The only good nazi is a dead nazi. What games are the best for taking them out?

India Jones and the Great Circle was a good start, and I'm considering Sniper Elite VR for the highly detailed nazi carnage. Wondering what other nazi-killing favorites are out there.

I enjoyed return to castle Wolfenstein when it came out and competitively played Enemy Territory for years and even made a mod for it. I have no idea how it would hold up today, however

[-] Demdaru@lemmy.world 1 points 35 minutes ago

Enemy Territory is still very much alive.

In Command and Conquer: Red Alert and it's sequel all the nazis have already been erased from history by Albert Einstein's time machine...

But the USSR in the games conquered Europe and is cartoonishly evil so they're fun to fight.

Call of Duty World at War

You didn't mention what platform but all of the Sniper Elite games are on Gamepass including the literally just released Resistance.

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Metal Gear Solid 3. Close enough right?

[-] PagingDoctorLove@lemmy.world 1 points 48 minutes ago

That game gave me my very first migraine 😂

[-] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Battlefield 1942, especially with the Battlegroup 42 mod.

[-] B312@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Helldivers but only when you kill teammates

[-] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

the various COD Black Ops with Nazi Zombies…

Can we not let "politics" infect this community please ?

That being said, Wolfenstein: the new colossus is the one I reccommend

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago

Killing Nazis in a video game for fun shouldn't be confused with "politics." Doing the same in real life only is because they're a political party.

[-] Probius@sopuli.xyz 29 points 5 hours ago

I don't think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.

What were Nazis then ??

Just pointing out something that, certain Communities should avoid political talk wholesale (Not that I would call those punks politically savvy)

There's a community dedicated to that There's a reason why you all came to Lemmy

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

Won't anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

Love me some interrobang

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

I'm literally thinking of different ways to kill Nazis....in minecraft

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago

The Nazi ideologi is a dictatorship. Dictatorships aren't political. The word political in it's most basic form means "making decisions in a group". A dictatorship doesn't do that. They do participate in democratic politics only because that is the existing system and they want to dismantle that.

"Fight the Nazis" could be a political statement, because it happens within a political system and urges the system to take action politically, but it is not a statement that picks a political side. Both extreme left and extreme right politics should be against Nazis, because Nazis want to destroy all politics, including both sides and everything in between.

So, sure, its a political statement, but it's not a statement that can upset anyone politically.

The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.

So..... you're calling me a Nazi ? Now I get why people want to stay away from politics

While no one disagrees with hating on Nazis, Behaving like one won't gain you any internet points

Most of us here on lemmy want to escape from all those "Political Hobbyists" infecting everything & talk about non-political stuff safely There's an entire community dedicated to political talks

This was the key to his statement and I agree with him.

Video games need to generate acceptable targets. Aliens invading people's homes, PMCs controlled by powerful men, thugs and looters looking to beat up whoever they find, etc.

But it's ridiculous anyone would post "Hey! If aliens did come to our world to take control of our governments, they would be sorely offended by video games about killing them!" On one level because aliens don't exist. On the other because if they were coming to take control of our governments, why would we want to protect or respect them?

Now, replace the little green men with discriminatory, media-controlling purveyors of hate speech. They exist. Everyone sane would rather they didn't. That's all.

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 1/2/3 or however many there are. Granted they're zombies, but still solid

[-] gerbler@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago

I don't know if anything really tops Wolfenstein TNO. Right from the get-go you're running through a trench dual-wielding machine guns and just shredding Nazis like you're mowing grass. Plus you can personally stomp Hitler's face in! 10/10 experience.

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Honestly, never tried the newer Wolfenstein games. This sounds amazing!

[-] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

The New Colossus was released during Trump’s first term and it was really cathartic to play during the shit storm. The game even pissed off the “alt-right.” The New Order and The Old Blood are much better at “endless destruction of Nazis” though.

Might be time to reinstall and play through them again.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago

I came here exclusively to reiterate.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

[-] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

Don't let your dreams stay dreams

Been playing quite a bit of the saboteur lately. Its a great game.

[-] mycelium_underground@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

Real life

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

Well, Machine Games other recent titles are pretty good in that regard, and every other regard.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

What a weird question, just mod nazis into whatever killing game you enjoy the most

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Not the same. That's like killing the actors who played nazis in movies.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

Vs killing the actors playing Nazis in a different game?

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Gonna stray a bit from the other games mentioned here for the sake of adding something unique.

It's not your traditional nazis per say, but the half life series fits quite nicely with this urge. The combine are genocidal, totalitarian, they use shit loads of propaganda, etc. They don't have the looks of it, but they're clearly the nazi type.
