HELP !!!.Can't get past first action scene

[joolz]

I'm on such a downer after being on a good high playing this GREAT game, but i have a problem, i'm stuck where lucas is being chased around the office by those big bugs, i managed to get him to pick the fire extinguisher up in the corner of the office, however he gets cornered by the bugs and it's game over.

btw it's took me over 30 attempts just to get lucas to the fire extinguisher scene,i had problems with the action control.

can someone offer some advice please concerning the action controls, this is sending me bonkers :mad: i'm using the mouse for the action controls but as i mentioned earlier there's a giant bug i have to dodge before i get to the fire extinguisher, well both the on-screen indicators indicate the bottom green line so i press the down arrow & the number 2 button but i get a fail EVERYTIME thats when i'm using the mouse controls. i've only managed to get passed this sequence once using the actual keys but like i said before lucas gets cornered by the bugs and its game over.

forgive my long rant but help would be greatly appreciated.

I never knew you could use the mouse for the PAR sequences (the 'press the button when it tells you to' thing)....

Anyway, when doing the PAR sequences, my advice is this : Never - under any circumstances - use the mouse. Always use the buttons. I only ever used the mouse for the context-sensitive actions during the game (opening doors, climbing up/down, etc).

A good way to get through the 'press two buttons at the same time' scenario is to hit one, then the other. If you do it fast enough, the game won't know the difference.

Hope this helps you through Lucas' giant mite problem. And playing the guitar/hitting the punchbag in Lucas' apartment is a good way to practice the PAR system if you need to. :)

it is more easy, to use key: up, down, left and right = W, S, A, D... then take it on normal or easy... if you have tryed on HARD 30 times.

I agree, it's such a downer.....
I have a cordless keyboard with no numeral keys...
So I had to program it over to other keys... It makes it very difficult to do the PAR sequences. Ahhh.....
Anybody here know a way around that stuff ?????
Been trying all day to get past those bugs....

Not very funny.
