Playing native games on your Mac; Playing PC games with Bootcamp; Playing PC games using virtualization software; Playing PC games using a wrapper (Wine) Let’s get down to it! Playing native games on your Mac. This one is quite obvious, but I did say I would cover all methods! The easiest way to play a game on your Mac is with native games. I run windows games on my Mac using Parallel's. Though you need more powerful machine and not all games work properly. But I try demo's first and if the demo works the game works. I can't get my machine to install windows I've tried for 4 days. If I REALLY wanted a PC game I could play it on my PC. But honestly there is no game I want that bad.
You will need to install steam in windows once you have booted bootcamp/windows. Then log into your account and your PC games will be there.

The one problem I have a lot with some games is the mouse/LOOK around in RPG is real jumpy - so you can't really aim. Kinda strange since I can play very high res on most and all options on.
Tomb Raider was a little jumpy. So I got the Mac version when it came out. I just tried the MASS EFFECT demo ( I try to get demo's first to test them).
And it's REAL JUMPY when you use the mouse to look around and aim. Otherwise the frame rate is real good. Any ideas how to fix that? I have 12 gb ram - I allocate 4 to parallels, and 1 MB to video ram. Would it help to give it more ram?
Originally posted by:Febrauary 11th Apple updated bootcamp to work with Windows 8.1 standalone. I had been waiting for this to come out for awhile, and now that it has, I've been able to play PC specific games on my Macbook pretty successfully. Currently play Batman Arkham Origins and it runs very smooth. Late 2013 15' Macbook Pro i7 2.3Ghz 16GB w/ dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. 2 things that made me go 'Ew' 1.
Batman Arkham Knight on PC. That♥♥♥♥♥♥is disgusting compared to how it looks on console. Very bad port 2. Integrated GPU.

A PC is a better option for gaming because it is cheaper and you don't have to pay for an OS (unless you are building) just to run specific games as well as the fact that 99% of the time PC's are cheaper. Please don't hate on me. I'm just trying to help out as best I can money wise.
Please note: I do see things that Mac can do better than a PC - Not sure how this comment is relevant with the question: 'Does 'Boot Camp' make Pc games in Steam work on a Mac?' People here obviously already have a Mac for whatever reason. Telling them to go buy a PC is irrelevant and the opposite of 'trying to help out as best I can money wise.' Same applies to telling how disgusting Batman looks on mac compared to console. A positive approach is always more helpful.:) Peace.
