20 Video Game Sequels NOBODY Defends
17. Postal III (2011)
Look, no one is going to claim that the Postal franchise is some holy relic of gaming. It's not. It's a simple, chaotic sandbox series that lets you engage with dark humour and violence, if you so choose. The games aren't even that good, but they're fun enough to have their fans.
That said, even the low standard established by the previous games was blown out of the water by the trash fire that was Postal III.
To put it plainly, this game barely worked. That's saying a lot, given the previous titles were hardly known for their technical prowess. This threequel was janky as hell and hardly even playable at times, with the threat of sudden crashes following you the whole way through. A lot of this could be attributed to the devs, Running with Scissors, outsourcing the game to a dodgy Russian company, Trashmasters (how fitting).
Even when the game wasn't broken, it was just boring. It was a generic third-person shooter with an overabundance of terrible escort missions and edgelord humour that didn't land. Most fans, and even the devs, like to pretend this one never happened.
