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.

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.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes 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...

[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 minutes ago

Steel Division 2 and Hearts of Iron 4.

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

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 13 points 3 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.

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

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

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

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 22 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] threshold_dweller@lemmy.today 8 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 86 points 11 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 2 points 37 minutes 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 16 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 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 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I save my molotovs for that guy and his books

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

[–] Blackmist 11 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 21 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 hours ago

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

Wolfenstein 2009 is underrated

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 11 points 11 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 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 56 points 11 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 8 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 11 hours ago

I personally enjoy the PLANNED testicular detonations a lot more!

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org 33 points 11 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 10 hours ago

I enjoyed The Saboteur.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 3 points 9 hours ago

I'm still sad about Pandemic Studios getting shut down by EA.

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

That game was so cool!

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 9 points 9 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 17 points 11 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 20 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 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 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Taser@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Man, I loved that game (the DOS original)! I don't remember the baddies being Nazis, but it would fit what I do remember from the rest of the game.

Just looked it up (it was originally called "Wolfenstein 3D II: the Rise of the Triad"):

In order to keep as many of the numerous game assets the team had already created from going to waste, Tom Hall came up with a new storyline which still incorporated the Nazi themes seen in the Wolfenstein series, however they would ultimately depart from plotlines involving Nazis, with the final narrative concerning a cult apparently inspired by the Californian folk legend of the Dark Watchers or 'los vigilantes oscuros'.

Neat!

Edit: aw, man, quote your sources, ffs!

Wolf3D straight up

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 8 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] omawarisan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 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

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] fargeol@lemmy.world 6 points 10 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 6 hours ago

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

[–] BusyBoy@lem.to 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

The Commandos saga. Specially the first one (Behind Enemy Lines).
