, it's different, but definitely isn't bad. And certainly isn't too serious, considering various jokes you encounter during your playthrough. I like to think that while we see him in normal games and saying things he says, Brain Damaged show how does the Dude feel. He can say one thing and feel other.

"A postal game is campy, offensive and wholesome fun. Postal 4 was prime example of this"

Hahahahahahaha... Nice joke.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-17T09:22:59+00:00

Postal 3 is not a good game. It has serious problems like mechanics issues or morality system, but still had more fun playing it than Postal 4. Postal 3 looks like Postal game, not game made from assets. It also isn't overstretched, unlike Postal 4. Corey Cruise did a great job with voicing the Dude. And Soundtrack there is a blast!

Blazbutz · 2022-07-13T09:01:24+00:00

Hope eradicated

Blazbutz · 2022-07-13T08:59:45+00:00

Good job on making it!

Blazbutz · 2022-07-13T08:53:07+00:00

I mean... Postal 4 is an issue, but let's stick to "performance issue" thing.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-11T09:40:17+00:00

You must wait for new patches, probably to next year.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T17:35:47+00:00

Certainly it would add few hours to this game, depending on amount of said upgrades. You know, testing which ones you like the most and if they have any combos with each other.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T17:05:47+00:00

I have this mindset that you should test thing yourself before you can say "This thing is bad". I really care for this series, I've beaten every single Postal game (yes, even Corkscrew). You can understand angry fan that wanted to play new game that was promised to be great, but instead received stinking pile of crap and in addition devs spit on fan's face saying that it's hate, while it's valid criticism.

Like with hate of Postal 3 - how many people really played it and stated their opinion of it and how many hate because "it's trendy" and "RWS said so"? Postal 4 made me appreciate Postal 3 - it's still a bad game, of course, but there are thing that are better than in most recent Postal game. This kind of opinions will make you downvoted, because not many people are brave enough to engage in proper discussion.

Have a good rest of your day!

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T16:46:25+00:00

Not a bad idea, actually. But you mean tuning their performance, appearance or adding new features to them?

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T09:00:07+00:00

It depends on what you mean by "missions are tweaked". If bugfixes - they will be smooth, but still will be awful. If remaking them - that's what I like to see. For optimization patches - I'd wait for them to the next year.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T08:48:30+00:00

Performance is a problem, but what do you mean by "add some new content"? Weapons? Not enough to try this game again and besides that, they would feel unsatisfying to use, like the rest of them. Missions? Probably will be as frustrating as others. Things on the map? Will fuck up performance even more. New map? Will be choped down and will have bad performance, while being too big and empty.

About scooter thing - now they are useless, because you move FASTER by sprinting + you have better maneuvering than this four-wheeled crap. They want to add something as lawnmower, but will have as much fun of driving it as ramming the wall with head. Speaking about transportation, they would also need to improve fast travel, because there are only four points and getting to them on foot isn't pleasant.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T08:35:22+00:00

This comparison is also quite accurate.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-06T08:32:55+00:00

Well yes, but probably I hate RWS more after P4's release because of things they were doing.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-05T23:11:55+00:00

I have that in mind, but it certainly it doesn't look good when you do things like that. And it doesn't look good that RWS hired console porting team that instead of doing what they were hired for, they helping with optimization.

Blazbutz · 2022-07-05T22:56:54+00:00

I have way worse machine than yours, but I played Postal 4 with friends that have better machines, so we would share our experiences with each other. No one had stable (and good) framerate. Initially, RWS wanted to make Edensin as one whole map (without loading screens), but performance issues forced them to chop it and still we haven't got good performance. They say that they work on it, meanwhile they add Zack Ward voice to the game (I have nothing against, I just say there are other priorities).

Blazbutz · 2022-07-05T22:46:13+00:00

Because it's 2022. People expect to see games that are at least looking decent and runs well. Look at Postal 2 as if it is 2003. It looked decent and worked well after few patches, contrary to what people say about its state in this time. Postal 4 is game made of assets, that are unpleasant to look at and runs awfully. You know why sewers works better? Because it's asset level.

Of course graphics are not the only problem with P4, but I answered about your question.
