Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games.
While I would love to replay the campaign missions of COD, I ain’t paying like $30-60 for a two decade plus old game from EA. While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don’t mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.
Not interested in debating politics, just wanna shoot nazis.
Far Cry 6
IMO, the ultimate ‘killing fascists for catharsis’ game. Set in totally-not-Cuba, where a psuedo-communist revolution took place in 1967, leading to a blockade that cut the island off from the rest of the world, but eventually the descendant of one of the pre-revolution leaders was elected president and has steered the country in a full-on fascist direction, backed by foreign investment. You play as a refugee who turns into a badass guerilla insurgent when your escape plan goes bust. And the ultimate aim is to not only kill lots and lots of fascists (and break their stuff, take over their bases), but eventually to kill El Presidente and topple the entire regime. Besides the rank-and-file soldados of the fascist regime, it gives you some very hateable fascist leaders who you’ll (for the most part) eventually get to kill in pretty satisfying ways. Oh, and spoiler:

you even get to kill a foreign billionaire who’s been backing the regime!
Plus, the whole thing is done well, with gorgeous graphics, a huge and well-detailed open world map, and pretty decent story for the most part. (Only thing that really annoys me about it is that it’s autosave-only, and the autosave can be finicky to trigger sometimes.)
Would definitely recommend; it’s one of my favorite games ever. And it’s exactly what you’re asking for!
is that the one with all the commercials where giancarlo esposito cuts a bunch of promos on you, the player
He does play El Presidente … but I’m not sure what you mean by ‘cuts a bunch of promos’.
“cut a promo” is pro wrestling terminology for “make a speech about how you are going to defeat someone (while also summarizing the soap opera plot that got you here and why the audience gives a shit and so on)”
in all of the commercials the guy is like “I, Giancarlo Esposito, am too powerful for you, the player. You, the player, suck at video games and I, Giancarlo Esposito, will win the video game as an NPC in the game” even though he was nominally in character, and it was very funny
Yep and it’s great cause smashing billboards with his face on them is an actual goal in game
