Caltrops - Postal II





	[quote name="Fussbett"]There is a good <a href="http://www.quartertothree.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3200&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0" target="erik">Qt3 thread</a> on the Gamespot 4.8 rating that Erik gave Postal 2. In <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=7239817" target="george">this thread</a> on ShackNews, George "3D Realms" Broussard said, among many other horrors, that Postal 2 deserved an 8, and... [quote]NO game is worth a 4.8/10. It's unfair and it's biased. And reivewers tty to wield this power. Postal 2 is BETTER than Unreal 2. PERIOD. And Unreal 2 got 75's and higher everywhere. So, fuck biased, unfair reviewers with axes to grind. I don't like ppl trying to make an example of this game. You don't like it? Fine. It's not a 4.8 unless it's a totally buggy piece of shit that's NO FUN TO ANYONE. Postal 2 IS fin to some people. Sorry, lame ass, uppity reviewers piss me off. It can't be a 4.8 then, can it? He "should" give it a 7 or somethign and say "I didn't like it, and it's not for everyone, but it ws stable, good gfx, etc etc etc:" A 4.8 is not warranted at all. That's fucking bullshit and we all know it. And if you don't - shame on you for claiming to be a gamer. [/quote] (compiled from several of George's posts) I like it when he calls out fake gamers. YOU POSER. There is no sense in me mocking Broussard, though, as Erik does a fine job: [quote]I just want to reiterate that Postal 2's load times are a real deal breaker. Some games have long loads, but you at least get to play the game for ten minutes afterwards. P2 honestly loads for a minute, lets you walk for twenty seconds, then starts loading again. Some of the paths to the various goals are set up so that you only walk 3 seconds between loads. The more I think about it, the more I've decided that that's an inexcusable design flaw in a game that's supposed to reward exploration. In any game, actually. I don't care what George Broussard thinks. The subject line of some mail I just got is "Horses cock in girls pussy". So Postal 2 isn't even as offensive as Outlook. [/quote] [quote]Hello. I'd like to once again address the issue of loading. I've said it before, but I wish John Carmack would put curvy surfaces, dynamic lighting, and his amateur moon shot club on the back burner for a year and then figure out a way to eliminate load times. Objectively, I'm sure some game I loaded from tape onto my Atari 400 had longer loads than Postal 2. Subjectively, though, P2 has the most oppressive load times of any game I've ever played. Come to think of it, those Atari games loaded once and then you were done, so Postal may be objectively the worst as well. If George Broussard thinks that's in any way acceptable, then he's even fatter than I thought he was. He needs to get all Snickered up to come in here and do his business. Punk ass, pussy ass, crooked ass cop. [/quote][/quote]
