References in TWD Michonne (Minor Spoilers)
So i played twd michonne a couple days ago and sth is on my mind but i didnt see a thread about so i'm making one. Sorry if i overlooked one.
So when michonne and pete are on the ferry in the room with the duffle bag, there are 3 references to old twd seasons from telltale.
At first i saw the peaches and beans from s2e2 in the duffle bag and i was like 'alright thats kinda cool'. Then i saw the cigs also from s2e2 and i thought 'thats a little too much at once but okay, it makes sense that there would be cigs, might as well he this brand.' But when i saw the locker with the name 'logan' from s1e4 it really bothered me. Dont get me wrong i love me some references but it felt kind of cheap. They might as well put a picture of clementine there and let michonne say 'oh that girl looks cute and good with a gun' and then have her wink at the player. Dont get me wrong i thought the episode was pretty good but those super obvious references bothered me.. What do you think about it?

I wouldn't consider using the same peaches and cigarette brands as "cheap" as they appear to be a common brand in the game universe so it wouldn't be unusual to see the same brand around (it would be the same as going to different supermarkets and complaining about them "reusing" the same brand of food :P) but i can see your point with the Logan label, the label itself appears to be a reused asset rather than a reference and it was used on two different lockers in the same scene which i felt could have been changed or even have them make a new name label rather than reusing a old one.
Yeah i guess you're right about the peaches and cigarettes:) but it was kind of weird for me to have all three things in one room instead of distributing them in different locations
They wernt references to earlier seasons, they just reused the models
The peaches one was definitely a reference. It felt that way to me.
yeah it felt like a reference to me, and also maybe a bit of a joke about how people wanted clementine in the michonne game, like "well, here she is"
As with all the other Walking Dead games from Telltale, I give it a 10! Michonne definitely follows suit. I usually play on the PS3 but downloaded the newest on Google Play. I thought for sure it wouldn't stand up to the other versions but it totally did. It doesn't even lack on graphics. Game play isn't bad for an android based plarform. Being a long time fan of the graphic novel, I can honestly say I will be following this as long as I can.
He has a point. The can of peaches can just be that universe's brand of peaches. Similar how in the real world the entire world drinks Coke. Its not because god the creator was lazy, but perhaps the rest of the world isn't so different in preference in food.
