Aug 8, 2020Definitely better than Hunt Down the Freeman, so it deserves way better score.
-
Apr 23, 2022The game at one time was directly covered in sh*t, but this is not deserved. The graphics in POSTAL III are pretty good, though not outstanding. The plot is delusional, of course, but cool. The game is not as bad as they say.
-
May 6, 2022Giving this a ten because Mike J gets butthurt whenever this game gets any positive attention.

May 2, 2022It's at least better then Postal 4. This game has edgy, offensive humor, and is actually playable from beginning to end.
-
May 5, 2022Better then Postal 4. At least this game makes me laugh and isn't boring as sin.
-
May 7, 2022At least the game is better then the boring dog poop that is Postal 4. Stay mad, Pedro!
-
May 8, 2022I gave this a 10 to help Postal 3 get a higher user score then Postal 4, because that game is a total scam and RWS gets butthurt when you talk positive about Postal 3 lol

Mar 9, 2022I regret nothing. I actually enjoyed this game believe it or not. It's not as good as Postal 2, nor any if it's dlc (except Corkscrew Rules) but it's still a fine game. Offensive as always, and funny as hell. Would reccomend to super fans!

May 8, 2022The only reason people pretend that this game is bad, is because the IP owner RWS started a smear campaign against it because the actual developer of the game was getting the majority of the profits. Don't believe the corporate lies.
-
Jan 31, 2012Postal 3's script makes topical jokes that might have been funny 2-3 years ago (Sarah Palin, War on Terror blah blah) but are now NOT FUNNY. Even the potential comedy of killing Uwe Boll is delivered in a lame ass way. Total Crap.
-
Feb 13, 2012I'm sorry to whoever played and developed this "game". For the majority of the hour I had with this garbage had me shouting to my computer, "WHY AM I PLAYING THIS CRAP". The only person who deserves this games attention is the panda equivalent of Osama Bin Laden
-
Jan 3, 2015I had a chance to play this game for a few hours. It crashed once but I did a windows sfc /scanow and have not had a crash since. The AI is Slightly better then the previous game, The story line is rail road with no free roam but you do get a chance to play through good, or evil which is fun. The graphics, and music are better then Postal 2. It plays much like Duke Nukem Forever, Goofy good time.
-
Feb 15, 2012A game for fools, and nothing more. In Postal 3 there is no one good hand, never knew what this game can bring. I actually have nothing to say, sorry.
Gameplay: 3/10
Graphics: 4/10
Music: 4/0
Dynamics: 5/10
That's it. My personal opinion: the game is not worth your time to it. -

Dec 26, 2011This junk software is one of the worst games ever dared to release. Every aspects of the program is very bad- the controlling, the gameplay, the storyline, the graphics, the programming are all incredibly terrible. I don't know how dared they release a piece of crap like this, but please don't let them earn huge amount of money. Please DON'T buy it!

Dec 29, 2011The Bad - Simply put! BOX OF **** from the goofy looking characters,Dude's new voice,and the fact the game ruins like early beta copy. Akella goofed this **** badly. The Good - Hopefully coming.. Patch yo **** if not..hope the modders have their way with it.
-
Mar 9, 2012Buggy and very poor performance Source Engine that i played so far,i mean.....wth is wrong with RWC? Is this was Akella Fault or just slapped release? Crap,i hate this game....go play Postal 2 instead.
-
Feb 17, 2012Of course the game is **** To understand that you can just watch the trailer. Graphics are awful. And by the way, this game was made by Russians, which explains a lot. P.S. All Postal III metascore reviews could be divided into 2 categories: 0-3 and 10. And I think all 10 score reviews are written by developers.
-
May 7, 2012You know when a game is so stupid and horribly made it's fun? Like, you call your friends over to play said game and laugh about how crappy the game is? This isn't even that. It's just a drab, boring game. Don't even think about getting this game, there's nothing good or fun about it...at all.

May 23, 2012This is the example how a third-party company can ruin everything - style, jokes, game play, all the stuff, if they will have a power. Russia - one, entire world - zero. 1 point for secksy cloth simulation on Source
-
Dec 29, 2011This is not a game - this is piece of buggy code without story and fun. Looks like game was made at two or three month -not 8 years. If You want feel spirit of Postal two play SaintsRaw3.

Feb 21, 2018I am a fan of the saga of postal and the one that I liked the most was to put those comic graphics and with the source engine running with scissors he did his job very well I've been waiting for a sequel to this magnificent game.

Oct 30, 2013I give it 1 point for devs having balls to release this game. Its a complete junk and you will be offended right away. Literally there is nothing good and a lot wrong with it. Dont play it!
-
Mar 1, 2014Not made by Running With Scissors But made by Trashmasters and its third person like grand theft auto really and its a xbox 360 and pc really idiots what are thay thinking
-
Dec 30, 2013this game is average, packed with funny elements and stuff, but they should add some exciting background music and increase the graphics. using a funnier tone can make this game more interesting.

Feb 24, 2015Postal 3 is amongst the WORST games I have ever played. Definitely in the top 5 worst. It's glitchy, it's BARELY functional, unfunny, boring, repetitive and just awful overall. Postal 3 is one of those games worth avoiding.
-
Jun 23, 2014
-
Nov 2, 2019Even RWS is saying to not buy it. So please avoid it as its not good representation of a Postal series.
-
Feb 12, 2021Many people thinks that Postal 3 killed the franchise but it was done by the RWS. Thank you Akella and Trashmasters for the last true Postal game.

Jan 19, 2012i lost interest waiting for the game in 2009, it finally comes out and it feels so unfinished it is borderline unplayable thanks to Dumb AI, laughably bad voice acting and so many bugs that make the game barely any fun to play. The only redeeming quality is that it is funny in places and that's it, simply put it this game isn't worth the 5 year wait or your hard earned cash at all

Aug 3, 2012Somebody asked me would I play this game once again? I just answered not. In my mind to play this game is foolishly. Now I regret I played this. Postal 3 has some sense of humor but it`s too stupid and frankly. If you could spend your time with playing Postal (2003), now it sucks. Just save your 13$ and you`ll be glad.
-
Dec 21, 2011game developers today seem not to have a clue what they are doing
just one examole in this game is the headbob=the screen shake when you move
yeah add more stuff like that because people love headache,nausea and to to feel like a camera not a man in a game
lol they really are pathetic -
Jan 18, 2012I don't understand why people are hating on this game.. Obviously it is seriously flawed with bugs and graphical errors, but over all that, there is still some of that classic postal humor, and it looks pretty nice on the source engine. From me, this game only gets a 7. I would give it an 8 or 9 if they were to implicate free roam and make some bug fixes.
-
Mar 7, 2012I just do not understand why they keep this sh*t up. If you read my reviews for the first 2, you'll know that these games are just stupid jokes. Now they did the same thing, making it even more cliche and annoying. Kind if like a bad dream.
-
Apr 25, 2012Isn't it strange to find some 10's in an ocean of 0's? It makes me wonder if the developers are submitting those 10's, so as to improve their score and influence more to buy the game. The developers are going to go bankrupt for publishing an incomplete idea of a game - do your part and make it happen. Don't buy this game.
-
Jun 14, 2012This game deserves to be buried in Siberia and burned it has some of the most reckless game play ever it has retarded objectives and bat **** controls
-
Apr 21, 2012Full of bugs and too much repetitive sadly, even if it has his own "Fun moments" you should get Postal 2, it's better, sort of, and lowest on price, else just save up for something else.
-
May 19, 2012I can't even believe its a game it some files having some visuals and motion programming .. that's it ..... totally unworthy ..... Screw such developers who dont think atleast twice before developeing the game ............
........... -
Aug 30, 2012This is one of the most awful games I saw. Really king of trash games! Bad graphics and sense of humor. I never stop to wonder what kind of people really like it.
-
Jun 23, 2020Akella **** up this game. Game crashes at some parts and poor AI. Only reason I gave it a 10 because at least it's better than The Last of Us Part II.

Dec 28, 2011Fun game and very brutal game! Unfortunately, not become the blockbuster as hoped! Many crashes, too short, too buggy and bad Performence. Perhaps, is created by einenm patch at least for the remedial power: (
-
May 2, 2012Well,I don't know why people complain.Yes,Postal 3 is a very buggy game,yes it has crap graphics,but it has some crude humor,a cover system and many,many gameplay paths.Unfortunately,it was to brutally received.

Apr 23, 2012Fail to be a shooter and uterly fail at being evil or Funny or creepy. It's not even making any sense, it's bad gameplay and design. Gone are the days of dark humor! It's now offensive for the sake of it. It's not witty or anything, truly a let down from PO2.
Adams familly does beter evil than that! -
Aug 22, 2012The trouble is that everyone expects a lot from this game. I think it is just good, it's not a COD MW 1000 it! Its a great in its own way.Do not expect much from this game.
-
Dec 28, 2011Running With Scissors hits it again! A humor filled, gore packed funride that has tons of gameplay. The game can be played through on a good or bad path which brings tons of interesting happenings to the game.

Jun 19, 2012This is truly an awesome game. this game is a ten out of ten because its whats keeping us from going out and doing this crazy **** in real life. so **** yeah!!!!!!
-
Aug 22, 2013I don't understand why everybody hates this AWESOME game. It IS really violent but that's what lots of people like. Plus this game has a cute dog called "Champ" and he can kill everyone.
I think this game is great!!! -
Jan 26, 2012Funniest game I've ever played!... Lots of fun and brutal moments. Especially in movies. Like it a lot!!! Devs rock! Guys, you probably had to spend a bit more time on bug fix, but you did give me a fun which is worth waiting for the game for so long!
-
Jul 30, 2012Postal III is a fun game but it has lot of issues that keep you from enjoying the game, I would wait for this game to go down in price before you get it. Gameplay is not as good as Postal II but it's still fun and the story is entertaining but the bugs drag this game down. Wait for this to go on sale and then buy it or wait for this game to be patched.
-
Jan 16, 2012I won't say Postal 3 was horrible but I also will not say it was good. The frequent crashing is annoying, the aiming is off, the AI leaves a lot to be desired but at the same time the RWS team still delivers on the humor. I see a future for this game after a couple of more patches and some added content but unless that happens there really isn't much hope for it.
-
Apr 15, 2020The fact that Running with Scissors disowned and distanced itself from this shows how **** this is. Game was made by an outsourced Russian developer instead of original RWS team. I’m waiting for Postal 4: No Regerts.

Apr 9, 2021Все квесты в этой игре скучные и не интересные, а оптимизации вообще нет игра не может выдать 60 стабильных кадров на видеокарте 2016 года. Сюжет полное говно худшая игра в моей жизни.

Nov 13, 2021Игра хороша бы была если бы не эти минусы...
1. Нету открытого мира
2. Задания скучные
3. Вид от третьего лица, но это пережить можно я думаю
4. Очень много багов -
Dec 13, 2021This may be my lowest score here on Metacritic but Postal 3 is just a bad game. It's almost amazing how someone can mess up so bad.
-
Apr 22, 2022this game deserves nothing but hatred. it's extremely buggy and unfinished.

Oct 21, 2022This game was so bad that the company Running With Scissors had to change its developer to a company called trashmaster the game just started on my PC and it closed when I just opened the game and when I loaded the screen it froze.
-
Dec 13, 2022maybe not good enough to buy but a rental would be reasonable enough for this

-
Feb 11, 2023If I could give a game a -1 I would. But I can’t. This game. Is not even a game so why bother?? AKELLA **** RWS in the ass with this one. It’s just janky and obviously awful. RWS sadly has their name attached to this thing if you even qualify this as anything at all. **** this ‘game’ honestly. I’d rather play literally anything else.

Mar 20, 2012Postal III is a disappointment: the game shows a very bad technical realization and little respect for civil and ethical tastes.
-
Mar 2, 2012The uninspired gameplay, incoherent narrative, and off-color humor of Postal III result in a game that has clearly passed its expiration date.
-
Feb 26, 2012If you're going to be offensive, you need a point. This has none, either as satire, commentary, videogame or comedy. [Mar 2012, p.118]
