Why Steam shouldn't have gone to Mac.

"Internet connected... download... manager."

Had it running on my Mac in 25 minutes. I have no idea what's up with this guy, or how it would take him 3 hours.

 

This guy, wow. I downloaded on my mac, no problems at all. Steam is great, and I am so glad it came to the mac.

Wow, what an idiot.

That's all there is to be said.

 

well said my friend!

 

Mac's aren't good for gaming.

Bad GPU's, even the best of the best GPU in a mac isn't enough to play more demanding games, like Empire/Napoleon : total war, Crysis, Dirt 2, and so on.

 

I find it rather pathetic that I knew exactly where that was from without the video even starting at all and me not having seen that video previously...

 

Who wants to play Crysis anymore? If you play you're probably just doing research on how to be a dick on forums.

 

I'm playing Portal on my macbook for free and having tons of fun, this alone justifies Steam for Mac.

 

Portal Release Date: October 9, 2007

Crysis Release Date: November 13, 2007

 

Not the point I was making.

 

If you bought/built a new PC and want to stress test it, you'll probably buy (or download) Crysis. That's exactly what I did. In the beginning I thought the game sucked, I've heard bad things about it. Well guess what, no it doesn't. Apart from it's looks, the game is quite fun. Better than most recent shooters (Modern Warfare 2, Bad Company 2) campaign wise. The graphics make it look stunning, the feeling you get when you walk trough the jungle or when you are floating in an alien structure, is just unmatched.

Apart from the great storyline, Crysis is just the best game to benchmark your PC with, because if you run Crysis @ +-30FPS, you run absolutely everything on the highest settings at at least 30FPS(except for GTA4 or ARMAII).

So why do gamers don't buy Apple PC's?
Reason number one:
Apple doesn't aim for gamers to buy their PC's.

Reason number two:
Apple PC's are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced (don't scream:" YOU GET OSX" because most Apple users haven't even tried Windows, it's not that bad).

You could compare buying an Apple PC with buying cars: Buy the fast, relatively cheap but not so famous Nissan Skyline or buy the expensive, but slower and more attractive BMW.


Reason number three:

There is no reasonable gaming hardware inside any Mac. The processors aren't that bad, but the GPU's just stink. They're rubbish.
