Really Activision, A Duck Dynasty Game?

There’s a lot of shovel ware games out there that should never have been and Duck Dynasty appears to be the newest addition to the list. Activision is making a game based on the hit show on A&E and will be releasing it next month for Xbox and Playstation consoles as well as the 3DS. This game seems like the worst idea to come out of Activision since Battleship.

I may be wrong here, but I feel that the kind of fans of the duck dynasty show that would want this game would probably have a hard time using a console.

[Godmars290]

Supposedly, they're all suburbanites. White-collar. The whole hillbilly act is just an act.

[WeAreLegion]

No, it's not an act. Why would you think it's an act? They do everything they do in the show. That's them.

[hazelamy]

but they've got the racism and homophobia down pat.

@wearelegion

yes, its all an act, and anybody who cant tell the show is scripted probably also believes WWE isn't scripted...

who's life actually goes: what zany adventure will we get into today? uh oh, something went wrong, somebodys mad (or sad, or generally upset...), everybody pulls through in the end and learns a valueable lesson about friendship or family! yay!

thats pretty much every duck dynasty episode ive ever seen... (ive seen WAY too many, my in-laws are REALLY into this stuff...)

[Godmars290]

@WeAreLegion:
As hard as it may be to believe; reality TV is not real. Its staged and/or edited to be whatever the producers want it to be.

[MRMagoo123]

all the A and E shows are fake from what I have researched, baggage battles, storage wars, hardcore pawn all of em have made up situations to make the show more exciting. I would prefer if it was all real myself.

[DeadRabbits]

I'm waiting for the Swamp People game that will be far more classier!

[kparks]

Lol shoot em shoot em da heeeead!

[JsonHenry]

Most of the people I know that watch this show are regular people you wouldn't even think would enjoy watching the show. I've never watched the show myself but I can't see how it would be made into a game based on the few commercials I've watched about it a few years ago.

[Mankey]

Even though the show is ridiculous and the people are silly, I see no reason this game should not be alloud to exist.

[CerealKiller]

I could have sworn I read a few years back that Activision was getting out of the licensed movie and TV games business. I'm surprised they even make money on these garbage games I always wonder who is buying them.

[weekev15]

I could be wrong here but wont the show pay them to make it?

[CerealKiller]

Activision pays them to use the license, most likely in the form of royalties on games sold.

[Eonjay]

And they talk bad about indies... this is somewhere under games that would be called shovelware.

[SteamPowered]

This would fit somewhere beneath shovelware. Has the terms garbageware or toiletware been coined yet?

[Ripsta7th]

Now it has lol

[hazelamy]

cesspitware? ^_^

[LightDiego]

Activision...It's difficult to accept that Bungie, Blizzard, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are with them.

[dcj0524]

Life is a lie

[SteamPowered]

Gotta follow the dollar, son. Activision still has a lot of licenses worth pursuing.

[bazinga_91]

DOTY!

[Software_Lover]

........ These kind of games have been made since forever.

[Knightofelemia]

The show lost its appeal to me it got boring that and the fact they have their name on just about ever product out there. Surprised there is no Duck Dynasty IPhone case or toilet paper. Honestly a game would be a waste of resources if people want to play a game try big game hunter.

[Gamble20]

There is a Duck Dynasty iPhone case, you are correct in toilet paper though. I also used to love the show, they are a very genuine family regardless of the haters. However, the novelty has worn off and the newest episodes have just been boring. I don't relaly watch anymore.

[hazelamy]

genuine racists and homophobes.

[TheHunter81]

Its Activision, they put quantity over quality, expect nothing less.

[Codey47]

Are devs and publishers that devoid of creativity and innovation?
Really scraping the barrel, now guys.

#Ifearfortehfuture

[Exies7]

Oh well... If it makes someone happy. Why not

[DarthJay]

I don't really see the problem with this. I can't imagine it being all that different than Cabela's. It's a typical Activision franchise game. They have a pretty heavy following and it seems like the exact game they would typically make.

I'm sure it will be as bad as their Walking Dead game, though. It's a "budget" title so 50 on next gen, 40 on last gen. Meh.

[MrCherry]

Its all about $$$$$

[Tito08]

Well, I bet in case Activision plans to release this crap to Japan, they might call it "Duck Dynasty Warriors" to sell, lol.

Never understood the popularity of that show, all I know it would take me years to grow beard like that, that's all.

[SovereignSnaKe]

~What a horrible show about horrible people. (Now own the video game) I believe they are the /true/ definition of hipsters, considering they all grew up wealthy but act like a bunch of under-educated, bigoted southern hillbillies.

[ShowGun901]

they just know what works... once they figured out it would sell, it takes ALOT of morals to not become a complete sell-out! it reminds me of Krusty the Clown:

"They drove a dump-truck full of money up to my house!!! what was i supposed to do!?!"

BTW i agree with everything you said lol

[SovereignSnaKe]

~This is very true and I gave you a bubble for mentioning The Simpsons AND KC. :D

[lizard81288]

I must say, they know how to market Duck Dynasty

[ZeekQuattro]

The show isn't really popular anymore. Maybe if they released the game 2 years ago but not now.

[SonyAddict]

This will be a 9 out of 10.

[Kevdater]

Activision your a shoe in for worst company of the year award
