If this wasn't sad enough, I just watched this in succession with Maria's death scene in GoW 2 and just realized that Anya saying "It's okay" to Marcus is what Marcus also said to Dom when he didn't know what to do about Maria. Broke my legs and put me in a feelchair.
when my brother and I played the games I was always dom and we'd always fuck around and have fun. we didnt play 3 until it had already been put for a long time and when it got to this scene we were both dead silent. kinda like an era of our lives was over
It also doesn’t help the fact that during the pendulum wars, Marcus lost Doms older brother, Carlos. He lost both of them in two different wars while seeing other friends die along the way. I don’t know how he lives with all those ghosts.
There are a few games that made me cry scooters death I'm telltale and his final wish in borderlands and plage tails requiem where you have to put down king hugo yea never knew a game to he soooo fucking depressing thon
man, on Tuesday the fourth game is coming out, me and my dad always bonded over the series. I was always Marcus and he was always dom. he stopped playing after dom's death, we never really bonded on anything else. guess I'm playing this one by myself.
Yeah me and my friend bonded over the first three games. We would even joke with each other when we screwed up like "dammit Dom" or "dammit Marcus always gotta come pick you up!" lol. It just wasn't the same after that :/
I was a loyal "second player" from the beginning so i still had Dom and for nothing in the world I would have wanted to change . In the stories the hero rarely dies, like Marcus. Me in mine my hero is dead :( I had the same reaction as your friend ,I no longer wanted to play Gears after that, and I finished the campaign because my mate insisted.
The ONLY time I've ever cried to a video game was this scene. I was just a little kid playing gears of war with my dad... didn't expect my favorite character to die. Shit even my dad teared up.
I was playing this with friends when it launched and when this happened, 2 of us cried. (I was one of them) If you have been playing this series from the 1st, then you know the feeling...
+Dexter True, games these days just go to the common consumer. They don't try to truly speak to you or convey a message anymore, the ones today are all futuristic. All fast paced, they need to slow it down and bring it back, they have years to develop games, make them good again.
Logan Stein no Cod Mw2 was not that emotional... We never truly got any character developments. Don't get me wrong the scene was good but not as emotional as this one. Damn Dom's death was one amazing gaming moment
Only sad death in halo was Cortana and Johnson mordin from my memory was pretty sad although a little adhd with his wording was a very useful and great character as for gow dom and Marias deaths are the only ones who I really had to hold back tears
+Oscar Provencio OH man, i did exactly the same, feeling that dom and marcus are among the last survivors fighting for hope. When you are playing, u are just a badass killer but u know hope is hard to catch. This scene completly stunned both my brother and I, too much feels. Playing Dom and feeling ready to sacrifice myself for my brother, anytime, because love.
Although not shown in the video, Dom gave his favorite knife to Marcus... Marcus tried to give it back but, Dom just walked to the other lever immediately...
I remember playing this with my friends when we got it for Christmas, we were gonna play the whole campaign together and just when this happened, I can hear every single one of us crying, including myself😔💔I still get the feels today💔
The only times I've cried from a game was Maria's and Dom's deaths. Still hurts every time i see this but more now cause it makes me think of my childhood and the people I've lost Rest in peace for my grandpa who recently passed, he had a great life 🖤 Both gears and his passing has taught me to appreciate the time spent
For me this is the saddest moment in gaming history,and it always will be. Every time i see this i get tears in my eyes. We were 5 on x-box live,after the cut scene we paused the game and didn't say a word for a while. Best game ever,but thx for screwing up with that judgement crap.
epic games sold gear of war to microsoft, theyre the one who fucked up judgement. Epic is on to bigger better things. If they can produce a trilogy this fucking deep, they've got to be capable of creating another masterpiece.
I never cried so much for a character but he was perhaps my favorite character in the franchise. Irreplaceable it felt like I lost my own brother.. Which in a way I did.
I been playing this story since gears 1 it's been years since I seen this moment and to hear mad world as Dom gives his life for Marcus and the team my god the pain and sadness it came rushing back idc what anyone says this game this story it was something I never experienced and will never forget #gearsfanforlife
I especially like this scene because throughout the gears franchise we have come to know Marcus as this bad ass dude who nothing can shake. You can see the pain in Marcus face as we watches his best friend die. He vulnerability in this moment. It's like superman bleeding for the 1st time.
I'm on the middle of my Economics class and it's hard to hide I'm tearing up when Dom talks so casually and peacefully with Maria. Goddamn, fucks me up real good.
Justin Weber anyone that played gears 1,2 and then this one was broken by this scene I played this game with quite a few friends all it did was piss them off and made them wanna kill the queen even more this scene was done so well but it's the saddest thing I have ever seen in a video game it's gonna be pretty difficult to top this one
Man....I remember my first play through of this game. When this happened I was genuinely in shock and actually cried. Dom was such a good character and had been through so much especially with what happened with Maria in Gears 2. One of the most shocking moments in gaming history, for me at least. Second was either Noble Six or when Cortana "died" in Halo 4 I wasn't expecting that either
Me and my brother played through each gears game when they’d come out. I’ll never forget the look me and my brother gave each other when this scene happened.

Tears of War
fuck that is the truest comment ever
😢
Truth has been spoken.
Ikr
Tears of war, the most truest comment ever
I remember playing co-op online at this scene with a bunch of randomers. We were all dead silent when this happened. What a bombshell.
I cried when I played this and still cry watching it
A bunch of randoms? Wasnt gears 3 co op just 2 players tho lol
It was four player co-op.
Nope, four players.
My father and I used to play this with each other and we were in denial that Dom died. We looked at each other in shock.
Five years later still makes me cry
+Realime same
+FoXisPlaces except im not crying just sad
me too
Realime dead ass me too
me 2 me 2
If this wasn't sad enough, I just watched this in succession with Maria's death scene in GoW 2 and just realized that Anya saying "It's okay" to Marcus is what Marcus also said to Dom when he didn't know what to do about Maria. Broke my legs and put me in a feelchair.
DrunkLikeBibleTimes wow I thought I was the only one who noticed
That last "Dom...." at the end.
it's the last one we ever hear
Well until he stabs the Queen that is.
Yes, what about it?
That so painful to me!!
Dom died in Gears of War 2 when he found Maria
Wololo I Un 100w thats deep bro
+Gabriel Sparen hahahahahah
Yep but he had Marcus pushing him on wards for revenge
Wololo l Bruh ur wrong u finished the whole game and dominic santiago didnt he died in 3 but some peopls say in 4
Angel Niz yeah if you think death is when he stops moving then sure but Dom's sould was dead after GOW 2 as it was hard for him to lose his wife.
Teared up, Dom's death for me symbolizes an end of an era for me at least with my real gaming days long gone.
Your gaming days are never over.
@@JayV98 it's true, I was wrong
@@whatever12345101 it’s easy to lose sight of what’s in front of you.
when my brother and I played the games I was always dom and we'd always fuck around and have fun. we didnt play 3 until it had already been put for a long time and when it got to this scene we were both dead silent. kinda like an era of our lives was over
bro its deadass the same here, its 2020 and it still gets to me man
Same here my little brother was always Dom, these days everyone has their own console and living separate lives.
Its heartbreaking when you see Marcus's face he's broken he lost his partner and brother you'll never be forgotten Dom
It also doesn’t help the fact that during the pendulum wars, Marcus lost Doms older brother, Carlos. He lost both of them in two different wars while seeing other friends die along the way. I don’t know how he lives with all those ghosts.
How to cry:
Step1: go on RUclips
Step2: look up Dom's death cutscene
Step3: start crying after the cutscene
It still make me cry...
I cried before, during, and after 😭
This is definitely sad but Maria’s death in Gears 2 is far more emotional to me.
There are a few games that made me cry scooters death I'm telltale and his final wish in borderlands and plage tails requiem where you have to put down king hugo yea never knew a game to he soooo fucking depressing thon
When Marcus said the final
"Dom."
That hit me right in the feels
It's as if he didn't want to believe his life long friend died right before his eyes.
don't know if people agree but I think it was super disrespectful to bring Dom back as a zombie in gears 4 take that shit off
GameHouseMafia it's not a spoiler. He's only a multiplayer character so there really isn't anything to spoil
It is disrespectful,but remember it's a video game.
Gears 3 had costumes. It's not effecting the game play. You gotta light up some times instead of dull colors.
GameHouseMafia no it didn't. That was Gears of War Judgment. Which nobody liked
BitchImFatJesus Oh, lol I was thinking of weapon skins. Can we please not talk about Judgment?
Jesus, If there was anybody in the whole series that needed happiness, it would be Dom.
True that.
man, on Tuesday the fourth game is coming out, me and my dad always bonded over the series. I was always Marcus and he was always dom. he stopped playing after dom's death, we never really bonded on anything else. guess I'm playing this one by myself.

I had the same reaction as your friend ,I no longer wanted to play Gears after that, and I finished the campaign because my mate insisted.
Indeed. He pretty much lost everything.
Almost 4 years, and this scene still gets to me.
+The Chairman 4 fucking years? damn... imma go play gears 3...
7 years now 😢 shit i remember this hit me in the feels when i was a kid which was 11 and now im 18 just.... Wow...
8 years now.
8 years and counting, soon nine
ten years and this scene still gets me
The ONLY time I've ever cried to a video game was this scene. I was just a little kid playing gears of war with my dad... didn't expect my favorite character to die. Shit even my dad teared up.
Skybreaker 0403 lmao dude me too I played gears of war with my dad. Great game to play with a father actually especially the new one
Skybreaker 0403 omg me 2 I was young when I started playing
When I saw Dom drop his gun after the explosive tang disconnected from the truck, I knew what was going to happen.
And I still cried.
Almost 10 years later and it still makes me cry
same...😔
Man, Marcus being in denial about losing his best friend is still one of the most heartbreaking scenes I've ever seen.
One of the saddest moments in video game history
Joe Gervasi nope the saddest
My step dad and I played the last two games together. He was Marcus and I was Dom. Than the third one came out, and I didn't have a character anymore.
I remember becoming dead silent when this happened. Powerful.
same
When we do again this campain with a friend, we're so silencious at this moment too :3
I remember laughing at how overwrought it was
Dom is dead but he comes back as a zombie if you want to play with him pre order the game
its not the same though
I watched this in like 5th grade.. I’m in college now and it still hits the same. RIP DOM
The nostalgia is real with this one 🥹🥹
Every single time I'm fine until mad world starts playing and I just lose it
yeah that and the second marcus screams dom no!
I was playing this with friends when it launched and when this happened, 2 of us cried. (I was one of them) If you have been playing this series from the 1st, then you know the feeling...
All GoW games. I played them all and remember their releases, this gets me into the feels and brings me back. So does Halo man, I miss the old days.
+Dexter True, games these days just go to the common consumer. They don't try to truly speak to you or convey a message anymore, the ones today are all futuristic. All fast paced, they need to slow it down and bring it back, they have years to develop games, make them good again.
+Dexter Yes!!! They need to bring back a ton of old games. No major overhaul but just make them all look better.
+Dexter It is a shame. Hopefully someone eventually notices.
Mass Effect had Mordin, Halo had Noble Six, GOW had Dom.
halo had the cortana and chief scene in a halo 4
that got to me
Lets not forget MW2 Ghost and Roach
Logan Stein no Cod Mw2 was not that emotional... We never truly got any character developments. Don't get me wrong the scene was good but not as emotional as this one. Damn Dom's death was one amazing gaming moment
Are you saying Ghost and Roaches' weren't?
Only sad death in halo was Cortana and Johnson mordin from my memory was pretty sad although a little adhd with his wording was a very useful and great character as for gow dom and Marias deaths are the only ones who I really had to hold back tears
Gone but not forgotten
The most manly tears where dropped with this scene.
I remember playing this game with my little brother and in this scene we both cried like little bitches... Then we hugged each other
+Oscar Provencio GAAAY
You ginger
Matthew Serrano
it's called a meymey
+Oscar Provencio same me and my brother where stun when this happen
+Oscar Provencio OH man, i did exactly the same, feeling that dom and marcus are among the last survivors fighting for hope. When you are playing, u are just a badass killer but u know hope is hard to catch. This scene completly stunned both my brother and I, too much feels. Playing Dom and feeling ready to sacrifice myself for my brother, anytime, because love.
That foreshadow when he takes off his cog tag and puts in on the statue just predicated that he was gonna die later on in the chapter🤔
Although not shown in the video, Dom gave his favorite knife to Marcus... Marcus tried to give it back but, Dom just walked to the other lever immediately...
Maybe it's just me but I'm hoping we stumble across this statue and Dom's COG tags in Gears 5.
i know i wasn't the only one that was dead silent (or crying) when you first played this mission.
I remember playing this with my friends when we got it for Christmas, we were gonna play the whole campaign together and just when this happened, I can hear every single one of us crying, including myself😔💔I still get the feels today💔
Get your tissue box at 2:38
nodinitiative WHO THE HELL IS CUTTING ONIONS HERE
The only times I've cried from a game was Maria's and Dom's deaths. Still hurts every time i see this but more now cause it makes me think of my childhood and the people I've lost
Rest in peace for my grandpa who recently passed, he had a great life 🖤
Both gears and his passing has taught me to appreciate the time spent
"I'm sorry I couldn't bring you home." That line hits way to close to home for me.
2023 and this scene still breaks my heart. RIP Dom
For me this is the saddest moment in gaming history,and it always will be.
Every time i see this i get tears in my eyes.
We were 5 on x-box live,after the cut scene we paused the game and didn't say a word for a while.
Best game ever,but thx for screwing up with that judgement crap.
epic games sold gear of war to microsoft, theyre the one who fucked up judgement. Epic is on to bigger better things. If they can produce a trilogy this fucking deep, they've got to be capable of creating another masterpiece.
When cortina died it's the second saddest thing
You and me both brother
***** cortana from halo mate the chiefs CPU or something
***** Haha ok
And Marcus never got that 20 dollars from Dom.
He did, when you first start in the game it's on the nightstand next to the bed with a note saying "better late then never."
Wrong. He did get that $20. Lol it's one of the collectibles.
Adorable BROFIST
Rip to dom best death ever but hes going to hell by suicide
Horacio Huizar There's a slight difference between suicide, which closes you the doors to heaven, and sacrifice, which ensures you a place there
I remember playing coop on this level in arcade mode and when the cutscene ended it showed dom standing in the fire before starting the next level.
I never cried so much for a character but he was perhaps my favorite character in the franchise. Irreplaceable it felt like I lost my own brother.. Which in a way I did.
Dom: never thought it would end like this,huh? Huh,María?
Me: No 😭😔
#Gearsofwar5
I actually had to stop playing the game for a while after this
Same, I had to take a 3 day break from Gears 3, I just couldn’t bring myself to play it after this scene
I remember quitting the game for 2 weeks when I saw this dom dying broke me
Zyurg same but it was a month for me
Being Player 2 as Dom all the way really broke my heart.
I’ll tell you this…the lunch table was very quite my next day at school.
2019 and those onion ninjas are still following me
Brothers to the end
Dom saved Maria
Legends are dead
in memory DOM
Bye my favourite guy
😞
Mad World - Gary Jules
man.. even though it's fictional this really hit me.
Brothers to the end
Anyone else come here after the Dom/Maria scene they just looked up?
GOW2 brought me here... Dom really died when he did what he had to do that time...
I been playing this story since gears 1 it's been years since I seen this moment and to hear mad world as Dom gives his life for Marcus and the team my god the pain and sadness it came rushing back idc what anyone says this game this story it was something I never experienced and will never forget #gearsfanforlife
As soon as I see this cut scene I tear up I know what's gonna happen me and my cousin played in multiply art and cried rip Dom rip
Didn't think I could ever be so emotionally attached to a video game like I was with the Gears series. RIP Dom.
This by far is the saddest video game scene, including the red dead redemption death scene.
Add RDR2 to the tear list... :(
As a player 2 mainstay throughout the franchise - this is the hardest cutscene I've ever had to watch as a gamer.
I especially like this scene because throughout the gears franchise we have come to know Marcus as this bad ass dude who nothing can shake. You can see the pain in Marcus face as we watches his best friend die. He vulnerability in this moment. It's like superman bleeding for the 1st time.
That awkward moment when Marcus says " dom, no" and mad world starts playing. All the feels coming back. Great games.
I have only just started playing these games, and what a treasure they are. Just finished this act today and this made me cry. R.I.P Dom❤️
who eles cryed?
I sure did
Still am..
Christ, cried.
damn i havent seen this since i played it back in 2012, wow i got teared up infront of my daughter, #gearsforever
Giovanni Rivera I teared up in front of my brother
This scene is surprisingly emotional for a game like Gears Of War
I remember cutting onions while playing that cut scene
Man say what you want about the story of Gears of War but this was hands down the saddest moment in gaming for me.
Dam this gave me the chills. The voice acting was excellent. Still hits me in the feels. Can’t wait for 5
Dom died like a man he saved his friends. Like if you aggree
Wow only three likes, guess barely anyone agrees.
Yeah
This was uploaded in 2011.. What do you expect from likes?
I was young and was playing this on my sisters 360 when I was like 10 and I was deviated and I still am
+Philly Games There's no greater sacrifice than to lay down your life for your friends. Dom's in heaven now.
All around me are familiar faces, familiar places, worn out places.
right in the feels man. I need like my whole life to get over this 5 minute video man.
This isnt to cry over due to the fact he could of easily ran over to marcus and told them to shoot the canister of oil
7 years I cry still RIP Dom I remember when me and my uncle saw this
R.I.P DOM 😢 he was like family to me
7 years later i still cry, i dont just tear up, this will always hit me hard
I'm on the middle of my Economics class and it's hard to hide I'm tearing up when Dom talks so casually and peacefully with Maria. Goddamn, fucks me up real good.
Every vet who loses his friend, "let me go! I have to get him out of there!" Still hits me hard
2017 anyone? Saddest moment in gaming history no over game will have an impact on people then gears
Justin Weber anyone that played gears 1,2 and then this one was broken by this scene I played this game with quite a few friends all it did was piss them off and made them wanna kill the queen even more this scene was done so well but it's the saddest thing I have ever seen in a video game it's gonna be pretty difficult to top this one
Justin Weber 2018
Damn, 2017 and I'm in tears still..... This music is perfect for this tragedy. Deep in the feels....
this is the best heroic death of all the games.
And makes me feel very sad.
The ultimate sacrifice
Still gives me goose bumps after 10 years
damn it Dom why....
WHY!='(
10 years later and it still makes you cry
Man....I remember my first play through of this game. When this happened I was genuinely in shock and actually cried. Dom was such a good character and had been through so much especially with what happened with Maria in Gears 2. One of the most shocking moments in gaming history, for me at least. Second was either Noble Six or when Cortana "died" in Halo 4 I wasn't expecting that either
Please tell me I'm not the only person who still cries watching this
I have friends I've lost over the years. Each one of them feels exactly like this... fuck I'm not crying you are!
Oh, this cutscene silenced my entire parter for a solid 10 minutes. Shook us all.
8 years later still gets me
Almost 7 years since i first saw it and it still gets to me every time i see it.
I almost cried after he died wit the dramatic effect of the music
When this scene first started my first playthrough on release day i just had that feeling he was going to kill himself soon :(
Out of any game ive ever seen, this game brought the kick to all of us that get connected to games.
Me and my brother played through each gears game when they’d come out. I’ll never forget the look me and my brother gave each other when this scene happened.
8 years later and still a tear jerker
4 years later, and I still cry just watching it
same here
get goose bumps always when music start.... and my tears cannot stop :(
Death is harder on those who love you than you your self
8 years ago and it still hurts
i cant wait until gears 4 but there will most likely be no dom
MeditatedYeti i cri every night ;-;
There's no Marcus Fenix also...
come check out my gears UE walkthrough
+MeditatedYeti i got the beta
same here
2017 and dom is still not fucking forgotten cause hes so awesome and gave his life
It's been 9 years since and no original 3 series came close to the feels this gave me 1 to 3 were peak gow.
NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD END LIKE THIS... HUH MARIA
Me:*cries
Who's cutting onions? Still as sad today as it was when I played this game at launch back in 2011. RIP Dom, a true Gear to the end.
