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.
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
I said that Nazis are not political. I don’t care if and I didn’t state whether you are one or not, but you can’t argue that anti-nazi statements should be disallowed for being political, because Nazis are not within a political spectrum.
In set theory, Nazis are simply not in the set that the rule is describing.
The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.
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.
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.
All they can do is reply Ok while they downvote your valid opinion, because anything else they say will reveal how much it upsets them that people hate nazis and their supporters.
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.
No obsession. It’s just that they’re trying to gain power again, and the whole world already slapped them down for it. As a pacifist, it’s cathartic for me to destroy them digitally while we are still at the point where it’s unnecessary for the global masses to take up arms against them once again.
Company of Heroes gets my vote. I love having a sniper take out a machine gun nest so my riflemen can rotate the gun 180° and mow down wave after wave of Nazi reinforcements.
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.
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
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.
I could have sworn I got some note off one of the hooded corpses that identified them as Raiders, and nothing actually using the actual KKK name, though it’s so obvious from the hoods and the cross that that’s exactly who they’re intended to be
I love the part when you come across that old man who’s house etc has been repossessed and he wants you to go and retrieve some belongings. I initially I felt sorry for him so of course I went and did it, and then you find out he was a slave trader. I completed the quest anyway and liked the cut scene where Arthur just burns everything. Then before I rode away I shot him in the head and laughed when I saw it made my honour go up

MOHAA
Can we not let “politics” infect this community please ?
That being said, Wolfenstein: the new colossus is the one I reccommend
I don’t think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.
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

Ok
Won’t anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol
I’m literally thinking of different ways to kill Nazis…in minecraft
Love me some interrobang
Interrobangs always make it look like the text renderer is bugging out, at least to me.

lolol
Ok
/whoooosh
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.
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.
ALARM! ALARM!
HASTER LISTER! (or what the f they’re saying)
Did you mean “Ein Verletzter!”?
You’re about to crack a decades old question of mine!
But are you sure 😅
I listened to the Commandos voicelines beforehand. So I’m reasonably sure that it’s the vooiceline you meant.
Also a “Verletzter” isn’t a loser, but wounded. Google seems to be drunk and confused again.
Ya, it mixed french and german up in the GUI or something, wounded it is!
Oh, messed up that one:
“an injured person”
Thank you ❤️!
Bear trap on their path, run back to cover.
Well Wolfenstein: The New Order is the other classic to do just that!
Shadowrun: Dragonfall, it’s only for one mission but it’s a really good one.
What is your obsession with nazis?
No obsession. It’s just that they’re trying to gain power again, and the whole world already slapped them down for it. As a pacifist, it’s cathartic for me to destroy them digitally while we are still at the point where it’s unnecessary for the global masses to take up arms against them once again.
Is it warm under that rock?
Peek a bomb, hide and go trip on a landmine, irl frogger, don’t wake der führer, And finally, Candyland Hansel and Gretel edition.
Hide and go seek.
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
Doesn’t it also end with you literally exploding Hitler’s face?
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
Company of Heroes gets my vote. I love having a sniper take out a machine gun nest so my riflemen can rotate the gun 180° and mow down wave after wave of Nazi reinforcements.
Or the 88s in the first mission. BLAM :D
Near the end of the 2nd mission of RtCW you can mow down a horde of Nazis rushing across a bridge with an machine gun. So statisfying.
The Commandos saga. Specially the first one (Behind Enemy Lines).
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.
Pavlov VR, if you are better than the enemy team that is.
Enlisted. It’s kinda terrible but I’m addicted.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
OK hear me out.

Also, if you just watch them they accidentally light themselves on fire.
It also has that one dude on the street in saint denis who
minor side character spoiler
is pushing his eugenics book.
I hogtied him in front of everyone, put him on the back of my horse, rode up to a swamp, and threw him in right in front of a gator
Good times
I save my molotovs for that guy and his books

I loved the way that little discovery wrapped up. His body burned real good.
