In Response To: Pathways Into Darkness Is Hard! (Quantum)

You don't really need mouse control once you get used to it, since there's no verticality. Just adjusting to the slower speeds is one of the harder things to get used to. My best strategy is just to find chokepoints to defend, and wait around the corner. Headless are pretty easy to take down that way without taking damage. Retreating if you're surrounded is also important. But yeah, it's hard, for sure.

: So I just started playing Pathways for the first time ever (Marc Levin's OSX
: port), and I'm terrible. I guess I'm one of those young'uns raised on
: twitchy shooters, like Marathon. I can't for the life of me—or my
: avatar—dance and dodge around even the harmless Headless with any sort of
: consistency. I suck particularly hard with the default keyboard controls,
: and as far as I can tell there's no way to change the key bindings and no
: mouse control available.

: So, other than relentless practice, are there any tips for success? Any
: obvious things I'm missing? I don't expect to play like Hopper, but if I
: could take less than 1 hit every 2 Headless I might make it past Lock and
: Load before Sunday afternoon.
