I know that I should probably replay it again, but I am just curious. Does Pete stay with you all the way to the end if you stop him from going? Or do we still get separated from him?
I'm kind of disappointed Berto, Oak, and Siddiq didn't appear, and Norma didn't get a lot of screentime. Pete didn't get a lot in mine, but I suppose I didn't stop him and that's why.
I have a question for people, particularly the ones that tried to use Randall at the end of Ep 2 to call off his sister Norma. I let it run … morea little too long, making me uncomfortable leaving it silent any longer and ended up speaking to Norma myself, but I am curious, if I rewound it and timed it just at the very moment he stopped the phrase "Hey Norma, I'm fine." (or whatever he said specifically) Then what happens? IS there a way to time it so Norma ISN'T questioning any further silence over the radio, or will she always? My guess is just that it is a linear thing that she'll question if you cut him off in general, but I just wanted to ask if anyone has tested this and seen what happened if you cut him off right after his first assurance that he is fine and how Norma reacts to that.
When you watch enough Walking Dead or play enough TellTale games you have an eye for predicting things though. I knew John would die. I was … moreguessing Walker related though so credit to them for surprising me there. As SOON as he opened his gate and wouldn't freaking close it I knew he was dead. Like the second that gate opened and he threw the arm out I was like. "Ok, close it now... no seriously, shut up and close your freaking gate..."
John gets shot
"YA SEE WHAT HAPPENS JOHN?!"
Not a fan of this convenient hallucinating and I hope it goes away soon, or actually goes somewhere. Just seems silly that characters can be perfectly normal one moment, then randomly be in their own world the next.
That episode was seriously GARBAGE ! The writing at this point is like a troll face to fans , "were gonna recycle characters and scenes from not game of the year s2 and hope no one notices " omg CARLOS is back !!!! Resurrected and he talks the same and he doesn't want the outside world affecting his again and oh yeah his wife is still dead , and he dies same way .... CARVER is back !!! And dies same way in a beat down , at least Brenda is on the way to save him , ... Seriously guys I'm really surprised how very poor this is , after the first episode was pretty good , this is the worst thing telltale has ever written , to have characters so like season 2 characters is like it's some big joke , awful awful shit ! Glad I only watched it on YouTube , 1/10 and that's generous because I got to see Carlos again .
So after all the frustration of waiting yesterday I was finally able to download it today. Compared to Episode 1 it really didn't wow me as … moremuch for some reason. The action was good but it felt like such a short episode. Episode 1 took me over an hour to play and this one I was done in about 30 mins. With it only being 3 episodes you would think there would be a little more content to each one. I'm going to play it again tomorrow and do the opposite of all I did today and see how I feel then. I would probably give it a 6/10,it just felt like something was missing from it somehow for me.
I enjoyed the episode. I was watching it on skype while Sialark played it, and I did voice in on decisions with her. It was fun going through it with a friend definitely. I felt the story definitely built on the last episode and there were decisions we were stumped on [or it was more of 'look you're on own Sialark, decide! decide! I can't help you!' something like that lol] like the decision with Randall, I really wanted that guy dead, but when it came to it, for me, the way he was baiting Michonne, yet was restrained by that vice, I suddenly didn't quite feel it. If it had just been him on his own and with no repercussions I would've told Sialark just to go for it, but she decided to let him live because Norma might be more pissed off and I agreed.
It was the same for the decision with Pete on letting him leave or not, thankfully Sialark decided to drag that asshole back into the boat and I was glad, but at the same time I agreed about his plan that would've not gotten lesser people killed, and I didn't like the killing part even though it wasn't too bad [and I was pretty sure nobody actually died, they just fell in the water, but Norma seemed to say otherwise?] but what I liked from that was that despite Pete's appearance for the rest of the episode being determinant, he still feels very much part in the story. I really liked that Telltale made an real effort to involve such a determinant role in a lot of situations where Pete's helping Sam with having her bullet taken out, speaking or remarking during a lot of conversations, to backing Michonne up when there's danger about [even restraining Randall, you go Pete! You da man!]. I really liked what they did with that, because on other hand I could imagine it being quite intense with it just being Michonne with an injured Sam on their own trying to get to her house, and then with everything else that followed with nobody backing you up, to being the only real adult in the house to protect the kids and teenagers, that would be scary.
So let’s see, the breakout sequence was great. I loved how Zackery and his partner can end up helping Michonne and the others to escape [I hope they run away and go live on farm together, they’re cinnamon bun rolls too beautiful for this world, too pure!] and the pylon climbing thing was awesome, even if the decision on which identical bar to climb was kinda funny. But I really loved when it cut back to Michonne in the apartment building, and you’re trying to piece together what exactly happened to her daughters and her ex, it was sort of a mystery thing going on with that where even now I feel like I’m doing detective work in my head attempting to solve it. And oh god that bullet removal scene was so painful looking! I was getting scared Sam would die if Sialark wasn't fast enough.
The only big negative I could give for this episode is John’s death. I’m going to be honest here, it was bad, so bad that it takes a score off this episode for me, and like many people, I saw it coming. John’s surprise death could’ve been handled a lot better to not go as far as doing something as stupid as opening the gate [and talking with his back turned to the open gate when there were walkers out there earlier I might add!] which I’m surprised is actually unlocked to begin with, and that Michonne never actually attempted to close it to stop Randall from coming in. The easiest solution I could’ve thought up would be for one, John to throw the walker arm over the gate, and the second, then for him to have been shot by Randall in the same manner, but instead as Randall was perhaps climbing over the wall with his goons, which then could’ve resulted in Michonne running for cover. Or I don’t know, John noticing the gate is unlocked from somebody being boosted over and letting the others inside while Michonne and co were in the house, and then John gets shot and Michonne runs for cover again.
I mentioned it in another post but yeah, the cinematography is really, really good this episode, the things they did with Michonne seeing her daughters kept killing me [and then that phone conversation that cut off, that was scary to listen to] but overall I was impressed. Right now I’m convinced the last episode of Michonne is going to be great [I hope] and that Season 3 has some promise after seeing this episode as well…but please Telltale, please work on your deaths.
Funnily enough I forgot all about it when I played the beginning. Even though Pete lives either way I still thought something bad would happen if he gave himself up. I still stopped him xD
As much as I'd like to do that, I'm trying to imagine that I don't know their fates, so I pulled Pete back in while escaping, because if it was someone who DIDN'T have plot armor, that's the choice I'd take.
Gotta love it when people butcher my comments by ignoring half of what I say and only responding to a few lines. Thanks a lot.
My point i… mores, the only attitude that we've seen the general population of Monroe have is watching one another's backs. There is no reason to think that they are bad, because the little screentime they've had suggests otherwise. The wording of my comment might make it seem like I think that all of them are innocent, which is far from the truth. We don't know every single person there, so I can't say for a fact.
They really were helpless. The people that Michonne determinantly fights during the escape can barely stand their ground and use weapons. You might say they're naive, but what were we doing killing them in the first place? Is it justified just because we wanted to get away?
So glad I just watched nukemdukems play through instead of payin for this series cause it's not worth even $15.
Storyline feels like a high schooler who just started watching TWD wrote it.
Also wanna point out that michonne had a very real mental instability in the comics that is replaced with the hallucination scenes. Truly I feel bad for the wasted talent at TTG inc.
Was I the only one who saw John was gonna get shot at any moment? It heavily reminded me of Axel and Abraham's deaths in the show and comics respectively.

Yeah, that would definitely make the scene better. I kinda expected something bad to happen, but if the scene went like you described, I think I'd genuinely be shocked. :P
You know, I thought about the scene where John gets shot, and I thought of something that might make that scene a bit better. Bear with me h… moreere:
So, it plays out the same as it does now, but instead of him getting killed by Randall mid sentence, a walker grabs him through the gate mid sentence instead, but he manages to push it off and kill it himself. He looks up for a moment, tries to say something to Michonne."We should close th--" and then BAM, Randall shoots him like he does now.
Basically, it would be a way to provide a last bit of development to his character and prove he can fight/kill, while also acting as a double-subversion of the players' expectations. As soon as the gate opens, people start expecting something bad to happen, right? "This guy is so going to get killed," they're thinking. So you have a walker reach in and grab him, with confirms their expectations about something happening to him. But then he kills it. So the… [view original content]
you enjoy the game? great,your opinion,my opinion i hated it,but really liked episode 1. like i said before i don't read the comics,but if you don't think Carlos and Carver being recylced is a problem,god speed to you

Actually, I knew something was gonna happen to him, but I thought a walker was gonna nab him and bite him. Him getting his face blown off surprised the heck outta me.
That kept annoying me too! I hate that she makes it so obvious to everyone around her as well - if it happens this often surely she would be able to hide it better by now.

I thought it was a much better episode than the first one, but still worse than all previous Walking Dead games (including 400 days). To be honest, if Randall wasn't in it I think I would have given it a much lower score; he seems to bring more fun into it, and I like the Norma/Randall sibling team thing. I still don't really care about Michonne very much - I don't hate her or dislike her at all - but I was really upset when Lee died, and if Michonne dies at the end then I won't care at all.

How is it not an opinion if you came up with the term in the first place? That aside, I think Carver is totally different than Randall.
Carver was the leader of a succesful community, who thought that, in order to have enough supplies for those who worked hard on his place, he should get rid of those who didn't, or couldn't for that matter, and that it was a moral choice. I personally think that that's the reason why Howe's lived so long. His problem was that he didn't let those who opposed that principle leave. Notice how the cabin group “escaped”, not “left”?
Randall is somebody who was able to kill without remorse, for better or worse. His sister was the leader of a succesful floating community, while he was his… you could say he was Norma's savage second in command. I picture him having a good relationship with most of the Monroe citizens, for some reason. The thing is, he did give a chance to those who didn't pull their weight, Zachary, by threatening people who stole from Monroe—at least from their perspective—to get information about where he rest of their guns and ammunition was.
They might seem like the same character on the surface, but their core personality and their view on those who don't lift their weight are drastically different.

To everyone who says Telltale can't do horror games, I think that disturbing, spine chilling, dream sequence says plenty otherwise. Jesus I still have chills running down my spine.
Comments
He stays with you!
He didn't do much more when you stopped him. He was just there to hold sam when she was shot, killed a few walkers. In the background for most.
And NEGAN?! Are you pissing your pants yet?
Eyy but I got a bargaining chip for ep 3. STOP THE FIYAH.
Same here.
That's what I did. Cut him off right after he tells her he's fine. She still questions the silence afterwards.
I've played every telltale game since Sam and Max though, I was just caught up in the emotional discussion :P
It was good but I thought the episode would be a lot longer.

Okay, that is imposible. Even if you tried to play fast it'd take you at least an hour. Is there any chance you were exaggerating?

You did it again—and your attempt to reply with an ironic comment failed. It pretty much proves that you don't have any more arguments to elaborate.

I was literally just waiting for him to shut up, so I could bash his head in
It's sad we couldn't do more to Randall though.
Considering all the tools there.
Was I the only one who saw John was gonna get shot at any moment? It heavily reminded me of Axel and Abraham's deaths in the show and comics respectively.
What are you talking about? This is about Michonne not The Walking Dead S2...
Many people saw it coming when he left the the gate opened and didn't bother closing it.
I'm pretty sure the Clemmy1 was talking about how the characters between Michonne mini-series and TWDS2 have similarities and parallels.
Wow, lots of mixed views on this episode. Very interesting.
Yeah, that would definitely make the scene better. I kinda expected something bad to happen, but if the scene went like you described, I think I'd genuinely be shocked. :P
thank you @Megami,i was
you enjoy the game? great,your opinion,my opinion i hated it,but really liked episode 1. like i said before i don't read the comics,but if you don't think Carlos and Carver being recylced is a problem,god speed to you
He says " Hey! I wasn't finished yet!" Then it gives the option to cut off the radio or talk to her yourself. If I remember correctly.
I think it is. I share this opinion. I think Randall is a rehash of Carver. How is that not an opinion?
Hey...at least Randall won't be getting up and walking again... heheh
Who's Sam? the dog from s2? Sam didn't get burned????... rolls eyes fact
Actually, I knew something was gonna happen to him, but I thought a walker was gonna nab him and bite him. Him getting his face blown off surprised the heck outta me.
To be fair, that's not saying much.
That kept annoying me too! I hate that she makes it so obvious to everyone around her as well - if it happens this often surely she would be able to hide it better by now.
That was a flarely good pun...

Sam got that Max Caulfield haircut.
How in the hell is John anything like Carlos
How is Norma like Brenda
What even is this post
And before you give me that "its my opinion" spiel, this is my opinion: I don't like your opinion
Woah woah woah, now hey
hey
there's no need for that
the rest of your post, sure, but this
this is just going too far
Meh, the Dream sequences just seemed bland to me.
