Needs optimization for Macs
I was excited to see that Simcity for Mac had its own port from the really bad EA version of the game. I had hopes that this would be a more optimized and playable version of the game. Unfortunatly I just paid $30 for a game that was essentially the same as my EA copy without any multiplayer features too. I just wish they took the time to actually do a well ported version of the game. I have a 15’ Retina Macbook pro and I even struggle to play it at medium settings at a 1200x800 resolution. I know the computer isnt getting pushed to its fullpotentiall cause at any given time during the games operation my cpu is anywhere from 70-80% idle. I know these computers are capable of running this game at much higher settings with a more consistent framerate. Especially at that resolution. Hopefully with the updates that they push out with this game, it will become more playable through optimizations Aspyr. As for now though my $30 investment into the game turned into a regret, especially considering I already owned the game from EA. For now id say stay away until they push out more updates that target performance. Its really sad considering its such a great game.
