The only problem I have with that explanation is that they appear in circumstances that don't fully make sense. Michonne's hallucinations are usually triggered by something specific that ties into what happened with her and her daughters. In episode 3, some of the appearances, namely the jumpscare ones, just seem to be at random. There doesn't seem to be a clear reason for why they appear when they do throughout the first half of the episode. Especially taking into consideration that it's only this episode in particular that they get as intrusive as they do. They show up more times in episode 3 alone than they do in the first two episodes combined.
First of all, I enjoy jumpscares.
With that aside, the hallucinations accurately expressed how overwhelmed by them Michonne is. That's ho… morew 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.
I'm sure her hallucinations in the house were provoked by being around children that age, and the music that can be heard by her in the form of a music box and a gramophone. I believed that when first played it—or watched it, I should say.

To be fair, yes, there's a few times where those hallucinations popping up made sense; Alex's music box, James looking through the gun bag. But there's still a ton of other ones that just seem a bit out of place that don't seem to be brought on by anything in particular. For example, exiting a room upstairs and having them suddenly dart past for no apparent reason.

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 sp… morelit 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.
Reading everyone's comments, it seems Telltale really captured the daily torture Michonne goes through.
I thought even though they shot m… moreomentum 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
I'm not gonna lie, I wish they just plainly told us what happened to her daughters and Dominic. Although I understand the idea behind the mystery, because just how Michonne will never really know we will never really know. But it almost feels like a waste (keyword: almost)
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
I think it doesn't help that they are used to introduce michonne's character. For example if Clem died in s1 and in s2 and Lee kept seeing flashbacks of Clem, it would just work better because it was something we know and relate to.
While it was rather emotional in the final episode, I did find the whole hallucination thing rather annoying and distracting. I think that if the hallucinations was used differently and less frequently, it could have been good.
Either that or just don't do these hallucinations. Maybe it sounded good on paper but the execution is always the most important result.
Michonne mentions her daughters once. The little mini-comic to let us know how Michonne became so cold to people didn't have them. It had Dominic dying,but not them. And no, the comic is not just about Rick, it's about everyone. There's a lot of parts that are just about Michonne, or Glenn or Andrea, but even they never bring this up.
Michonne pretends to have conversations with Dominic. That would've been cool. She's pretty fucked up by the things the Governor did to her, (If you don't know about him, it's a LONG story for another time.). So maybe conversations with Dominic, or maybe nightmares about the Governor. But this stuff about her daughters is totally out of nowhere.
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition and its starts usually early adulthood or younger. Its not something that just happens or is ever just… more 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 … [view original content]

I liked the concept but it got overused
It had potential, but it didn't leave up to it
Also by this point in the story she'd already met Rick & Co. This is set after issue 126, a whole 107 Issues of friendship haha

I heard that someone chose that because he wanted Sam to die. Not in a replay.

As a avid reader of the Walking Dead comics....

I feel sad about michonne tho, because i think she's suffering of hallucinations all the time..
