Annoying Daughters Flashback
At First I thought, wow! That can be interesting! but it gets overused and gets really annoying,
I know Michonne's daughters died, or might still be alive it's been used a lot in episodes 1 and 2 and basing a lot of that on episode 3 makes it annoying
but on top of that the game is great, amazing combat scenes, good story, learning about what happened to Michonne before she joined Rick.
the only thing that bugged me is the daughters

Same. The writers weren't even subtle.
I get it, writers! She misses her daughters, I get it! Now stop fucking shoving it in Michonne's face.
Im almost glad they likely died a horrible death they were that annoying
I hope they are dead. Fucking annoying kids. Spooky crap.
Yeah, screw those kids. Gee, I understand Michonne misses her daughters so much and feels guilty but for fuck's sakes Michonne, GET YOUR SHIT TOGHETER. I pressed "Leave your daughters" RIGHT when it popped out. Stay with them? What kind of choice is that? THEY WERE NOT REAL.
You're right, and now I saw clearly how they look, I can say with confidence: they are less cute than Clementine. Clementine cutest
At least Clementine is not a "flashback" lol. Michonne's daughters are the worst kids in the video game franchise.
yes haha
season 1 did it better, it let us fill up the puzzle, only one flashback that we didn't even see, which was Lee's wife screaming
I suppose we'll agree to disagree.
Really you liked the flashbacks?
I could maybe appreciate them if they weren't so saturated in the third episode, they pop up constantly
@Firewallcano is right. Weren't they annoying you where you were in dangerous situations? House being on fire? They were no real.
Don't worry Lewsblake23. I'm with ya lol
I didn't think they were annoying.
If they had just been right at the end with the fire it could have been okay, still annoying but I appreciate the message.But them constantly appearing throughout the episode was just distracting
But they were dangerous. They just didn't leave Michonne alone when she was in dangerous situations.
I have nothing against Michonne's kids.
But I am bothered about how the flashbacks were handled like some poorly made indie horror game filled with jump scares and hamfisted reminders of the protagonist's mental anguish. It's fine to have Michonne hallucinate her daughters, but when they start to appear everywhere to the point where they annoy you rather than unnerve you, the audience is not going to care about Michonne's personal struggle.
The fact/moment they actually used them as a jumpscare was when i went from irritated to hatred
Opinions //shrugs
I have a different look on the subject. I felt they were necessary because schizophrenia doesn't leave you alone in "dangerous situations". The one with the illness has absolutely no control over that and so doesn't the player of this game. Sure, you can say it's "overused" but isn't that the point? They aggressively get in your face because of Michonne's guilt. This is something she has to overcome.
What the heck? This isnt schizophrenia do you even know what the condition is? Michonne doesnt have it
It's illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, hallucinations, and psychotic behavior.
Look im sorry but no whats happening to her isnt schizophrenia, her having one of the symptoms of the condition isnt her having the condition. You clearly dont know anything about it or how the condition works
If you're going to correct me then tell what it is. I have no problem learning what it actually is.
Also whether I don't or I do, I know she's having hallucinations and that's not going to change my opinion about her daughters.
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition and its starts usually early adulthood or younger. Its not something that just happens or is ever just a short term thing. Even with medication symptoms are constant and most are not treatable, without you get a strong set of "positive" and negative effects. In summary its not just having occasional hallucinations, it usually equates to the person talking gibberish a lot of the time about completely random stuff. Half the time what people are saying wont make any sense at all, words come out but its about something completely illogical. The violence and hallucinations associated with the condition are usually really played up by the media when often its nothing like that, they can get to that point but its usually with a multitude of other symptoms or sometimes not at all.
Anyway Michonne has nothing like that, she acts completely rationally and speaks common sense at all times. She also understand it isnt real most of the time. She doesnt have any other symptoms of the condition. Saying hallucinations means schizophrenia = a kind of tick box mindset
Really id say shes just traumatized
Thank you. I guess I have a full grasps on what schizophrenia is. I also want to point out that Michonne has been dealing with this for a while based on what I got from the game. What I actually thought it was was trouble sleeping, depression, lack of motivation, withdrawal from friends and family, less likely to have delusions and more likely to have visual hallucinations?
And yeah, I agree. Maybe she's traumatized.
Stress/guilt induced hallucinations aren't schizophrenia.
Ah, okay. Thanks for telling me.
I agree they were very annoying. We get is she feels guilty/misses them. That choice at the end to stay with them or not was a fucking joke.
I don't really have much explanation to why I liked them. I just found them interesting whilst playing, I guess. I can see why you'd find them out-of-place at times, though.
Normally I'd say everyone's overreacting again but, I agree that they were highly bothersome especially in final chapter. Probably the first time I thought a telltale game annoyed me. Besides the teaching Clementine to shoot train scene. Which was really more frustrating than annoying.
Yeah they were annoying. Always used as a plot device every 5 minutes and never amounting to anything. I get it hurt her but it's just a wear on the story
Overused a tad too much. Kinda got me feeling "meh whatever" when more hallucinations showed up as ep. 3 developed. It made sense to see them every once in a while, especially during stressful moments, but as I said overused.
This game isn't about what happened to Michonne before she meets Rick. It's about a period of time when she is away from Rick's group in the comics, after All Out War.
That was a long time. I have a hard time understanding this is all she did in that time frame
True. It's like Naruto fight scenes where they keep bringing up flashbacks to prolong the event lol
Yeah I was getting real annoyed when her daughter's kept showing up. I was ready to say fuck off
The flashbacks where interesting at first, then they got really boring, also me and my sister jumped after the daughters suddenly ran away from one of the rooms lol.
Reading everyone's comments, it seems Telltale really captured the daily torture Michonne goes through.
I thought even though they shot momentum and slowed the story, I think it was an aspect done nicely and set the game apart from just a shorter, shallower TWD game with a different protagonist and setting
Maybe a bit of exaggeration? Yes they were annoying but not as far as you guys are making it be, probably because 80% of them were just a split second so it was a matter of "Oh my god" as they popped from no where rather than "Just piss off already". At least that is how I felt.
Wish there was the option to say piss off to the kids and it was overused a little bit and I hope the only reason someone picked the last option was just to see what happens
First of all, I enjoy jumpscares.
With that aside, the hallucinations accurately expressed how overwhelmed by them Michonne is. That's how I took it, at least. Michonne has to live with that every single day. I agree that they were overdone, but I appreciate it, from a story-telling perspective.
I can't believe how affected people were by them. From my perspective, I'd say it is overreaction, but I get why some were pissed at them.
It was way too overused. In episode 3, when you choose weather to stay with the kids or leave them, I was like "F you kids". It could have been a tougher choice if they had scaled down a little bit, or at least have done it in a different way.
