Why is there such a fuss about these games. All they are about is beating up people and killing them
What is so good about a game when the story is to beat up people, how original is that?
I just can't see why some people are so obsessed that they go out and buy a Playstation 2 just for the GTA games. It is just an excuse for an obscene amount of violence, I don't care but I think it is over the top. It is hardly surprising that video games get such a bad reputation of being "unethical" with games like this around
I am not someone who minds about violence in video games but you have to be really sick/twisted to appreciate setting a cat on fire while feeding it (Courtesy of Postal 2). It is just a bit sad that developers can make games that rely soley on violence that ACTUALLY impress the public.It may not be the general opinion of the "public eye" but I just do not see the appeal of these games. I am not lecturing fans of the series(s) only asking what do people find so fascinating?
Postal 2 is just tto sick for me with the puke/blood effects. i have played GTA3 and GTA:Vice City at my mates house and it was good, but I can't imagine spending by hard earned cash to go out and actually buy it.It was quite fun only I really wouldn't buy a Playstation 2 just for this series as it is just too boring/similar.
Also all the missions on GTA 3 seem to feature some explicit thing or beating up some random person. It isn't my PERSONAL taste. There are some exceptions, though , with that remote controlled car mission thing and some "insane stunt bonuses".
They are not expensive, which I suppose is a kind of a lure. GTA3, GTA:Vice City and Postal 2 are hugely popular but this could be an element of sheep, following the crowd or looking cool.
Postal 2 isn't funny to me but some people seem to find this "adult" humour very amusing.
Anyway, not to preach or change your' opinion, just wanted to know what you like/hate about them and if they appeal to your taste(s)

I've got to disagree about what you're saying about Postal 2.
It is, if you'd actually played it, a very clever game indeed. The comedy and humour throughout it is extremely well thought out.
And, as Running With Scissors, Postal 2's developers, said, it's only a game. It's not real life.
"...Postal 2 are hugely popular but this could be an element of sheep, following the crowd or looking cool"
So why did *you* buy it then? If you knew what it was about, and knew you disliked this particular genre, why buy it?
Ok, maybe you didn't buy it.
But in that case, how can you make these claims?
And don't say you borrowed it or something, because you could easily have just given it back when you didn't like it.

Fair enough

I personally found the GTA games quite boring. I played Vice City for about a week and became very disinterested in it after a short time. I persisted with it for a while, but mindless violence just didn't hold my attention.
With you statement of "little kids" being replaced with "morons over the age of 18 with minds the size of toddlers" and I agree with what you said, ph11ip
Sounds like you've gotta be a sad little sh*t to enjoy Pos**tal 2.
GTA games are fine, as the limit is really jus**t shotting people. Nothing that you don't see in a FPS...
Pos**tal 2 however seems to take it too far. The developers are jus**t cashing in on little kids thinking, "Oooooh, lets get it..."
Sad.

If you like that sort of thing...then you may find it interesting that you can knock peoples heads of with a shovel, urinate on people and douse people in kerosene, set them alight and put them out with your own puke
Diiiiiiisguuusting!

By the way - I hadn't heard of postal 2, but looking at the reviews I like the sound of it.
I do not make anything of your tastes as I have stated my personal interests and I asked specifically for your opinions.
It does relieve stress though.
