Finished the campaign. It was f*cking awesome from start to finish. THIS is what a Gears of War game is suppose to be! So, I did this first run through on Normal mode. When I'm up for another go, I will do it on Insane Mode. Even though I f*cked up a few times during the Final Boss fight against the Hive "That" monster, it was still a much easier fight then the one we get in Gears of War 3. That one on normal takes about 20-25 minutes to complete and it's unrelenting. Your forearms fatigue, making things even more dire. Now that I know how to do the Final Boss fight for Gears of War 4, I reckon I could get it done in 10 minutes tops. I'm hoping that when I go Insane Mode, it will serve up more of a challenge. Loved the Bonus scene that comes at the end of the End Credits. I totally was not expecting that at all! Anyway, I Live Streamed 2/3 of the game on Twitch and uploaded all the videos to YouTube if anyone is interested in watching me f*ck up.

One thing I gotta point out. It hit me a couple of days back the trajectory of the series matches up perfectly with the Star Wars franchise. Gears of War 1-3 is on par with the Original Star Wars Trilogy. Gears of War Judgement is the equivalent of the Prequels (Phantom Menace, Clone Wars, Revenge Sith) and Gears 4 is equal to that of The Force Awakens. We get an entirely new cast of characters to move the story forward, but we get a helping hand from beloved characters from the Original Gears Trilogy. I can't wait to see what they have lined up for Gears 5.
