What are your favorite games for killing nazis? (lemmy.world)

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 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.
