City of Heroes making the MMOve to Mac

Thank goodness! I was worried this amazingly popular title would never arrive on the mac

Was that a PUN? Well if it was it was TERRIBLE

Excellent! I can finally run CoH on my MacBook with half the frame rate I'd have in Windows under Boot Camp!

If you couldn't tell, I hate Cider. It's useless and has killed many a potential real Mac port.

Port Meridian 59 while you're at it, chumps.

Cross-platform play would be nice like WoW :)

Note to "Mac Developers": No one wants to play your shitty Cider "ports."

Cider is single handedly killing interest in native Mac game development and Mac gaming in general. Dammit Apple, give us an actual solution, get developers off their TransGaming Cider crutch!

Dear Joystiq,

We have observed a splendid spike in newly arriving souls after Randy's use of that particularly dastardly "MMO" pun. Keep up the good work and know you will always have a place reserved for you.

Sincerely,
Hell

The shame is only new macs (maybe some high end older pros) will enjoy the slew of cider ports. We have an intel MacBook & iMac G5 and the crappy integrated graphics (MacBook) & non intel arcitecture (G5) keep us from enjoying games. Not that we bought them for gaming but would be nice. The strength of a mac is in the OS, native (apple) apps and it's ability to better handle professional editing, modeling, music and image manipulation in a more stable environment. Anyone who buys a mac to surf the web is wasting payola. And as such our only PC is a eeePC netbook. We got some older dinosaur PCs with ME & 2000 that have a better shot at gaming than our beefy mac rigs. Nice to see apple giving us a computer at least capable of gaming on.

The title is fine and City of Heroes is a great game.
People are pretty silly here it seems.

City of Heroes was fun . . . four years ago, before it was completely marginalized by World of Warcraft. Why bother porting this aging game now? Does the Mac crowd really represent a large enough chuck of the game playing audience to pursue with such an old title?

Speaking of good games on the Mac that don't require some crappy arcane "wrapper" of computer magic, what's up Blizzard games? I can play World of Warcraft and Diablo 2 just fine on my MacBook. Why are other developers not doing their own ports to Mac when it would actually make a difference?

dear Brodo, Rollins, Xoviet chiK and other whiny, frustrated purist clods - get a life, and get a machine. the more powerful intel macs work pretty much flawlessly, and the recently upgraded MBs and MB Pros will dramatically improve performance. Blame your hardware, not the wrapper. At least Cider is getting more titles to the Mac than any native developer has in years. a good game is a good game. Furthermore, not only does Boot Camp suck and waste time, it's precisely the reason more native ports aren't coming faster - keep buying PC titles, bozos, that'll help things along. Talk about biting off your own noses to spite your faces...
