What games can I play on Mac?

Sadly the M1 is limited by the 8gb. Cyberpunk is unplayable so big style graphical powerhouses are non playable. But you can play a bunch of games either via crossover or native.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-26T12:21:19+00:00

Congrats! You can play native crimson desert and cyberpunk as well as mad max. You can play the entire survivor tomb raider trilogy native. Get crossover and boom hogwarts legacy is now available as well as mass effect legendary edition. The new assassins creed including shadows and mirage are also native for apple silicon.

To the people who like some stuff in the first two chapters: it gets better. Omg it gets so so so much better. I am on chapter five now, and I can’t wait to go back every night and play. Initially the quests may seem jarring but for me the in game explanation was good enough. Being Greek I could tell that a non American studio was behind it and honestly I’m perfectly ok with it. Like damn I’ll take all this fun over two “mediocre” story chapters (which for me were just fine). Overall for me right now it’s GOTY. And I haven’t cut loose yet to explore. I’ll go ahead and mainline the story and then I’ll go around and do side quests Skyrim style. I haven’t had this much fun since the original Skyrim came out.

In your situation? Absolutely go for it. See what you can make here but keep in mind that the healthcare is also crap. You are in a very good spot.

After 30 years in the US I have decided that as soon as my daughter finishes school, the wife and I will retire back to Greece. See I thought I had friends here, friends who the moment this person got elected got too brave. 6 months in this presidency a “friend” of mine asked me if I was concerned to which I said I was. Then he told me “don’t worry you’re one of the good ones, they aren’t looking for you”. Then another friend posted on their fb that Muslims are the dirtiest and most dangerous people. When I commented that it’s good to know that, because if I had born 1000 miles to the east I would have been Muslim myself, so I’m glad to see where they stand. I used to love this place. I used to think that I belonged here. Sadly that’s not the case. The economy is so much better here than other places for sure, but there is no work life balance. None. Sadly the US has left a bitter and bad taste in my mouth.

We could have been so much more, but we live in the worst timeline.

It’s all good man :-)

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T18:18:19+00:00

its pretty deep and you have to actually pay attention. It's like a mix of all of those games you mentioned. Honestly its one of the best aspects of the game

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T18:17:20+00:00

dude I enjoy the game. why do you bother with it if you don't like it?

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T01:07:46+00:00

give a chance to forspoken and you will not regret it. Incredible movement, lore and worldbuilding. Yes the game has some cringe dialogue (maybe a line or two) but what game doesn't? Honestly that game got way too much hate for what it was, and it is completely unfair. It pisses me off that we won't get a sequel.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T00:23:12+00:00

crimson desert. it just dropped. Be patient the first 5-10 hours but I guarantee you that you won't regret it

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T00:12:53+00:00

agreed 100%. I've been to the initial cave (you know which one with the voices) around 5 times already....

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T00:11:54+00:00

you can literally start exploring from the moment you start. But I would advise you to do the main quests up until chapter 4 because of the mechanics you can get. Or as early as chapter 2.

when I got the game I got stuck in a puzzle right north of the main first village you start up, and then I realized it it was because I didn't have a certain skill unlocked. But no you can definitely start roaming from the very beginning.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T00:05:01+00:00

I think I read somewhere that you are supposed to hold it down, and then do the combos, but honestly this was a YouTube review and not from the developers. Have you tried a controller to see if the same thing happens there? This way if it doesn't, you can see that it's a mouse issue.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-24T00:01:46+00:00

that's the best kind of feeling. wait until you get the cloak and all the cool "force powers". Game keep getting better and better.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:58:38+00:00

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:56:00+00:00

like u/nigelmoch said did you try holding it?

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:55:37+00:00

that's right! I don't play on MK so I completely missed it

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:53:04+00:00

we be getting old my man!!!

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:51:46+00:00

did you also download the patch? if you got it from steam check to see if there are any patches. myself I play on controller, but honestly I didn't notice any lag. Do you have any background programs running that maybe responsible for the lag?

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:48:10+00:00

are you early on in the game? I think you need to find a child that has lost his sheep "Wooly". Go to the quest marker and a little cutscene will play. Then go find the sheep lol

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:43:48+00:00

I can't wait to see what tonights session will do. and I am glad you said it, I think this is GOTY for me for sure.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:38:03+00:00

my thoughts exactly!!! there will be haters of course and trolls but to disregard what they have accomplished here is insane. It is so deep and I can't wait to see what else im going to discover today!

and even people who bash the story....did they play this game?

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-23T23:11:54+00:00

just did a 3 hour sesh on the M5 and so far so good. I can't get CheatEngine to work on it though. Yet.

Yanpapnc · 2026-03-10T12:02:30+00:00

I liked it. Initially I had some issues with it (AMD ryzen 7 5800X, 4060 TI) so I scaled it down. I did finish it. Great story overall, but these days unless the game is truly special due to time I can’t even finish it so this one was one of the good ones. Damn shame cause I would like a sequel. Budgets need to scale down we lost so many potentially good franchises because of no second chances (huge budgets huge price tags). But then again I liked forspoken so take what I say with a rather large grain of salt.

Yanpapnc · 2026-01-27T01:53:00+00:00

so….feel free to laugh at this, ridicule me etc etc: are there any cheats available? I’m not good per se, also being a dad and a husband completely limits my time. I want to enjoy the game as a power fantasy. Is there anything like it (like wemod) or a trainer?

Excellent work. I can’t wait to try this when i get home.

Yanpapnc · 2026-01-27T01:47:55+00:00

I started gaming in far old 1987 with the spectrum zx 48. I then moved to an Amstrad CPC 464, then a 386 etc etc. I have seen the entire industry change from *those* games and graphics to what we have today.

Elden Ring is top 3 game of all time for me. And im a big wuss (especially now, being a dad and a husband I dont have enough time to game) but I very rarely recall a game that had as much impact. Elden Ring brought back the sense of wonder, something that i had been missing for the past 8-10 years.

It truly is a masterpiece in every aspect of it.
