You know I think Dom's death might be the only time I had ever cried over a video game death. Playing Gears 3 the first time and witnessing this scene coupled with Marcus crying broke a lot of fans all over the world. Dom lost his entire family and was still the greatest right hand and brother Marcus could've asked for. A man who's experienced so much pain, loss, and suffering didn't deserve to have to die. We miss you, Dom. ❤

No one ever talks about this but when Marcus hears the first shot ending Maria’s life he stops walking fearing that a second shot might be fired and then he continues walking when he thinks enough time passes and Dom is probably not going to kill himself. Like any good friend would he gives Dom space and waits as long as it takes for Dom to catch up.

Another great video. For me the saddest moment is when Dom finds Maria, I burst into tears. The whole scene was so cinematic and well done that's enough to break your heart when he first sees her in an illusion befor he sees the reality of what the Locust did to her. It's so powerful and yet devastating, it was the beginning of the end of Dom like he had already died along with her before he actually dies in the third game.

Dominick Santiago's death was the saddest, but Tai Kaliso's death was the most emotionally unsettling. Seeing such a powerful person break like that is a surprising and disturbing sight.

@LordRumshi 5 ай бұрын

Tai was certainly a tough gear who managed to survive in the war against the locusts but even the toughest of souls can reach a breaking point. After being captured by the locusts, he likely endured tremendous horrors and when Marcus handed him the shotgun, Tai decided to end his suffering with the sweet release of death. The brutality of war isn’t always on the battlefield but also for those unfortunate souls who become prisoners of war, of which they are at the mercy of their captors and endure tremendous horrors. So by the time Marcus and his squad found Tai, he was already dead but made it real once Marcus handed him a shotgun and ended his suffering.

Mad World playing as Dom sacrifices himself is so impactful. The lyric “The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.” encapsulates exactly where Dom is mentally at that point. His reason to live died with Maria and he longed to be reunited with her in death. The only thing keeping him going was his devotion to his brother Marcus. When Marcus was threatened and Dom saw a way to save him the choice was already made.

Its always a tragedy losing a brother in arms. The carmines are our fallen angels and cole remembering the old days makes you think, who were they all before the war. They weren't all soldiers in the pendulum wars and cole shows us what we might all become in these situations. We fight for our survival whilst losing a part of ourselves. Losing dom was a blade to us all and i even cried a little which i normally dont do. The worst part is seeing bird and cole hearing it and didnt even get to say goodbye. But his sacrifice like many other gears gave humanity a second chance. The gears tory should have ended here and the rest of the games should have been the pendulum wars. A way of honouring the fallen. But the gears trilogy are my favourute and the ofhers i can care less for, theyre okay but for a story these three are my games.

I understand that most people cried during doms death but imo the best death scene was maria. Seeing her 1st happy and healthy from doms perspective to then seeing what she really looks like is such a great way to paint the creators image of what the horrors of war are. Doms death felt kinda rushed in a sense where they could have done something better than him just blowing up. Im not saying that doms death was bad but compared to marias and tais this death is far from a great death scene imo. Great video abs you still keep the gears scene alive.

Even though he didnt live, he still managed to cling to life long enough to get out some final words. The kid was tougher than he was given credit for

Once again, it's a shame the other games in the series couldn't make the cut, and once again I agree with your choices here Abz. Could this also get an honorable mentions video?

I always found Maria's death to be the saddest moment. Dom realizing that killing Maria was a kindness always gets me as a husband.

I always felt that Cole was loosely based on Patrick Tillman, whom was in the NFL (cardinals) but left to enlist in the army following the 9/11 attacks. The official ‘cause of death’ was friendly fire in 2004 and the first gears game came out in 2006.

For me, Maria's death was sadder than Dom's because while his was heartbreaking, he was finally reuniting with her

Did anyone notice that when Dom discovered Maria there was a change of color then turned into the grayish one when he realized what her true condition is? It seemed that during that time, Dom sees Maria in his imagination but Marcus saw the horrible reality until he let Dom know of her predicament.

@Lokii121 Ай бұрын

Dom: Marcus I dont know what to do? I dunno what to do man? Marcus: Dom its ok Hits me everytime, even the look that Dom gives Marcus as he's holding Maria is just done brilliantly, this was Gears at its peak.

After seeing Maria’s death and Dom’s.. my heart reached levels I haven’t felt since May of 2021… (RIP to my brother, sorry but I felt compelled to put this..) it reminds that even in Video games with plots and hypothetical scenarios.. we are still human and see the characters as such, side characters and main characters.. ❤ I loved this and I want to cry.. thank you, Abz ❤

@ginjaninjajohn Ай бұрын

marias death man, that is tough. he spent so long trying to find her not knowing he'd find her like that, damn man everything down to the music, the communication between dom and marcus, the build up and the emotion.

I remember playing gears 1 with my Father; and seeing Tai’s death as a child, I remember being so confused because that was my very first depiction of suicide ever. I was so sad and confused, I remember frantically asking my Father, “why did he do that? Why did he do that!?”. Even he could not explain that to a child, scene still makes me sad thinking about how that actually happens to prisoners of war. Respects to our fallen troops and our COG protagonists❤
