It's been a long, long, long, long, long, loooooong time coming, but Running With Scissors has declared that the third installment in its controversial shooter series, Postal 3, is nearing the end of its development cycle.
"It’s in the final stages in Moscow, I don’t think it will come out this Christmas," says a rather curt Vince Desi.
Despite the game's lengthy development, and Postal's reputation as a not-very-great series, I've been waiting patiently to give Postal 3 a go. By now I fear the game will be rather out-of-touch and attempt to be "controversial" by the standards of the nineties, thus making itself look rather dated and tragic, but the prospect of fighting with a badger in a harness is too damn tempting to pass up.
I certainly wish Postal 3 all the best. I just hope it's evolved past "Isn't shooting people funny?"

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
It hasn't.
While Postal might not be the greatest game, I at least applaud RWS for not bending over to masses and making a game that isn't afraid to offend the shit out of everyone. It'll be fun to see what California does when this game is released.
Say what you want about Postal 2 being stupid or ugly, but there was fun to be had in that game. You just have to get over yourself to unlock it.
Mountain out of a mole hill? Probably. Will I be pwning with the badger-saw? Most definitely. :)
Ditto on the portal comments.
