    Running 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.

    Actually i bought and played this game. In my opinion I'd give it a 7, or a 6.5 its a fun game. I'm really in to the humor mostly, the characters Champ and Dude really got me hooked in, I'm a stupid person, and I can relate in some aspects. So as for the controls, theres lots of glitches, game crashes, AI gets in my way, sometimes its hard to punch/pour gasoline, graphics are outdated(ButActually i bought and played this game.

Although the animations can be cheesy, the scenery of the map makes up for it in most cases. So should you buy it? Up to you, in my opinion if your a postal fan YES. If your new to postal, wait for the price to drop to 30 before you even consider buying. So in the end as for a fan - 7/10 (8 if the glitches were totally removed). And for any gamer 5.7/10. Its fun.
    -Quick edit, if you are looking for a hardcore serious game, look elsewhere this is for people with a good sense of humor. I'm only giving it 10 here just so i can get the rating up a little    … Expand

    Fail 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!

    The 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.

    I 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!!!

    I 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.

    Postal 3 по скринам, мне показалась неплохой игрой, и когда я её купил в стиме, я в очередной раз убедился, что на самом деле крутым играм, очень сильно занижают оценки.
    Возможно меня сейчас заплюют, но для меня Postal 3, такой же постал, как и прошлые части, то бишь, играем за парня, который любит гулять со своей собакой, убивать людей, жить без правил и вообще творить вокруг хаос.

    Возможно меня сейчас заплюют, но для меня Postal 3, такой же постал, как и прошлые части, то бишь, играем за парня, который любит гулять со своей собакой, убивать людей, жить без правил и вообще творить вокруг хаос. Каждый постал отличается от прошлых или будущих, например:
    Postal 1 - Игра с видом сверху, где стреляешь по врагам:) (чуточку похожа на Alien Shooter)
    Postal 2 - Уже неплохой ход разработчиков, игра была сделана уже от 1 лица и город, как я понял, должен передавать атмосферу Техаса. В игре появился открытый мир, больше чёрного юмора, и конечно же, больше жестокости.
    Postal 3 - Эту же часть сделали люди, которые больше хороши по локализации игр, но не в разработке (думают многие)
    Akella сделали хорошую игру, я не понимал в чём проблема, она, как и прошлые посталы, со своей изюминкой, например, 3 лицо.
    Прочитал отзывы и многие жаловались на:
    1. Кривое управление!
    2. Много багов!
    3. Ужасная оптимизация!
    4. Озвучка калл!
    5. Задания фанфик карапуза!
    И финалочка
    6. ШУТКИ УЖЕ НЕ ТЕ И ЧУВАК УЖЕ НЕ ЧУВАК!
    И так...
    1. Для меня управление хорошее и никаких проблем с этим я не встречал. Поэтому это бред!
    2. Я прошёл игру 3 раза (стим версия) и я встретил, только 1 баг, а именно, лаги с озвучкой и всё! Больше ничего не заметил. Поэтому это тоже бред!
    3. А тут уже есть частичка правды, у меня компьютер мощный, но игра у меня в некоторых моментах, фпс опускался до 10-20, что не очень приятно. Поэтому это правда!
    4. Не согласен, когда я смотрел кат сцены, для меня их монтаж, дал такую атмосферу некого сериала, и озвучка Кураша, отлично подходит для игры. Поэтому это бред!
    5. Задание как задание. Постал никогда не хвастался своим крутым сюжетом. И почти для каждого задания, были сделаны отдельные карты, что довольно-таки круто! Задания там, ещё напичканы с довольно-таки эпичными перестрелками, чтоб не было скучно. Поэтому это всё-таки бред!
    6. Вы собственно о чём? Я узнал родного нам Чувака и его шутки также узнал! Поэтому это точно бред!
    Также в игре много нового оружия, которое неплохое довольно-таки, неплохо сделаны локации, про расчленёнку не забыли, она там сделано неплохо.
    Поэтому, Postal 3, игра, которая незаслуженно упала по оценкам вниз.    … Expand

    I 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!

    Это игра с крайне печальной судьбой. Я не стану здесь писать, что к чему, ведь за 11 лет существования игры все все знают и все прекрасно понимают. Я пишу этот отзыв, чтобы разбавить шквал негативной критики своим оптимизмом.
    Конечно, это игра не на 10 из 10. Объективная оценка около 4-6 из 10. Чтобы приблизиться к этому значению, я пишу отзыв сразу на максимальную оценку.    Это игра с крайне печальной судьбой.

    The 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.

    The 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.

    I 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.

    Everything I love and hate about Postal 2 is still here and it's a completely new and streamlined experience.. Especially to me, because I just played it. I've never noticed it before because RWS didn't have the spine to back it up and keep it in their profile.

    Everything I love and hate about Postal 2 is still here and it's a completely new and streamlined experience.. Especially to me, because I just played it. I've never noticed it before because RWS didn't have the spine to back it up and keep it in their profile.

    It looks good, it sounds good and it just as clunky, broken, and weird as Postal 2 with the only exception being that it's completely on rails and the ride is good! The intro is twisted, nice, and funny, first 30 minutes is spot on with the wisecracking wacky adventure and sloppy combat and with the third person view it's a lot messier. All good!! Ten hours have gone in dreamland without interruption.

    It's really odd to talk about what POSTAL is. The first one was a fugly isometric horror of the worst kind. The second one was clearly an Adventure with some sloppy action slabbed on, but with a great narrative and wisecracking edge that totally redeemed it. The third one, this one, is a streamlined Action Adventure with the same wisecracking edge and I love it. So far each game has been quite different and that's really nice, but it with have been much nicer if they had all been like Postal 3.

    But... This being that clunky Source Engine that is literally drowning in misguided Convars needs a little bit of smothering help to keep that smooth fps up and also because all those bodies seriously detract from performance and stability, the game is literally drowning in crap without the cleanup:

    In the folder: steamapps / common / Postal III / p3 / cfg /

    Edit these two lines in autoexec.cfg and set them to:

    g_ragdoll_maxcount 8
    g_ragdoll_important_maxcount 8

    I played it from SSD in Windows 10 Pro (v2004) with an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM, and a GTX 1650 Super 4 GB. I had one odd Script "crush" that the Source engine couldn't handle, but that's it, sort of, the game really doesn't like to be minimized and had a tendency to stop responding in that state. But then again, this is concentrated POSTAL and you only need a few hours a day of it, surely you can figure out to play or quit without having to keep it in the background, eh? No problemo!!    … Expand
