Fallout 4 is a bag of mixed feelings for me personally. As a Fallout game, it falls flat on it's face and hard.
However it's still a very addictive open world game and just wandering and exploring post war Boston.
They got some stuff right with it. Guns work wonderfully and it feels much better than either of the previous
iterations in the series since Bethesda took over. Power armour was the most badass thing, but the downside
to this was the damn suits were bloody everywhere. Still, the way you get into the suit just felt so proper and
how it should have been all along. Definite gold star for the badass department on that aspect. Another
downside to power armour was this new T-60, which looks almost like T-45. It's annoying because T-51 is
meant to be the best outside of the Enclave stuff and now it's not. Oh and Enclave armour is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
everywhere once you get to a certain level! That's supposed to be Enclave exclusive and I can find it in
pre-war ruins. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The story was like, ehh, more of the same Fallout 3 crap: find missing family member. I don't think
Bethesda's writers will ever come up with something original anymore. The forced backstory to your
character was a massive kick in the nuts, but we can thank the decision for voice acted protagonists for that
crap. Companions are enjoyable for the most part, except like 2, in my opinion. The faction stuff was bull really,
a terrible attempt to copy New Vegas and they did it so badly at that. The story is much better in Far Harbour if
you decide to get that. I really enjoyed the twists in it. Nuka World is a downgrade from that again writing wise,
but is fun if you stick it out with the raiders.

The world is well designed and fun to explore, as is to be expected in a Bethesda game. No major complaints, but
I do wish there was more greenery starting to come back into the world, way more pre established settlements
not in any way including the ones you set up. For a lot of the game it's just fricken Diamond City. But I definitely
spent a lot of time wandering and I doubt I've seen everything, even in my 227 hours. Far Harbour was great in terms
of world design. The never ending fog made it all so much more creepy and that. Really loved the hell out of it. Nuka
World was good for the most part, but a lot of empty space surrounds the main attraction with bugger all to see most
of the time. So that was a bit of a disappointment really.

The improvement in graphics is a huge step up from the last two games. It definitely makes it easier to play 4, but harder to go back to 3 and New Vegas. Although of those I'd probably only go back to Vegas and would love to get it on this
newer version of Creation, then I'd never stop playing it.

Overall it's an absolute mixed bag that I still managed to enjoy. There's a lot I left out because of spoilers or whatever, but I still enjoyed the hell out of the game enough to clock over 200 hours in it, so it ain't all bad. I'd say get it if you want, but don't expect anything as good as New Vegas for story or roleplay. If you're creative and don't mind the settlement
crap, I'd say add that to your reasons to give it a bash. If you're a real stickler on deciding, get the thing on sale.

Paradise Lost is the long awaited continuation of the Dude's adventures. While yes there was a Postal 3, apparently it was so bad that Running With Scissors literally consider it to be a spin-off. It's not something I'll go in to the "why" on.

Paradise Lost continues the Dude's story 11 years after his previous outing at the end of Apocalypse Weekend. It follows the same formula as the base game, but this time it has a main overall goal: find Champ. Some time over 11 years, Champ goes missing and it's up to the Dude to go and find him, back in Paradise, which has changed quite a bit over the years. The Dude meets some new faces and some old, and even some whose face we never knew, as he tackles another weird and violent week.

This addon is all you could want and more for a proper continuation of the Dude's story and features an interesting adventure to save his best friend. With more weapons and other various items, it's certain you'll have more enjoyable ways to wreck havoc once more in Paradise. I'd highly imagine that this time a passive run would in fact be more difficult (or perhaps a tad easier) for reasons I'll let people find out on their own, but it is still a load of fun. The original Dude voice is back with new and old lines and I think the graphics are up to the best this aged engine can offer.

RWS are developers that care about their fans and want to give them the best experience possible, and they pull it off with flying colours. I was not sure where they could take this, but I love what they did and they did not disappoint in any way. I hope they go on to continue the saga of the Postal Dude or even go on to make something new. Whatever they choose, I think it's a safe bet to say I'll be supporting them once more.

Again, I recommend getting this for whatever you can spare while my reasons for not getting it remain the same as my Postal 2 reasons. But seriously, if you can, give it a go! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If not, well then there's plenty of other stuff to play.

Note: no idea why it says I've played 0 hours, but I guess it's shoved in with Postal 2 gameplay time. Rest assured I have played this, but steam is being weird.

Postal 2 is an enjoyable game in which you can carry out the tasks of a week from either Monday to Friday, Monday to Sunday or just the apocalyptic weekend, depending on what mode you play. Despite dated graphics, Postal 2 is definitely a loveable game that allows the player to be as violent as they please. You can even try being completely passive, I'd imagine it's difficult, but they say it's doable.

Running With Scissors took a simple idea of doing tasks for your wife and made a game out of it, and did it very well. It is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, but I confess I've yet to get my lazy ass to play everything again. Regardless, the game is immensly enjoyable for those who like the humor in it and the ever lovable voice of Rick Hunter, as the beloved Postal Dude, really nails his lines in a perfect manner.

Even more fun is that you can see the game devs themselves on the first day, and you can pass through their offices on your travels. And as an added bonus, they often aid you in combat. So with a large array of weapons (including the ability to piss everywhere), you'll find many creative ways to kill enemies, cops or innocent bystanders as you try to make it to the end of each day.

I'd recommend buying this game at any price, either full retail or on sale, as it is good fun and the developers deserve whatever you could give. But if you are somewhat easily offended, don't like the violence, don't like dated grahics or you are a plain old buzzkill, don't bother getting it. It wouldn't be for you.
