A Belle Delphine reference in 2025? Tells a lot about how shitty the humor of this game must be.

Postal's had shitty reddit humour ever since paradise lost. Atleast 3 was just a bad game now every Postal game is either mid or just as bad but with outdated, millennial, r/pewdiepie humour. Like the incredible bulk vs modern marvel movies.

I never understood why they called these games "boomer shooters"
Boomers were the ones against these games when they first came out because of muh video game violence

Because boomer means old and rhymes with shooter.

I bought paradise lost expecting the same amount of SOVL that the original Postal 2 had but it just wasn't there

Shooters are awful games in of themselves. There's only so much one can do with the genre before it turns into something else entirely. The movement seen in CoD: Advanced Warfare is as far as you can push the genre until it becomes a glorified 3D action platformer with a gun thrown into the mix.

TRVTHNVKE: any modern "retro" shooter is not retro but a basdummyization of what made the old games good. They put shitty graphics because it's like MUH HECKIN' OLD GAMES and are just generally boring. What made old games good is what they did with what they had at the time and how pure the games were without all the coal microtransactions or cutscenes. Old games had shitty graphics because they had to and they were made for CRT monitors which kinda smoothed it out. If you play modern "retro" games that just try to completely replicate how old games look and played instead of making something unique then you're a soyboy

the only acceptable thing in my opinion is playing mods of said old games

the guy who made Insurgency also made Red Orchestra, literally 2 best "fast paced but realistic" fps games of all time

The only experience I have with boomer shooters is I really wanted to become an author a long time ago and came up with a story about some kids that went missing and got trapped in one but then I realized that I just wrote an Isekai and stopped pursuing my former dreams

A for Allied Assault.

(the whole soundtrack is full of gems btw. it's the same guy that made score for the incredibles, up, star trek reboots and a ton more.)
