My biggest concern is availability in my region. Since when is 17 out of 50 European countries "most of Europe"?

That said, Digital Foundry's analysis shows a decent input lag, seemingly not significantly worse than native gameplay with v-sync turned on. Although it was conducted on Google's own network. I'd imagine if they do bring it to my country, the ping shouldn't be too bad though.

VR is completely out of the question. We need less than 20ms latency for VR and you don't even get that with regular flat gaming.

Overall, the input lag will definitely be noticeable to anyone who has played with v-sync off and is sensitive to that kind of stuff and it will affect your experience where input lag matters. But honestly, people will still play competitive games locally. Rocket League, Counter-Strike, DotA, LoL, that kind of games will still be played locally as long as we don't get like 1ms latency streaming, which won't happen any time soon. But for games like Assassin's Creed, the v-sync/streaming level of input latency is almost completely unnoticeable, especially with a gamepad.

I hope I roll a 12. That's how DnD works right?

That ad is honestly the thing I want the most haha

There's a ton of reasons. As a kid, it was mostly just entertainment. Then I started enjoying the stories told by games. Then I started looking for challenge and puzzles.

Nowadays, since I don't have as much time to play video games anymore, I mostly play video games to connect with faraway friends. Chatting daily is one thing. Actually getting to interact and do things together, although not physically, is such a fantastic feeling.

There's almost nothing video games can't offer.

I am shaking in excitement. I don't think I've ever been as excited for a video game as I am for the new Animal Crossing.

That game is therapeutic. Can't wait to see what new things they have in store for us.

Tom Nook the new mayor? >_>

I'll wait for benchmarks and whatnot but it seems that the RTX 2070 is a better upgrade than a GTX 1080 and it comes at a lower cost. Colour me interested!

Anyone know what the quirky song with high-pitched vocals before recent GBE streams is? It's so stupid and annoying but for some reason I really want to know what it is.

She's perhaps my favourite duder now. Well, right after Vinny of course.

Sorry Abby, you're almost as good as your boss who is Italian.

I hope this is just a side project spinoff and they're not moving the series over to mobile phones. There's nothing I hate more on phones than playing games on them.

That said... I'm hyped and will probably still pay for whatever this is!

Oh there's too many. But from ones that I actually have planned to eventually play there's Shadow of the Colossus, which I haven't been able to play since I never had a PS2. I'll finally be able to play it once the remaster comes out though.

Then there's Red Dead Redemption, which I wanted to play ever since it came out. Well, I finally bought a PS3 a few weeks ago just so I could do that. Really enjoying it so far (I've just made it to Mexico).

I've started up EVERY SINGLE (mainline, don't know if there's any spinoff stuff or whatever) Legend of Zelda game and stopped about half an hour in. I don't know why I keep trying to enjoy them, they're clearly not for me.

As others have said, it's great to have them, but I don't really miss them if they're not there.

Whenever I play a game, I ignore achievements on my first run anyway. I feel that if I were to focus on achievements before finishing a game, I'd lose all enjoyment I have for what the game has to offer.

But they're a fantastic challenges to come back to later on.
