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.

    You know Call of Duty started out as killing nazis on the Quake engine. I don’t remember really liking them but it’s there

    This is an old game series, but it was proof that you could put as much blood and gore into a game as you wanted and still get a Teen rating in the US, as long as you’re just killing/dismembering Nazis.

    BloodRayne. There’s a “cheat” to change a few of the visual effects. One makes her put all her weapons where she is actually storing them, and shows the unused weapons at all times. One makes the blood spray levels "more accurate to the actual amount of blood in the human body. The last one just makes her boobs bouncier.

    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.

    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

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

    Can we not let “politics” infect this community please ?

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

      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.

        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

          Here’s a Wikipedia article on the subject. Nazis still exist today (as neo-Nazis) and they desperately want hating them to be a matter of political opinion instead of a matter of humanity. Don’t give them that.

          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
