Oh good, more charging for things that shouldn't cost money. Oy... Startin' to think I made the wrong console choice.
Honestly, I wish this wasn't happening? The idea of gaming going the way of Netflix has always been one I dislike due to the nature of input lag making games of any mechanical depth harder to play. How do I perfect parry in MGR through buffers
Problem is, depending on your connection, it honestly isn't as bad as you say. I haven't played super mechanical games on PS Now, but the few I have (that I pride myself at being skilled in) haven't given me many issues. Then again, I have invested in quality wireless hardware throughout my house so I may be in the minority (along with having great internet).
I've seen people try Ninja Gaiden with decent internet and there's definitely lag, little as it may be. Check out Saur's posts on it sometime or Mike Kobb's.
No I totally get that there ARE issues, but as Nova mentioned earlier, many treat this as a fix for backwards compatibility for now. For me, its better than nothing. Still not ideal, and the payment system is awful. If they fix that and improve the lag, this could be amazing. I don't expect anything at this point though.
Oh, I wasn't arguing from the BC perspective! Just the "streaming games is the future!" idea this enforces. As a BC option, it's as valid a BC option as the Virtual Console I guess...?
