Other issue is packet loss. Some games won't take it. (Destiny)

For example, I couldn't play Madden. I could play Destiny, because they're much more forgiving. Borderlands literally unplayable. Very jerky. Sometimes you go a full second without a connection, then the game kicks you or catches up all at once.

It's possible but needs to be considered on a game by game basis.

Any consistent packet loss makes almost any interactive application nearly unworkable.

However, a good broadband wireless network with a good in-coverage-area signal won't have any more than a wired network will. It's not an unavoidable consequence of being wireless-- just an unavoidable consequence of other problems you can have-- bad coverage, interference, etc.
