Something about those awkward hand gestures really gets me going.

I'd love a new Wolfenstein-style game that diverges from the simple divide of giving them helmets.

It's simple morbid truth that these people are human beings, who have committed their minds to unimaginable cruelty. It'd be fun to have more games about reciprocating that cruelty.

Mortal Kombat's fatalities gave me a big ick factor when they leaned into cruelty and pain (and thankfully turned towards looney creativity to be entertaining). But I could see the former being a bit more valid when there's universal reasoning behind why it's being applied.

Also Sniper Elite 4 and 5, and The Saboteur. The Saboteur has boobies and we can all agree on boobies.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I just looked it up, very positive reviews and very cheap. No mention of boobies in the feature list but it has this:

Key features:

  • First Ever Open-World Paris

Thank god, FINALLY someone did it.

the campaign is really cool in coop btw.

[–] cccrontab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

The Saboteur shows only as single-player in the description. Does it really support co-op?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I've had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

[–] kaosof@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago

I've been punching nazis and Italian fascists (as well as shooting, crushing skulls with heavy objects, blowing them up etc) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle since around christmas.

It's a great time.

"No reason"

They're nazis, friend! That's all the reason we need!

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 hours ago

Someone is going to release a Trump administration reskin and it's going to be spectacularly popular.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah absolutely, really itching to just bash the first smarmy fascist I see.

In minecraft, y'know?

Waiting for Sniper Elite blow Elon's balls off DLC

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 8 hours ago

Why not LARP it?

I'd LOVE to hear the explaination from the 1 downvote.

Playing devil’s advocate here. It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.

Edit: I feel like I should probably add that I do not agree with this ideology whatsoever. Facists deserve a good beating

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

6 of them now lol crazy there are that many.

[–] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

You expect Nazis and their sympathizers to have a brain and form coherent sentences, huh?
I fear, there are at least some who do and those are even more dangerous than the typical braindead Nazi.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

4 explanations are needed now.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

"Nazi" x5

There's all the explanation you need.

[–] Pips@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 hours ago

7 Nazis right now.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

bj would have been beyond devastated about what is happening now

[–] EntirelyUnlovable@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

There's a line in New Colossus where he's in the USA during a parade for the Nazis and everyone is cheering and he says something like "look at them, cheering for their own destruction" and I keep being reminded of it

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 hours ago

BJ saw it in 60s US, and you know what he did?

He got to work.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 81 points 17 hours ago

For no reason at all? No, no, no. For all of the right reasons? Oh, for sure.

Blasting Nazis in wolfesntein is fun but not as fun as the real thing >:3

I would suggest Indiana Jones and the great circle as well for this.

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm, reinstalling Wolfenstein doesn't sound too bad.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I've been toying with the idea. So many good memories from New Colossus. It might be linear, it's such a great story. Not Shakespeare great, but honest b-movie great.

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

I agree with that. I think it's time for Terror-Billy to go on a rampage again.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 13 hours ago

Brutal Wolfenstein is a very fun game, you truly get to experience spilling Nazi blood :3

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 18 points 16 hours ago

Let the mods flow in (as in game mods, not moderators...)
