The Sniper Elite games are a gift to this world because they understand that the only thing more satisfying than shooting a Nazi in the balls is watching the bullet tear through their tiny tesitcles in glorious slow motion x-ray vision.

Too dam right.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They even gave Hitler one testicle. It may or may not be accurate depending on what you read, but it's still hilarious to shoot Hitler in the nuts and when the X-ray kicks in he's only got one nut to begin with.

You even get an achievement for it!

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Not a big achievement guy but that one I will remember with pride haha.

[–] StarshotJohn@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I was so happy to see a new one on gamepass yesterday. Can't wait to play it.

There is PvP in Path of Exile 2 and at least one known Nazi player. Go ahead and kill him when his Boosting Ground worker is off the clock.

Hahaha, love this!

25 Nazis seething so far

This is the first game list article where I've read anything beyond the titles of the games. And it was worth it. Thanks for the share and the great list!

There’s a lot of things you can do with a hatchet… and a Nazi -BJ Blaskowitz

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago (3 children)

All media should swing anti-nazi. More movies about killing Nazis, more games about it, etc.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 18 points 4 months ago

And specifically to make sure the reality of Nazis are shown. Like in the literature you find in the newer Wolfenstein games, the stuff is shines a light on how stupid the Nazi 'scientific' mentality really was.

Saboteur deserves much more love.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Saboteur is one of those games I'm afraid to replay because I have such vivid memories of it being really fun and I don't want to lose that.

I already somewhat ruined Morrowind with modern hardware doing distant rendering. Back in the day Morrowind had perpetual fog and you couldn't see far, so all the places felt so far apart. It felt like a journey going from Vivec city to Ebonhart. But modern hardware has no problem with distant rendering and now I can see that I could spit from Vivec City to Ebonhart. It's no longer a journey, it's just an annoyance because "it's right there". The magic of traversal is lessened because things no longer feel like they're far away.

And that's what I'm afraid of, that some illusion of Saboteur gets shattered and with it the game will also feel lesser than it was.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just played it for the first time 4 months ago and it still holds up incredibly well. The art direction definitely helps cut down on the expanded rendering capabilities of modern PCs. While you'll still have some reduced resolutions of distant landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, you'll barely notice it as the distance is often covered by buildings, trees, hills, Nazi fortifications, and so on.

That was such a fun game. Little asexual me didn't care about the nudity, but the black and white aspect before liberating an area into color was such a cool Gimmick.

Saboteur is an incredible fun. Feel like replaying it now

Do I seem to recall one of the creators of Wolfenstein once went to an interview and asked something to the effect of "What happened to America? Since when killing Nazis became 'problematic'?". Several years ago, maybe over a decade. The US was given a warning and they didn't listen.

For no reason in particular, here's a PSA: https://youtu.be/gmiKenqLVAU

Anybody make a shoot the evil CEO game yet? I would also accept that.

In Cyberpunk 2077 the major antagonists are the corporations, although the game is not as punk as the name would suggest as you spend spend about the same amount of time working for them, or even for the police or government.

Ok now where are the mods to add elon musk's face to one of them?

[–] omega_x3@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been playing a bunch of Indiana Jones lately and keep finding myself going out of my way to kill every Nazi and fascist I come across even going out of my way to backtrack and get a few.

2025 the year where you will probably get arrested when you talk about killing Nazis.

Silent Storm is missing on that list.

I have a lot of hours piled on that one. Extremely satisfying ragdoll physics.

Once upon a time, before the Nazi killing was reserved for online lobbies, Call of Duty had games take place in World War 2.

They come out swinging, huh

Nice

An unmentioned kinda out-of-the-box thing is Garry's mod (gmod). Pretty sure there are downloadable models and/or skins for nazis, and you have a ton of tools for fucking them up in the most spectacular ways possible. There are mods for gibbing, better blood and bulletholes and stuff like that. Make Rube Goldberg machines ending in splattered nazis, strap them to rockets, build mediaeval torture devices etc. The fucking up nazi possibilities are endless!

There is a conversion of Wolfenstein 3D for the ZDOOM. Best way to play the game if you want mouselook and other nice things.

Been watching Band of Brothers (then of course the sequel, The Pacific) and gameplay from The Darkness for this very “no particular reason”. The Darkness feels more cathartic.

Commandos is great too if you're the infiltration type.

Now wouldn't it be very funny if someone played those A LOT and get a little disconnected from reality and started killing Nazis for real? Just saying.
