However, some will not run due to hardware/software issues. Mac computers actually have some descent specs inside the hood, and some games tend to run even better on the Mac OS then Windows under the right circumstances. Boot Camp is where 87% of games will work. Go buy a Windows disc, install it, and boom, you can boot into Windows (if you have tons of spare hard drive space, you could make a Linux boot too, and have all 3 major OS's!). It is entirely up to the game and how the game was built to see if it runs.įirst, as you mentioned, there is Boot Camp.
As a Mac user too, I have found all these options to either work somewhat, or not work at all. Also if any of you have managed to find alternative ways to swap the Mac into PC mode in order to play PC games, please give me advice because there is no way in hell I'm missing out on Rome II this year and I want to find a way to play it without spending tons of money on a gaming PC. I want to hear from you guys if this is correct or not. Also, another thing I heard from my friend was that if I get Parallels Desktop 8 for around $100-$200, I could run Windows on my Mac and even play PC games on there. If I install something like Boot Camp onto a MAC, hold option and select Windows, then the Mac goes into PC mode. I want the community's feedback on whether he's right or not:Īpparently, you can download a Windows program onto your MAC and can switch over to a Windows interface on your MAC in order to play PC titles. Though instead of spending plenty of money on a new PC or even building one, I heard some tips from a friend of mine.
Steam can be used on Mac, but the library of games available is nowhere near as big from what I can tell. If anything, re-releases of past generation and current generation games such as Rome Total War, Sid Meier's Pirates, Starcraft II, Borderlands and others usually have been ported over to the Mac months or years after their initial release on PC.
Most of us know that the Mac is pretty barren when it coming to gaming.
Total War Rome II is the main reason why I want to get back into PC gaming again because its the sequel to my favorite game, but I also want to try other games such as Company of Heroes 2 and Watch Dogs for the PC. Even though I am a MacBook Pro owner, lately I've been wanting to get back into PC gaming again.
