Casual games that no one wants to play? (Sims, left4dead, farmville9000, WoW) Yes.
Good games that use things like the Havok Physics engine and high end video? (Skyrim, Crysis, Battlefield, ect) Lolno.
This is fine though, as the mac audiendce is the casual crowd anyways. Everyone wins.
Edit:
Also > made for the mac
Fuck no, but they may be made for the pc and ported to mac. No game is "made for the mac"

The idea of playing anything more hardware-intensive than Tetris on an Apple computer makes me cringe.

Casual gamer, not casual schedule. The casual gamer didn't have a machine that could run crysis for many years. Derp.

This is a perfect summation.

Source games run badly on Macs in comparison to Windows computers. Feels like going from a PS2 to the alpha release of a PS2 emulator. Also, Crysis is shit painted gold.

Do they? I was excited for the mac crowd when the released the source games for them. I was unaware they ran poorly =( I think everyone should be able to play Portal.

It has nothing to do with schedule, as you can see I included WoW as a casual game, and that is the most scheduled game that exists. Casual games usually have lower sysreqs, so they can run on like 90% of machines. They require little time investment to be "good" and are usually very easy to learn to play. While I agree with you that TIME PLAYED will differentiate casual gamers verses hardcore ones, it was the "strict schedule" part of what you said I didn't agree with.
Really though I don't want to dicuss this point with you anymore, we're pretty much starting up a gay debate over a phrase, and I'm not interested in that. If you don't like what I said it's cool with me, you are just over analysing something I typed up in ten seconds, man. =-P

Portal is super casual, but that is part of what made it so fun! You could just pick it up and go.

I still don't see how Left 4 Dead is a casual-tier game nobody wants to play. Wouldn't TF2 be a better example there? These days it's nothing but hurr durr hats.

@previous (I)
Eh "nobody" really meant "me", like I said I just typed up some shit and hit post. Left4dead feels very casual to me because its all about the quick queue and play for like 45 mins, then log off. TF2 should also be on that list, I agree. Both have pretty low sysreqs, too.

What is the Lolo series? Is it a game (or games) similar to portal?
Anonymous I replied with this 15 years ago, 5 minutes later, 40 minutes after the original post[^][v]#27,869
Ah, I see. Keep in mind though, that Source games are extremely scalable and if you have higher-end hardware, they can be pretty damn detailed.

Ah. I don't like puzzle games very much (Except obviously Portal, as I stated before)

Lolo is Hal laboratories earliest game series. Predates Kirby, and in fact Lolo and his female counterpart Lala are bosses in the Kirby games.
