Idiot gamers are upset because the harpy in Serious Sam 4 doesn't have her boobs out

It is with regret that we must inform you that the idiot gamers are at it again.

Apparently, this wasn't the case in previous games, and now someone is having a little cry that they can no longer wank to a mythical flying creature.

As correctly pointed out by a Croteam developer in the thread "there are way better places to look at gazoongas than a video game," before patiently explaining "it was a design choice that had nothing to do with showing or not showing boobs. I'm guessing the character artist felt this looks better. Even the concepts for the harpy didn't have fully exposed boobs."

Was there seriously need for this article? Like seriously, can we just ignore these fuckheads and not give them a platform? Because yeah, we can hate on them as much as we want, but giving them the spotlight will only make more idiots join their cause.

California Democrats got their next victim, damn. Add it to their other hostages of Tifa's boobs and Jill's skirt in REmake 3.

This really should be the end of the conversation, really. Don't get me wrong I like my gazoongas and some video games got some nice gazoongas but uh, there's a million other places to get my fix of bongos.

Feels like another case of "gamers" wanting control over wanting boobs. Same thing happened with Tifa's bust size in the Final Fantasy VII remake. Here's a video that explains what I mean:

Just watch porn, it's cheaper than Serious Sam 4 plus I'm sure there's some rule 34 shit they can just download.

The damn SJWs got to the character artist before they even did their first concept art for the character and made them censor it, bastards.

Do we really need entire articles calling out some random dork who started a Steam thread? I mean, yeah, it's dumb, but...who cares?

If I can't see the dick of the beheaded kamikaze I will boycott all Croteam games from now on and publicly burn my Steam copy of The Talos Principle

Yes, because this sort of outcry comes out all the times across various subcultures within gaming. So clearly it's a systemic problem within the hobby that needs to be called out rather than ignored.

I googled Serious Sam harpies and I got a snake head with a human face on top.

Lmao, one of the devs actually in that steam thread and schooled them.

So often the "muh censorship" crowd forget that devs are making conscious choices.

An article about a steam forum thread? Ok. Rather just ignore these idiots.

Okay, fine, then write that article. Given us the broader scope and context. Just singling out one random Steam thread and writing sassy zingers about it doesn't accomplish much or do anything to reduce toxicity.

If I remember correctly I dont think the harpies were even topless in the original serious sam games, only in the third one.

In the golden age of the Internet where there's porn everywhere, why are you looking for video game boobs?

It's literally just one guy in the steamforums and almost everyone but some weirdo called rusty_dragon is making fun of him

Some videogame journalists are really desperate for content huh

Wow, you were't kidding. The article in the OP really is the definition of clickbait.

(Also, many of the replies in that steam thread correctly points out that the harpies were only topless in Serious Sam 3, which is the odd ducking of the franchise with vastly different art design than the previous games. And Serious Sam 4 is clearly ditching that style in order to go back to its roots.)

wow at the comment saying if they didn't cover the boobs up the dev would get death threats?

it's INFINITELY more likely for them to get death threats FOR COVERING the boobs. THOSE types of people are the crazy ones, not people that think exposed boobs are too much.

If HOMM3 taught me anything, it's that harpies are supposed to be repulsive.

Really weird hill to die on for some.

Haven't seen any of this and glad I haven't. Generally speaking, self proclaimed "gamers" shouting about lack of nudity equalling censorship, are part of the niche crowd desperate for nudity. Couldn't care less, especially since for the most part it's extremely rare censorship has anything to do with it

You are correct, these people are idiots. They had chainlink bras in the original games.

I do hope they kept the fake face from 3 though, that was actually pretty cool.

People are dumb. But unless this is part of some big negative reaction or it's something supremely stupid like "vaginabones" or "#bonerkulture", who cares. I'm not sure that we need to hear about the horny brain diarrhea of random vacuous sub-sponges on the internet.
