10 Video Games That Missed Out The Money Shot

The Postal franchise is an almost impossibly edgy exercise in bad taste, and developers Running with Scissors have never seen a lewd or tacky moment they didn't want to lovingly linger upon.

That is, except, for an insane feat of animal slaughter in Postal 2's Apocalypse Weekend expansion pack, where players are tasked with carrying out some "pigeon relocation," using a rocket launcher of all things.

Just as the Postal Dude is handed the rocket launcher and the mission appears to start, however, the scene abruptly cuts to a video clip of one of the game's producers, Vince Desi.

Desi angrily insists that he doesn't have enough money to put a pigeon mission in the game, and so we cut back to the mission with a title card informing players that said mission has been cancelled "due to budgetary issues."

We then transition back to the Postal Dude, who having just carried out his pigeon massacre off-screen is surrounded by buckets of gore and pigeon feathers falling to the ground.

To rub salt in the wound, he even says out-loud, "Wow, that was the most incredible thing I've ever done."

Though the "deleted" mission seems like more of a tongue-in-cheek joke than anything, the game's lead designer Rikki D'Angelo later confirmed that it was originally intended to be fully implemented yet was ultimately cut for unspecified reasons.
