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 2 points 2 days ago

Enemy Territory is still very much alive.

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

Also they corrupted Tim Curry in RA3 so they deserve it.

Sniper Elite lol! Love that damn game. Someone out there had the job programmin nazi-nutsacks, and they took their job serious. Such loving attention to destructive detail. i never once got tired of explodin them in slow motion from 500 yards. What a hero

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Something about slow mo shooting hitlers one testicle with xray vision with a sniper rifle just makes the day seem brighter.

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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.

Aaand it's -75% on Gog. 'Mazing!

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.

I came here exclusively to reiterate.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

[–] B312@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Helldivers but only when you kill teammates

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago

... which is completely normal and tolerated.

The New Order was mind-blowing when I first played it

Red Dead Redemption 2.

OK hear me out.

Sure the game's setting predates the Nazis and there are none to kill in the game. However, there is an entire inexhaustible faction of Confederates to murder. But even better than that, the game gives you several opportunities to stumble on a Klan meeting.

These encounters are special because they're a sandbox for creative butchery and guiltless massacre. Even the game's honor system looks the other way while you toss a gallon of liquor onto the burning cross, dousing the Grand Dragon and all his Cyclopses, sending them in a screeching panic, fully engulfed, off a nearby cliff just like that dude in Lord of the Rings.

Wolfenstein. Any one of them. There has never been a bad Wolfenstein game.

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.

Metal Gear Solid 3. Close enough right?

[–] PagingDoctorLove@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That game gave me my very first migraine 😂

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Why a migraine?

[–] trslim@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

Call of Duty World at War

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 82 points 4 days ago (6 children)

The Sniper Elite series is basically nazi-killing porn. Those won't let you down, especially if you enjoy unplanned testicular detonations happening to nazis of any kind.

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

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Battlefield 1942, especially with the Battlegroup 42 mod.

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 days ago

Return to Castle Wolfenstein VR port by Team Beef. It's amazing.

[–] User79185@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago
[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

the various COD Black Ops with Nazi Zombies…

[–] Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org 46 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Since the Wolfenstein games were already mentioned: The Saboteur

It aged quite a bit, but there are some nice mods to make it look and handle a bit better on Nexus Mods.

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

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Blow out Hitlers ball in Sniper Elite. Can't get better than that really. Or can you?
