THQ Stock Drops

Gamasutra reports that THQ's stock price plunged about 25% today, though they add that "a small portion of that decrease has been reversed in after hour trading as of this writing." They speculate this may be due in part to reviews for Homefront, as Metacritic shows the just-released first-person shooter as having scores of 74 (mixed or average) on PC, 72 (mediocre) on Xbox 360, and 76 (generally favorable) on PlayStation3. They note a couple of other factors that may play into this are disappointing sales of the Wii-based uDraw tablet and platformer De Blob 2. Thanks Joao.

There was a little country called Germany many years ago that was in the same position....economically and politically. In that scenario it took one maniac with a vision to nearly take over the free world. Also, you are talking about the NK of today, in the game after Kim Jong Ill dies his son opens up dialogue with the west and unites Korea etc. You are then inserted into the game ....20 years from now? Its improbable but hardly implausible.

I was thinking the same thing... Have you never watched the History channel?

Yes, and Hitler spent the better part of a decade transforming Germany into a superpower primarily through its manufacturing base by creating weapons of war for what he knew was coming down the pipe. Kim Jong-il just hangs out in his private train and mansions while the people eat dirt...literally. If the guy was actually about doing what Hitler was - making his country great, at least in his eyes, and a force to be reckoned with - then you might just have something. I still say they should have gone with China because at least it may have had some basis in reality, same as it was Russia in Red Dawn and not some piss poor third world nation coming out of nowhere.

Anyway, we knew the game would suck and I'm sure these reviews are bing overly generorous for the most part seeing as they've already taken THQs advertising dollars and had to be somewhat kind in their criticisms.
