“as a postal fan it's rich coming from me but this game is so needlessly edgy. it isn't fun. the only real thing i really enjoyed was the executions, and i found myself getting bored really really fast. and i love edge! i love needless…”
“This is bad. I'm sometimes a bit of an edgelord but good god this is egregious, imagine if Postal had no personality nor humour and you'd get Hatred.”
