XCOM 2
Mac performance absolute garbage
I have a late 2015 MBP with the secondary, non integrated graphics card. All settings low. The cut scenes are fine but the freaking isometric, one guy running across a map is a slideshow. So much so that it's copletely disorienting.

Do not buy this for Mac.

It's fine on my machine but I'm on a Mac Pro (trash can) with decent hardware. I didn't buy the machine for gaming though it's what I use for work. At some point I need to just suck it up and put some money into a gaming PC. Because while I can run X2 with no real problems, if I try to record my gameplay I get a full system freeze.

Dont buy a mac! they are horrible price/performance whatever your mac pro can do a pc for the same price can do better!

Oh F off all you Mac haters. I bought a game that was sold as usable for my Mac and it's a piece of unoptimized crap. I'm able to play other games with far better graphics on this laptop without any of this sh|tty performance.

I use this laptop for work. I have a gaming PC at home, but I picked up this game for something to play on the road.

Regardless of platform, this is a sh|tty way to launch a game.

haha PC trolls....anyways, runs ok on my 2011 imac, on lowest settings though but VERY playble! it will probably get fixed in later versions. send them a diagnostic report.
Well at least you can still render ♥♥♥♥ and photoshop and do whatever you mac people do.

I've been on Mac for about 20 years now and I'd much rather use a Mac than a PC. Personal preference/industry standard.

Macs are meant for libraries and Apple Inc. Who in their right mind games on a Mac?

I played XCOM:EU on the Mac. (I didn't have a PC back then, just a PS4 for my games.) The announcement of XCOM 2 is what made me finally pull the trigger and go back to PC (and dump the consoles.)

I couldn't be happier.

Yep they are HORRIBLE Price/Performance and if you really need their OS you can always run Hackintosh

I should be clear: I still have my Mac. No way in hell I'd trust my work to a PC. :)

But Macs suck for games...
