    He lost his kids. His brother. His wife. His entire family. For so long he held on to what he has left. Dominic Santiago refuses to lose anyone else. Rest in peace, Dom.

    I played all the Gears games with my Dad. It was something we enjoyed doing. Playing through the campaigns together. He passed away on November 9th and it hurts that I will never be able to enjoy my favorite series with him again. My favorite memory is playing Gears 3 with him and obviously player 2 plays as Dom. When this scene happened my Dad slowly got up off the couch and loudly said "WELL. Now that my character blew himself up, I guess I am going to bed". I laughed so hard that night. This scene will always be my favorite death of a character not only because it was a beautifully written scene of my favorite series but because it will forever hold a place in my heart with my father.

      @The Amazing Spider-Frizz I hope he does, me and my father playing through the campaign together was some of my favorite memories as we worked together to mow down hordes of enemies. Lots of laughter. We loved to play games together as it immersed us both into a story that we could talk about together and relate to equally as excited.
      Life definitely has been harsh without my best friend and playing any Gears is definitely bittersweet without him but it taught me many life lessons that I can use outside of gaming to connect with my son in the future depending on whatever he takes an interest in

    Every part of Doms story is so tragic and sad. When I first played this game and got to this part where he was talking to his wife I cried a little bit not knowing what was about to happen... and then it happened. And I had to stop playing for like 20 minutes to cry. And I was serving in Afghanistan at the time too going through some shit at the time myself. Dom still is the best character for me.

I'd had it spoiled beforehand so I knew it was gonna happen (just didn't know when), and then when that chapter came up with the name 'Brothers to the End' I was like "oh fuck, here it comes". Still made me tear up. Even now nearly 8 years later it still gives me chills.

    I knew Dom wasn't worried about coming back when he handed his knife to Marcus and didn't wait for it to be handed back to him. He had this in his head for a long time and saw it. He was ready. Some of the subtle things that story tellers do that can easily be missed. I openly wept when Dom had to kill his wife and I openly wept when he sacrificed himself for his friends. Such a heart wrenching scene.

    Dom risked his life to save his squad and be reunited with his family. A true hero. I remember seeing this in Gears 3 and I knew that after seeing what happened when he found his wife and leading up to it in Gears 2, he was going to go senile after losing everything he held dear like friends, fellow soldiers, his kids and now is wife. A true legend who sacrificed himself so that his squad could live. And put his family first before his military life. He was going to be damned if he lost Marcus or anyone else and it was a touching tribute to him that Marcus put his Dominic as JD's middle name. James DOMINIC Fenix in Gears 4. RIP Dom!

      I don't know why it happened but that's why I was confused. Its £8 a month here and I though "hey, I can keep that up, I have more than enough to manage this". Got a few games then about 2 weeks later I found out that all of a sudden have NO MONEY. £40 on one day (according to the bank records I had bought 4 things in the Microsoft Store that were £10 each) and another £20 the next day. Then I checked my transactions on Microsoft's website and it said that I hadn't bought anything.

    I could remember playing GoW 3 for the first time. About a week after it came out. Around that time, I was so excited with games that I'd finish them through within hours. I was about half the age I am now. I wasn't ready. Throughout the other campaigns, I never treated Dom as an actual character. Even when he was reunited with Maria. It really hit me. At the time, my father's death still had a huge impact on me. How someone could be there your whole life, and until the moment they're gone you realize how much they meant. I remember watching this scene for the first time. The second he turned the truck around, my heart had stopped. All I could do was hold my breathe and hope that they wouldn't kill off someone that's been there through it all. When he's speeding through the tunnel, my throat grew tighter. As he dedicated his last words to his wife, "Didn't think it would end this way huh? Huh Maria?" The words that pierced my soul. Realizing that in Marcus' expression, him and us, felt so helpless to the inevitable. I couldn't bear to watch the rest of it. My eyes were pouring rain. I couldn't breathe. To think that a character's fictional death could have such an impact on the consumer. It's truly amazing. I even remember when the trailer came out for Gears 4 and we saw Marcus being choked by the Swarm. I didn't want to experience that same pain, and thankfully it didn't come around
