I don't understand how RWS is still in business when they haven't released a game since 2005 (not counting Postal 3 since they didn't even develop most of it). Is it just the owners keeping the name alive?

-Added an option for micro-transactions! you can now buy Champ new outfits for 10 bucks a piece, or pay for a 50 bucks season pass to obtain them all as they become available, before you've even seen what they are.

Just kiddin’, but it’s shows the sad state of the industry when you probably half believed that whilst reading it.

They don't really have the rights or any data for Postal 3 from what I know but instead lately they've been updating and improving Postal 2 quite a bit, various beta patches followed by full releases adding and changing content, not bad for UE2.x really though hopefully whatever legal issues there are regarding the franchise can be worked out and a full Postal 4 sequel created eventually.

Hehe yep, it's pretty cool that they're still updating it. Was a real shame that they had to outsource the third one to a different team, Postal 2 was a little masterpiece in its own sadistic nature xD. I remember them confirming a while back that a 100% in-house sequel would eventually get released, but yeah, the problem is when. (could also be never I imagine, since that was a couple of years ago Razz)

Postal 2 was great back then. But making a DLC just now for such an old game? And no visible graphic improvements?
Either they are VERY desperate for some quick cash, or they just made that DLC as kind of a hobby over the years.
Still, i really doubt they will make any profit worth mentioning

Eleven years after his Apocalypse Weekend escapades, The Postal Dude finally returns!

Paradise Lost is a full-fledged expansion pack for POSTAL 2 continuing the saga of the POSTAL series. Join the Dude as he ventures back into his former hometown embarking on a quest to find his lost dog. Not all is at it seems, as the once tranquil (relatively speaking) town and its citizens have been transformed in the wake of the nuclear destruction. Dare to enter the varied Zones as you cross the Arid Desert, trek through the dense Rainy Foliage, freeze your nuts off in the Nuclear Winter, and roam under the Ashen Skies. Meet the many mysterious factions comprised of the towering, the miniature, the zombified, and everything in between and use your radiant people skills to attempt to ally yourself with their enigmatic leaders, ranging from former child stars to terrifying demonic udder-wielding beasts! Fierce Lawmen, crazed Bandits, deranged Doomsday Survivalists, and a phallic child's toy mascot await. Do whatever it takes to survive! Wait in lines! Use vending machines! Buy toilet paper! Journey to where it all began to rescue your loyal companion!

Prepare to delve into the post-apocalyptic world of Paradise Lost!

Key Features:
  • A complete singleplayer campaign: Brave Monday through Friday with twists and turns each day.
  • Free roam, non-linear, errand-based gameplay: Go do your daily chores or just screw around as you aimlessly run amok in the town!
  • Peaceful vs. Violent decisions: Choose to be a wussy pacifist or wipe out everyone in your way. Hey, it's the apocalypse, so you'll probably fit in!
  • New arsenal and items: Take out some unlucky punks with the Revolver! Enact wasteland justice with the Lever-Action Shotgun! Whack some weeds and perhaps other meatier subjects with the Weed Whacker!
  • Dual-wielding: Double your fun with double the gun!
  • Boss battles: Settle some scores once and for all mano a mano.
  • Full controller support: Piss on strangers from the comfort of your couch!
  • The Dude's original voice: No bogus imposters here!

Eventually I do hope RWS can get enough funding to finally make a proper sequel to this game unless they lost the entire franchise to Akella or who the publisher of Postal 3 was.
(UE4 could work as a replacement for the entirely outdated UE2.x they use now.)

Worth every cent!

Pros
+Whole map is remade + 20% more locations.
+Original Postal dude voice!
+Many new guns, things added.
+New awesome campaign.
+New hud.
+New very useful mini tutorials for players that are new to Postal.
+Really, this game is 12 years old and devs are still updating this game and made a new Dlc for it I just love them! These devs are great sample for all orther developers.

Cons
-Why the heck are you still reading this, JUST GO BUY IT ALREADY!!!

THIS is how you do DLC.

Postal 2: Paradise Lost is more or less a sequel to Postal 2. According to the developers, this is an apology for Postal 3.

The gameplay is simliar, with several new weapons, enemies, and characters to urinate on. The Dude is back in Paradise a few years after the nuclear explosion in the first game. Champ has run off and you begin your journey in search of him. Early on you'll encounter extremist activists, violent Chinese chefs, and rabid dogs that can join you(for a treat, of course). Speaking of animals, cats are still here, and you know exactly what to do with them.

If you played Postal 2, you will recognize many of the locations and be pleased to see how they've been altered in this post-apocalyptic world. The bank is now where PU Games are developed. You will notice right away that Running With Scissors isn't afraid to speak their minds about issues in today's industry.

I've only played a couple hours so far, but I am happy to recommend this to fans of Postal 2. Hopefully, money made through this DLC will be put towards the development of a TRUE Postal 2 sequel.

Now sign my petition.

Well, bought Paradise Lost as it's currently on Steam sale.


The graphics and animations are really bad today. The gameplay itself and the voice acting is pretty though.
I'm not such a graphic whore. But in this case it makes the game less fun to me. Sad

Won't refund it, as it was just ~1€. But i'm not sure if i will play again soon.


A remake of the Postal 2 + this DLC in a modern engine would be wonderful though! Very Happy
