Christ, that popin during the boating segments. Also I laughed pretty hard at the fill in subtitles for one of the last duck calls.

So how's that AC ripoff of the 3DS game, has anybody played that too? Really kind of surprised they bothered to release a 3DS game instead of a mobile one where most of the shovelware is now.

I'm guessing they added Cousin Beaux so they could have a real VA do all the gamey stuff (tutorials etc) and let the real dudes stay "in-character", something like that

Actually, can we get an answer from people who know the show, what's the deal with Cousin Beaux? Searches kept faltering, but that was all by people who have no idea what the show's like and are just sort of guessing.

And just checking, none of the guys in this game yet/at all are Racist Tirade Guy, right?

Duck Dynasty wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for complete over-saturation. I work in sporting goods retail and am just surrounded by those four faces all the drat time. If it didn't jump the shark before (probably about 20 times by now), this game looks like it's gonna do a hell of a job to make sure it happens

Foul villain! I do not flee. I will never turn my back on you and run away!

[he says, running away]
So I worked in a gamestop over the holiday and there was an entire standee devoted to the two versions of this game. It morbidly fascinated me that even though I live in a relatively rednecky part of New England, where people would buy the lovely Cabela and 4x4 games mentioned in the video unironically, I never saw a single one of these games sold despite corporate apparently deciding that they needed to give the thing its own standee.

That said, for the kinda people who like this show (my future in-laws, e.g.) this actually seems like a pretty accurate adaptation!

This is part of one of my weird Duck Commander stories.

The short of this one is that Phil Robertson legitimately believes that he is a target of Radical Islam and one of their greatest enemies, to the point that the church he goes to provides him with bodyguards while there in the way of normal church goers who are also police deputies or similar and thus conceal carry in the church.

One of these is my dad.

At least that's how he says it. Maybe my dad made this up but that seems, uh...super unlikely.

I haven't watched any of the videos yet so maybe this has been pointed out but there's a 3DS version of this game that's completely different and looks like Animal Crossing or something.

In a day and age where console games just aren't made and mass-marketed unless they can claim to be a AAA game, whatever that means nowadays, it's nice to see that people still make games that are reminiscent of all the lovely PS2 licensed games we just don't see anymore.

Activision still cranks out a bunch of these weird things. I've spoken to a producer for one of them and he says they're insanely profitable and make more than COD in terms of ROI.

I've never watched an episode of Duck Dynasty, and popcultural osmosis has only told me that they are rednecks with beards and one of them is named Uncle Si, so here are my impressions so far:

-John Luck Pickard is a cold-blooded youth who wishes only to escape the madness that is this horrible redneck swamp. In the meantime, he has perfected the art of sharpshooting with a shotgun and duck calling.
-Uncle Si is a disgusting old man who probably has some racist stories about Vietnam that he made up.
-CB is a figment of John Luck's imagination.
-Phil has a lot of money but keeps it hidden.
-That other guy who I forgot the name of is an idiot.
-The dog is a demon.

The most hilarious/irritating thing about the whole Duck Dynasty thing is that the Robertson family, as shown in that 'prior to the show' shot someone posted earlier, was actually hilariously old-money wealthy LONG before they started the duck-call thing or the TV show. One of them went to BERKELEY, for god's sakes. They're 'rednecks' the same way a blackface minstrel show stars people of african ancestry. It's like how Larry the Cable Guy is from frigging Minnesota; these are essentially obscenely rich assholes aping and mocking the underclass because it sells well.

Yeah, I figure since it's reality tv at least 75% of this is scripted or edited to look different. Though I see all the old pictures and interviews of them before the show, and then I see stuff like them on Fox news saying we need to convert or kill all Muslims, so I don't know what to think of them.

I don't think so. It was all over the place for a good long while, but I think a lot of it got pulled after that controversy that KC mentioned in the video. I mean, I live in SC, the land that's never in the news for a good reason™, and the most Duck Dynasty merch I've seen in the past few weeks were some bobbleheads of the cast. Oh, and DD themed wrapping paper at Christmas.

Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of Duck Dynasty aside from hearing the name mentioned casually somewhere with no context or description at all.

My idea of rednecks in America is more or less Deliverance, but with less rape, so this game is very comfortably under redneck quote so far.

I have to qualify "Rednecks in America" because I know far too many rednecks in Canada, which is a very different flavour of redneck.
