So these are my updated thoughts on Battlefield 4 since I've played now 91 hours on PC. My opinions have changed, in some ways.
The campaign is actually decent in terms of gameplay, there are great ways to deal with the enemies and tanks, There are multiples way's to deal with tanks like for example: you can put c4 on it, use m2 slam as a trap to detonate, multiples RPG's and launchers are present on the area to use if a tank is present. Same with helicopters, I find it so rewarding, cheating the game by eliminating choppers that carry the enemies, so when you shot it down, basically you just skip a section.
The weapon selection is good, It would have been cool to customize the weapons with camos and different attachments like in multiplayer. But I'm satisfied with what we have. Also, I like to mention that it's pretty neat you unlock some weapons in multiplayer by doing the ending's of the campaign.
So I do have 2 main issues with the campaign:
1.The Story: It feels incomplete, there are some good characters, mainly Irish and Pac. Now when you reach Singapore, and Hannah "betrays" you, "it's supposed to be the only way"according to Hannah. But why?, even after breaking out of the prison and when we are in good terms with her, she never really explains why to Irish and Recker's. The betrayal is when the game story just stops and becomes Tombstone getting back to the ship, while getting there, You form a bond with the 2 remaining squad (Pac is presumably killed in a cutscene and mentions that he's not in the prision, and later is revealed, that he just went back to the ship, alive and well) so at the end of the campaign, you do feel bad no matter who you choose.
Also in a Story, where the main focus is Tombstone as a squad, and you are Recker's the leader after the previous one died. It would have been a great choice to make a Recker a character, rather than a silent character, like even with "the engage mechanic" every ally in the game, apparently communicates telepathy with Recker, because he doesn't say anything. Like, at least make him talk in the cutscenes loading the missions. If I'm not mistaken, battlefield 3 had a voiced protagonist.
2. The AI: The Ai for both allies and enemies are so late to detect and kill you. The engage mechanic, unless is the tank at the beginning of Singapore, will never work because the AI can't kill anything. The enemies, even for hard difficulty, are fine to fight, but sometimes they behave in weird ways, like moving around a lot for no reason.
Honorable mention: The swimming sections in the campaign they just don't work, It's apparently a bug, Because it's so bad
So the multiplayer: It got better, I have now tried the engineer class, and it's a lot of fun fixing allies tanks, destroying enemy tanks.
I love the P90 and the Deagle they feel so good to use. The sunken dragon, Propaganda and Operations outbreak (the jungle map in the mountain) are some of my favorite maps in the game. I'm now level 53, and I still want to play more, but I'm going to take a break, I will pick up later, I want to get max level in this game.

COD on phone, sure it's got the best of the fan-favorites, it isn't doing something new to make me play it over the console version. It's impressive that it works on a phone, and it's better than free fire, so.....

It was alright. A great idea to expand the clash of clan IP.

I have tried to get into this game, like for the last 10 years. And never understand it enough, to be like "yeah this is my village". The character design and the overall aesthetic of the game is fantastic. Just the gameplay loop isn't my type.
This game is one of the best mobile's game, I have ever played. Doing Jotaro's(Part4) time stop in a matching titles game and making it exciting should be an example that any mobile license-game can be great if you get the idea about what makes it cool. My favorite team to use was Fugo and Okuyasu, using purple haze and The hand in a team combo, and the fact that it felt good.
The Hotel feature was great, to make your Favorite Jojo's character live in a room you make was an awesome idea.
The excitement of getting the characters of part 5 in the game, as the part 5 anime went on air, are still some of the best memories of playing live-service games I have.
I still miss the game, sure it wasn't super free-to-play friendly, But it doesn't deserve to be forgotten or to be a lost media game. Especially since Jojo's has reach pretty much mainstream success and gacha's games are having more global releases. Hoping this isn't the end of this game and gets another chance.

The King of Fighters All-stars is the Best Free-to-play Gacha, I have ever played. There are Tons of ways to get your favorite Character OP with great cards setup to have some fun in the early game. You can actually beat some high levels in the story, with some low level characters, if you play smart or super tryhard. Some of the King of fighters' characters get at least one outfit, that will make you say "I wish this a mod or an official design in the main games".
There are some awesome collabs like Gintama, Samurai shodown, Tekken, Street fighter, DOA 6 and Virtua fighter. That if you catch the event, you will most likely get the one you want the most, just by playing the game. And the collabs aren't just cheap wallpaper, no, I think the collabs are great and offer the best of the feature franchise, This game allows having Devil Jin, Jacket Jin and Flame Pants Jin in one team, Honoka doing Kyo's DP and Benimaru's rekka, Gintama character's making jokes about KOF lore and games like they belong in the franchise. That makes doing the events feels no like a chore, more like a grind.
This grind is great when the events and early game rewards you, with a lot of resources to make you stronger and rubies to gamble. I have spent 2 years grinding(2020-2022) in this game, and today when I logged in, it was still worth it, since my op's characters stood the test of time and multiples updates of the game since I stopped playing. As you can tell, there's a point where the grinds become a chore with no great reward, and great gameplay ideas just basically become cookie clicker. Free to play becomes extremely hard when you have to depend on events and collabs to give you rubies.
Don't get wrong, this game is super Free-to-play friendly and I recommend it.
If you want to start on the gacha games, this is a great starting point, to learn habits and master the free-to-plays ways you may need on your others gacha games.

The puzzle Kombat/10, also UMK3 is there on DS so that's a plus
I liked this game more than the one on console(I'm referring to the 2008), I played at least 10 times, but I have to replay it again to give it a fair review.
So I've finally played it, the Texas Hold 'Em poker game by telltale games. I never really played Texas Hold 'Em poker before, so this was a first try by actually giving it a chance. The big reason as for why, is because of the video essay's on it by meikkon. What a free thinker that I am, anyway let's get on it.
I did learn the game a bit, to actually win a few Tournaments on Normal difficulty, I got all the tf2 items in-game by knocking the opponents when they bet their items (that don't mean anything because I played this by the offline version), surprising there are more custom items you can unlock by winning the tournaments like card skins (there's a Sam and Max, a tf2 witch is my favorite, a strong bad set and more), a table theme (my favorite is the automata theme that changes the whole scene to black and white). I always love extra things like this. It's what makes want to go back to play a game that I can customize the experience.
The dialogue gets repetitive quick, but you can shut the character. In my experience, The winning quotes by Strong Bad got annoying. The cast is perfect, I think I got a crush on Tycho because of the voice actor cocky delivery on the lines that makes "I'm a gamer that chooses to live many lives" super tame. I kinda get the hate for Tycho, and the giraffe line makes Tycho seems borderline insane. But I wouldn't have it any other way, The banter in this game is fun listening a couple of times.
The animations have some of the typical telltale engine problems that you can find in any telltale game of the time, sometimes I can never see Tycho eyes in his smirk face. But the charm makes for it, like Heavy animations are spectacular.
I haven't unlocked everything in the game, but I think this games deserves a chance if you like the concept. It is a shame that you can't can buy this game anymore, and the concept of poker night's dream matches between characters of different franchises isn't being expanded. At least make it with telltale franchises or indie titles.

Good game, it got like 3 connections to the actual movie. It has some good scares imo. The pause menu is a banger, but the soundtrack as a whole is good.
This game feels so movie-game racing. I liked the game story more than the movie.
I hate Herbie with my heart and soul, so Nothing personal.
