For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis
The Nazis are the most despicable scum to ever walk the face of the earth. Thankfully they were defeated in World War 2 and have…
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.
Anybody make a shoot the evil CEO game yet? I would also accept that.
Very true, but 2009 Wolfenstein isn't underrated. It's exactly correctly-rated.
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
You can tell how fucked things are when this post might upset some “normal” people
25 Nazis seething so far
All media should swing anti-nazi. More movies about killing Nazis, more games about it, etc.
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 is an incredible fun. Feel like replaying it now
Life is a game really.
Something about Luigi?
There is a conversion of Wolfenstein 3D for the ZDOOM. Best way to play the game if you want mouselook and other nice things.
Took me a little while to figure out where to put the .ipk3 file (easiest is ~/.config/gzdoom) but otherwise easy enough to get going using the flatpak version of GZDoom. Installing the regular gamefiles + spear of destiny (from my GOG version) was also pretty easy, but I wonder where one can get Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge 🤔

Either way, good shout, plays excellently, although seems like hitting enemies is harder in this version than the original, at least when they're far away.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi
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.
Saboteur deserves much more love.
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.
In a somewhat similar vein, the remakes of both Halo: Combat Evolved and Bioshock modernized the lighting and in so doing completely destroyed the atmosphere.
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.
"It's a piece of piss"
There’s a lot of things you can do with a hatchet… and a Nazi -BJ Blaskowitz
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!
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.
I was so happy to see a new one on gamepass yesterday. Can't wait to play it.
For no reason in particular, here's a PSA: https://youtu.be/gmiKenqLVAU
Hell Let Loose is decent.
I loveeeeee this game. If anyone else plays dm me for my steam name and you got yourself a good medic.
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!
The Sabateur is a bit rough around the edges as it was the last game pandemic put out before shutting down and they basically ran out of time andmoney. But I still enjoyed it at the time. Just know that you’re basically jumping into an old, clunky assassin’s creed/GTA-like
The driving in that game is absolute ass too lol
Yeah, I know, I've played it a few years ago. Was pretty fun. I've always been into stealth and such games. Commandos 2 and hitman codename 47 being some of my favourite games for kid me.
I was actually surprised to realise that I've played everything on the list except for the Indiana Jones (which I've downloaded but I haven't got around to playing yet) and the captain America games.
Silent Storm is missing on that list.
I have a lot of hours piled on that one. Extremely satisfying ragdoll physics.
Oh my goodness, thank you for reminding me that's in my library.
Mein leben!
FÜR AIUR!
Wait... wrong game.
Hmmpaha!
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.
Commandos is great too if you're the infiltration type.
Damn, I gotta get back to Bloodrayne. Great fucking game! Also, the new Indiana Jones game looks fun af.
