Am I the only one who is playing this game on macbook (or Mac)?

What are Macs?

I initially bought a macbook pro for school work. Since my macbook pro can play the game smoothly, I see no reason why I should buy another computer.

But I pretty much was aware of the PC elitists who consider it taboo and mock anyone who will be playing a game on a mac no matter how smooth the game runs.

I enjoy gaming too much to do it on a laptop. My laptop is running a linux build for school/work purposes.

Don't forget they are just Unix with a shiny coat for an OS.

...or maybe it doesn't matter! Just because you're running the game on a different operating system doesn't make you special. People don't put Windows stickers all over their crap...only Apple customers. We get it, you bought a computer...

Considering a Mac IS a PC, and is really no different from a non Mac Laptop of the same specs if you're running Windows, why the need to feel different by some Mac users, not all, but some. Also, my perspective from using one of the best gaming notebooks there is, it's not smooth even on this thing. So I can't see it running "smooth" on a Macbook, no matter how much you paid for it.

You are missing the point of the thread. This ain't about me being special or not. And for your information, I am not using a different operating system to be playing this game. I am using Windows 7 through bootcamp on the macbook. This game will never work on OSX. Before you mock me, educate yourself first about how macs play games and then come talk to me.

I don't understand why people get upset whenever anybody brings the subject of 'macs' with 'gaming'. As long as they work like a charm on macbooks, I don't see the big deal. But of course, since this forum is full of PC elitists, trolls and people who generally full of hate and like to put different people down, this topic will be getting a lot of negativity and mocking.

Except the post itself makes it seem like you feel you're special. "Am I the only one who uses a Mac"? Is almost synonymous with I use a Mac for this game, i'm special, even if you didn't think that when you made the post. And I say, Macs ARE PCs, so you're actually just playing on an overpriced PC laptop.

Ok, stop that. Nobody said you weren't allowed to like your Mac. I was just suggesting that there's nothing about playing on one that makes you special. AT ALL. You even say in your post that you run Windows 7 to play the game. That's the big joke behind why Macs have no games. Congratulations on emulating an Operating System that lets you pretend you're a PC.

On top of that, Apple fans are the most elite of all! You yourself started a thread wanting to know of others who are playing this game on a Mac. I don't recall ever seeing any "HEY PC BROS DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME ON PC??" threads on here.

Like I said before, there's nothing special about owning a Mac (or a PC for that matter). Get over it.

First, it's not emulating Windows. Second, Macs ARE PCs.

True, I worded that incorrectly, sorry. Either way, installing the AWFUL OS defeats the purpose PC vs. Mac arguments. I can install OSX on my PC, I just choose not to, because Windows does everything I need it to.

What are you? Some psychic? How do you know that I created this thread simply to feel special? As I said, my intention was to know how many others players use a MAC. That was about it. I don't feel special nor do I think I am better than any of you guys just because I use a mac.

I wanted to know if anybody else uses a mac and then you appear from nowhere and claim that I started this thread just to feel special.

Please, if you don't have anything positive to say, except for creating negative assumptions, then go troll on someone else's topic.

Hey man, all I said was that I like playing games, which OSX is clearly really good at since you have to run Windows to play the game. You're the one who started with the "negativity" by crying about PC elitists. I never once said you weren't allowed to own/like a Mac, I just don't because of the reason that I like gaming.

Let's just say I never tainted this wonderful thread with my "trolling" (protip: not everybody who disagrees with you on the internet is trolling), what would you have accomplished with the information? Maybe...20 people play the game on a Mac. So what? What does that information do for you? Prior to this thread, I had no idea you played on a Mac, nor did you know I played on a PC. I just saw people posting on the forums as Final Fantasy XIV players (well, mostly, lol). The information on what you access the game content is useless. Like I've said before, who cares? I don't care if you play on Mac, you shouldn't care that I play on PC. Computers are computers, yours just runs stuff differently than mine.

Sort of. I...see...you getting mad at this reply, because I don't agree with you.

I also see the thread being locked.

Not really? Macs for the last several years use standard PC hardware. They only really have the TPM that sets them apart.

Don't get me wrong, I don't follow EVERY mac machine that gets released on market, so maybe what you said is true, but this was just released last year

Regardless, the thread is pointless and should be locked or closed.

Doctor! You are not alone. I play on my iMac. It took some tweaking of the settings to get optimal resultsd due to the high resolution of the 27" iMac but runs smoothly once this was done. I have had zero issues with most games running high-ultra settings on my Mac in Bootcamp. Heck some of them even play fine using Parallels virtualization now that the new version allows 1GB of virtual video memory.
