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.

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

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Metro 2033 and Last Light.

But those are the only games I have with nazis in them.

Well... There is that one nazi in Killing Floor 2...

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 18 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

There has never been a bad Wolfenstein game.

"Hell Yeah, Dude" the game would like a word with you.

Hearts of iron 3 and 4, Wolfenstein gets a bit lost in glorifying their aesthetic but is very fun

[–] sith@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

Steel Division 2 and Hearts of Iron 4.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Bionic Commando. Love love love to shoot Hitler in his doughy, laughable master race face with a rocket launcher through the window of a fucking helicopter as I fall past it.

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Can you shoot the other one too? Y'know, the one that's in the Albert Hall

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 90 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

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.

Evey time I run into the RDR2 version of the KKK (Lemoyne Raiders?) I get so giddy and happy that I get the opportunity to find a new, creative, fun way to kill them all.

Probably favorite is to hogtie the ones I can keep alive, toss all the live and dead ones into a single pile, then light it on fire

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

Lemoyne Raiders aren't the Klan. There's actual klansmen too. You have to find them at night in the woods near Lemoyne, but they're never associated with the raiders.

[–] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 17 points 13 hours ago

Also, if you just watch them they accidentally light themselves on fire.

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It also has that one dude on the street in saint denis who

minor side character spoileris pushing his eugenics book.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I save my molotovs for that guy and his books

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 14 hours ago

Honestly still is. Best FPS since HL2. Love the cutting tool.

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 22 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Loved both of the newer ones. Great story and Nazi killing

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 14 points 16 hours ago

+1 for both new wolfensteins. so rare for both the action and the story in a game to be top notch

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

all 3 of em!

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 13 points 15 hours ago

Wolfenstein 2009 is underrated

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Even setting aside all of the gore and cruel executions, BJ's growling inner commentary is a great mood-setter for that game.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, the two-pack on PSN is only $7.50 right now. I think I'll pick it up.

I grow fat on all those chicken dinners on the original.

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 24 points 13 hours ago

Well Wolfenstein: The New Order is the other classic to do just that!

[–] threshold_dweller@lemmy.today 9 points 11 hours ago

All time gotta be Wolf ET. No contest. Then BF1942. And my first love RTCW

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 57 points 16 hours ago (2 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.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

The new entry in the series drops today, my nerd herd plans on doing the co-op campaign this weekend. I played SE4 and had a blast mixing WWII with the stealth aspects of Assassins Creed (the old ones where Ubisoft wasn't just phoning it in).

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 10 points 16 hours ago

I personally enjoy the PLANNED testicular detonations a lot more!

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago

Real RTCW is available on steam for free with a bunch of user-made campaigns (+ other mods) on the workshop, too!

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 13 hours ago

Brutal Wolfenstein is a great mod for GZDoom (and free with freedoom). Imagine the original wolfenstein but you get to stain the walls with the blood of nazis. The difficulty is significantly increased, weapons hit harder, and everything is better.

[–] Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org 34 points 16 hours 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.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago

I enjoyed The Saboteur.

Nazi zombies, it shows them as the monsters they really are.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

The original monochromatic Castle Wolfenstein, blowing up Hitler with my buddy and his grandfather who lost family in the camps in Poland will always be a fun memory.

[–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 19 points 16 hours ago

The first BloodRayne game (after the intro level, which is plain bad and almost nazi-free) sees a lot of bitten, shot, dismembered, burned, possessed and exploded nazis.

Honestly the gameplay is a bit clunky even for its time, but if what you need is dead nazis then it very firmly ticks the box.

Also remastered: BloodRayne: Terminal Cut

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (3 children)

Commandos!

The one by Eidos, where there are "vision triangles" and you have to slowly take out a whole ton of nazis before terminating your objectives in each level.

My favourite is the Beyond the call of duty one.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein (2009) for FPS.

Otherwise Company of Heroes (any of the three).
Exploding Nazis is just so much fun :D

[–] CrunkBy@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Lately I've been playing the Rise of the Triade remake, I'm a retro kind of old guy anyways.

Any game where you can do a texture replacement and fix all of the enemies to have elon's face

[–] fargeol@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Bionic Commando

It's about an army of neo-nazis trying to resurrect Hitler

It's a platformer but you can't jump in it, only use a grappling hook

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Doesn’t it also end with you literally exploding Hitler’s face?

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Wolf3D straight up

[–] omawarisan@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Zombie Army Dead War 4

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Army_4:_Dead_War

You don't only get to see nazis that are already dead, you can tear them into pieces again and again... It's really super fun

Hearts of Iron 4 is also fun. You can take on the entire third reictb
