POSTAL Redux ((HOT))
After raiding the Air Force Base, he is shown attempting to massacre an elementary school. Despite his best efforts, his weapons have no effect on the children. Suffering a mental breakdown amidst innocent laughter, he finds himself restrained in a mental asylum as hellish images cover the screen: A body bound to chains in a corridor, the protagonist in a straitjacket curled in the fetal position; a close-up of his face (albeit covered by bindings) and the door to his cell numbered 593. A disembodied voice, possibly a psychologist, gives a report on the protagonist's mental state: He suggests that the stress of urban life may have been the root cause of his rampage, prompting him to "go postal". The lack of any mentions of military interference with the civilian population strongly implies that the Postal Dude's murders were the result of his own paranoid delusions. Amid distorted audio, the psychologist gives a final remark: "We may never know exactly what set him off, but rest assured we will have plenty of time to study him". Upon completion of the credits, manic cackling can be heard as the screen fades to black. It is suggested that the protagonist may have escaped the confines of the asylum to pursue further acts of violence.
POSTAL Redux
Due to the controversy surrounding the game's release, along with numerous, unrelated American school shootings in the years following, the 2016 redux of the game's ending has been changed. Replacing the elementary school vision is the player witnessing the burial of an unknown person in a decaying field, though it can be implied that it is his own. Completion of the game on the hardest difficulty features the inclusion of an unknown male and female mourning over the grave as it descends. Both outcomes prompt a similar mental breakdown and an identical asylum cutscene, though consisting of animated shots over the original release's still image artwork.
Crazed gunmen out for your blood await you around every corner. The only choice is clear: Get them before they get you. Fight back with a devastating arsenal as you make your way through a violence-stricken town. It's time to relive the madness of going postal!"
Because the voice over work is cheesy, you have cowboys with rocket launchers and bald miners chucking TNT at you, you blow away nudists at a resort, and you go crazy at a convince store because they don't sell POSTAL. The Christmas patch lets you blow away Santa, the Redux throws in killer clowns with balloon machineguns and even a Blood reference. It's dark and disturbing but it doesn't take itself seriously at all.Not to mention the whole shooting spree starts because his home gets repossessed due to an error in escrow filing and believes it to be a grand conspiracy involving the government and mind control and demons and all sorts of crazy shit. He starts shooting people all because someone made a dumb mistake and he's a bit of a paranoid delusional. That's pretty darkly humorous if you ask me. ://www.gopostal.com/press4.htm 041b061a72
