Macintosh Gamers 🖥️🍎 | Gaming on macOS and Mac hardware

For those who haven't been keeping up, cyberpunk 2077 ultimate edition is coming to mac in "early 2025", which means this is a great time to pick it up if you're interested.

Funny games disproportionally appear on the Mac? Data inconclusive, but vibes say yes.

I was curious to see if the new (old) Red Dead Redemption can be played on macOS through a compatibility software (Whisky or Crossover).

But it seems the game can't be played because the DRM used on it ins't compatible with Crossover.

I'm curious if the already cracked version can be used on Crossover or Whisky. Has anyone tested it? If it works, then it's only way to play the game on macOS.

Edit.: Here is some testing that the game can't be played on macOS now. There are two ways of playing it: emulating the Switch version through Ryujinx or the cracked version.

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT coming to iPhone 15, Pad, and Mac Jan. 30th. Special launch price only $19.99

When Palia released on Switch earlier this week, I had no idea it was also available on PC. I did some digging and found this launcher and guide for running Palia on Mac. So far I have been playing it most of the day without issue. Setup was just as easy as setup on Windows.

Really excited to play the game. Seems like a Game of the Year candidate. Should be released around September 6 for Mac on Steam (and I think GoG)

After approximately 10 months in a release candidacy phase, OpenMW 0.48 has finally been released. A list of changes can be found in the link.

The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.48.0 of our open-source engine!

So what does another fruitful year of diligent work bring us this time? The two biggest improvements in this new version of OpenMW are the long-awaited post-processing shader framework and an early version of a brand-new Lua scripting API! Both of these features greatly expand what the engine can deliver in terms of visual fidelity and game logic. As usual, we've also solved numerous problems major and minor, particularly pertaining to the newly overhauled magic system and character animations.

A full list of changes can be found in the link to Gitlab.

What is OpenMW?

"OpenMW is a free, open source, and modern engine which re-implements and extends the 2002 Gamebryo engine for the open-world role-playing game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind."

It is an excellent way to play Morrowind on modern systems, and on alternative systems other than MS Windows. It requires the a copy of the original game data from Morrowind, as OpenMW does not include assets or any other game data - it is simply a recreation of the game engine. OpenMW can be found on Flathub for Linux users here. https://flathub.org/apps/org.openmw.OpenMW

Hello everyone!

My first post on Lemmy after long time lurker.

I will buy a new mac in the next week. I’m quite torn between 2 models.

My use case: General computing (web, documents, media consimption) Occasionally: programming + spinning VMs + some gaming

Although I won’t be gaming all the time, I plan to do it ocasionally. Games like Skyrim, witcher3 + MMOs (wow, ff14 or guild wars) DOTA/LOL or similar stuff.

The contenders would be: A) MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro 10 core CPU / 16 core GPU - 16GB RAM - 1TB SSD

• better cooling?
• better SSD speeds and bigger capacity Price = 2450€

B) MacBook Pro 14 M2 pro 10 core CPU / 16 core GPU - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD

• better GPU, but marginal gain? Price = 2499€

Alternatively, I could look at the MacBook Air m2 with 16GB/512GB at 1990€ since it seems it handles this games moderately . However, summer here is hot

Any advice? Furthermore, stocks seem to be low, some models no longer exist and there seems to be no deals

Thanks in advance!!! Looking forward to discussion
