Dom's death really messed me up in middle school. Left a mark on me for a few days I can't lie. Grew attached to him and felt just as bad as Marcus did. Very well done scene. The music was perfect too. Jeez watching it now made me lowkey emotional lol. Can't wait to play as Zombie Dom in Gears 4
Gears of War holds a very special place in my heart. My dad got my two bros and i into it with the first one many years ago, then we played through Gears 2 and us four played wave upon wave of Horde mode, we bonded with Gears of War and played many of hours just having fun in it just us four and bots. My dad passed back in 2010 and i have found it that i have to get every Gears game and play it for him. No matter how bad the game may be (Judgement), i have to play it.
real talk I had a little tear cone out. especially because my uncle passed away and I beat every gears game together on co-op mode. I'm going to have to go in this one solo.
real gears fan, hated that scene, and will always keep it in their deepest memory for whenever you think of brotherhood and true love. that scene still haunts me to this day, that plus the red wedding... damn
unstoppable me and a friend have been playing through gears on coop and fit was my first time, and when Dom died I was just so sad I probably woulda cried if I wasn't in shock, and plus I'd been playing as Dom since the beginning, I really felt that one
Yeah it was the first time in a game I felt heart broken. I wanted to change it so badly. Now looking back I appreciate what they did and how they made players feel.
Sony God Halo 4's multiplayer was decent imo. Can't do halo 5 since it feels more catered to competitive gaming and it's false advertised campaign where they had everyone believe that Locke and Chief would duke it out only to have 1 cut scene of a cat fight. It was halo 2 campaign all over again.
They started production of a movie ages ago but production was halted and the film canceled. They've recently announced the production of another movie however which gives me a shit-ton of hope for the future.
Gears of War was the game that made me buy an Xbox and it's a franchise that marked me so much. Its story and characters are a terrific mix of badass and emotional moments. Just epic.
+Someone YouDontKnow Her death is the reason for Dom's depression, the reason he decided to sacrifice himself. The man no longer had the will to live. That makes her a very important character.
The Intro sound at the beginning gets me everytime. nostalgic, remembering doing campaign with my sister and especially the big abandoned warehouse mission in Gears of War 2, just plundering through it's glory sneaking into every back room and collecting it's secrets (hearing that noise). It was a real adventure. Dom was a brother to us all Gears fans, he stuck by our side for most of the journey.
Absolutely love the innovation of this series. The chainsaw lancer is amazingly fun, the executions are a huge part of the game and extremely rewarding to pull off, and every game they add new creative executions and fun new weapons among other things. That's what I love about this game besides the solid story.
i remember playing with my brother and when dom died i saw a tear go across my brother's face, we played all the games in order so we had a connection with the game.
One of my fav game series! Lancer, long shot and torque bow are my weapons of choice. So many things to love about this game. Can't wait to get and play Gears 4.
I absolutely love the gears of wars games! Gears of war 3 is my favorite by far but gears 4 is pretty nice too. Horde 3.0 is fun too, I hope they keep up support for it for a long time:
Brilliant feature Kish! Reminded me why the first 3 Gears on 360 were some of my favourite games off all time. I'm now really thinking about getting an X Box One S next week for Gears 4, Gears Ultimate Edition and Forza H3.
Gears of War got me into gaming when I was little, it was basically my childhood game, and it satisfies me to know that just something as simple of a game can make a person emotional like the Dom death scene and that one Marcus Fenix scene in the mine in Gears 4. And they say Xbox has never had a good exclusive.
Well done gamespot you got a very good hold on what made gears my favorite game dynasty. When Dom died I sat there with a tear in my eye. it was a perfect gaming moment especially with "Mad world" magic sound track. Coalition did amazing job with GOW4, it brings back all the things I loved from GOW2. Also one of the things that made gears gears was the great voice acting especially John dimmagio.
I remember when I played Gears 3 with two friends. I've never heard them as quiet during the game as when Dom died. awesome game :D can't wait to play it!
good job to all those who who put this video together. I just got done playing through the gears of war trilogy and am downloading gears of war 4 now (pre-load). And this video made me more hyped for when gears 4 goes live!
i remember buying the first Gear of war game for only 5 dollars at game stop, so i naturally didn't expect much from it and actually thought it would a bad game but it blew my mind away because of how good the story was and quickly fell in love with the characters. cant wait for gears 4!
I think what makes Dom's death so painful is not just that you get immersed to the story but the fact that I played this whole series with my sister. She's my Marcus and I'm her Dom. When Dom's death scene happened I felt like I lost a piece of me. and to see Marcus (and sister!) mourn for Dom's death... damn it just gives me a knot on my throat. I carry my COGs with me every day as a daily reminder of that bond with my sister. Brothers to the end.
Ten years ago I was a 23 year old young man single staying up all night playing gears. Now I'm married with 2 kids, time flies, spent most of my adulthood with this series .........I've had the game since the 7th and I haven't even taken my xbox one out of the plastic yet lol. Good memories from all the gears games (save for judgment)
When Dom died, that was a very emotional moment for the series. I think it was a good call in order to have an emotional story. But the way he died was not reasonable. He sacrifice himself by jumping into a truck and ramming it into a tanker full of Imulsion to kill the overwhelming number of Lambent. He could have taking the truck, picked up his teams mates, and they all could have drove away from the incident safe and sound. The way he died was not logical.
I thought it was really disrespectful that Anya's death is just glossed over in Gears 4, I mean Dom gets at least 3-5 minutes for his death to play out, not only that but Maria's death gets more screen time too, but Anya- a character we've interacted with for 3 games (for years) is just dead without even a single hint as to what happened.
Did anyone else NOT cry at Doms' death? I mean, I almost did at that moment, but it still wasn't enough to make me cry. And yes, I have played all the games leading up to it, as well as saw it when I was 11. It was still a sad moment I admit, but I think people are blowing it way out of proportion.
My ranking - and I was just just introduced to these games last years. I love these games, so ranking them is hard. 1 - GoW 2 2 - Judgement (this was a really fun game; probably unpopular putting it this high) 3 - GoW 4 (liked fighting the DBs, plus it was funny at times) 4 - GoW 3 (did we really need to fight that many corpsers??? Oh, and Lambent Beserker is just evil!) 5 - GoW Ultimate (last only b/c you face 3 bezerkers; hate them so much). My rankings sometimes change but GoW 2 has been constantly at #1.
First gears was without doubt the best, when dom died it was like losing a brother myself, but first gears online cannot be replaced, three and four were ok but, what can I say looking forward to gears 5, but only the campaign!😈
1. What's the second song playing in the background (the one that starts at 2:45)2. Gears of war(1,2,3,4, judgement, and it's currently not out yet but 5 as well) is the best shooter of all time in my eyes
Gears of War: Judgement was meant to be easier to play so people could get intoduced to the game with its casual player button configuration and shorter story.
Legit just cried when she made me remember Dom... as happy as I am with Gears Of War 4 with being able to see new and old faces... one thing hit me... Dom is still dead... I won't be able to see him again...
ikr I mean yea I can agree tht its not a "Gears" game but it was still pretty good. I loved Horde mode in the series so the campaign felt like Horde mode had its own campaign. Which made me like it.
the campaign (which was the main focus of the Gears games) sucked... the multiplayer imo was fun...but sicne the campaign sucked it ruined the Gears franchise imo. thats why it's hated.
Dom's death really messed me up in middle school. Left a mark on me for a few days I can't lie. Grew attached to him and felt just as bad as Marcus did. Very well done scene. The music was perfect too. Jeez watching it now made me lowkey emotional lol. Can't wait to play as Zombie Dom in Gears 4
Hit me right in the feels
you get to play it early....I can too 😁😁😁😁
hit a lot of us bro
never forget!!
Dom was and is my favourite character. I was beyond devastated too!
Gears of War holds a very special place in my heart. My dad got my two bros and i into it with the first one many years ago, then we played through Gears 2 and us four played wave upon wave of Horde mode, we bonded with Gears of War and played many of hours just having fun in it just us four and bots. My dad passed back in 2010 and i have found it that i have to get every Gears game and play it for him. No matter how bad the game may be (Judgement), i have to play it.
same story with me and my dad and brothers, person connection to the game
Mackenzie Braden judgement is dope
FR3SHtillD3ATH1 I only ever played its beta because its a spin-off title and never really saw any relevance in it at all.
Well 4 ain't much as far as multiplayer
Mackenzie Braden sorry for your loss
real gears fans shed a tear or two when Dom sacrificed himself... brothers till the end.
real talk I had a little tear cone out. especially because my uncle passed away and I beat every gears game together on co-op mode. I'm going to have to go in this one solo.
real gears fan, hated that scene, and will always keep it in their deepest memory for whenever you think of brotherhood and true love. that scene still haunts me to this day, that plus the red wedding... damn
unstoppable me and a friend have been playing through gears on coop and fit was my first time, and when Dom died I was just so sad I probably woulda cried if I wasn't in shock, and plus I'd been playing as Dom since the beginning, I really felt that one
Yeah it was the first time in a game I felt heart broken. I wanted to change it so badly. Now looking back I appreciate what they did and how they made players feel.
Amen
I swear Gears 2 was the best one. Best story imo
Damn Gears 3 was so good too though. Great series
Campaign - Gears 2
Multiplayer- Gears 3
xVenomzzz agreed
in GoW2, riding tank, reaver and brumak is damn fun xD
Online multiplayer. Gears 1 all day
Campaign- ALL
Multiplayer- Gears 2(real gears fans will agree)
Everything about Gears of Wars is Epic
No its not, its the Devs who made it, and most of them moved to the coalition
Yes gear of war is Epic
can we just forget about judgement its not a gears game imo XD
i kinda liked halo 4 but stopped at it :/
Sony God Halo 4's multiplayer was decent imo. Can't do halo 5 since it feels more catered to competitive gaming and it's false advertised campaign where they had everyone believe that Locke and Chief would duke it out only to have 1 cut scene of a cat fight. It was halo 2 campaign all over again.
this series could make an amazing movie
hbo series
the announced that they team up with universal studios to work on the movie. it's confirmed.
They started production of a movie ages ago but production was halted and the film canceled. They've recently announced the production of another movie however which gives me a shit-ton of hope for the future.
It’s happening
@@JRSmileyFace link?
5:15
...yeah that's not Gears of War 2006. That's Gears of War 3.
when dom died my brother and dad got tearful
patrick Ramos the power and immersion from video games.
Yeah too sad just it hits right there man
when dom died, i chainsawed my xbox out of sheer rage
when he died i stopped playing for a week...couldnt believe..up to this date it brings me tears
What about when kait from gears 4 is revealed to be the locust queen's granddaugter.
10:35 where real men cried
Kurdati totally agree
😢😢
I honestly couldn't help but feel bad about that.
Gears of War was the game that made me buy an Xbox and it's a franchise that marked me so much. Its story and characters are a terrific mix of badass and emotional moments. Just epic.
So you don't spoil that Maria died in the second game, but you show Dom's death? Nice.
Brent Ross thats cause Maria isnt that much of a significant character in the series
+Someone YouDontKnow
Her death is the reason for Dom's depression, the reason he decided to sacrifice himself. The man no longer had the will to live.
That makes her a very important character.
Dom's end is the most significant scene in the series, and this is the history of. If your concern is spoilers, you are looking for problems.
but it shows dom getting a tattoo of an angel with marias name kinda gives it away
Brent Ross I mean, if you haven't played the game after 5 years than you really shouldn't be mad that it gets spoiled eventually.
This game is truly a masterpiece! I grew up with this game and it is really a piece of art.
The Intro sound at the beginning gets me everytime. nostalgic, remembering doing campaign with my sister and especially the big abandoned warehouse mission in Gears of War 2, just plundering through it's glory sneaking into every back room and collecting it's secrets (hearing that noise). It was a real adventure. Dom was a brother to us all Gears fans, he stuck by our side for most of the journey.
The best third person shooter with darkness yet heart
Judgment isn't a gears game to us hardcore fans. it's like that one failure sibling that your parents never bring up at any family events.
eh they are just skins
Brief Keef Skins don't define the game.
Hank Hill it’s been two years but Are you Hank Hill a gears of war fan
Absolutely love the innovation of this series. The chainsaw lancer is amazingly fun, the executions are a huge part of the game and extremely rewarding to pull off, and every game they add new creative executions and fun new weapons among other things. That's what I love about this game besides the solid story.
That iconic sound in the first few seconds of the video. Brings back memories
i remember playing with my brother and when dom died i saw a tear go across my brother's face, we played all the games in order so we had a connection with the game.
dom had one of the saddest death in gaming history
Lee from Telltale's Walking Dead would like a word with you
Thanks Gamespot for this bit of nostalgia and recap. You guys are the Triple-A of game journalism. Keep it up. Just miss Dany.
One of my fav game series! Lancer, long shot and torque bow are my weapons of choice. So many things to love about this game. Can't wait to get and play Gears 4.
Brings back hella memories after school go to my homies house play some halo & gears of war. Mind you this was the first generation Xbox.
Personally, Gears 2 was my favourite out of the series.
I like the original, personally. Then 2.
really well done vid. Gears 2 is my fave and I'm very hopeful for Gears 4
Really well made video! This was so nice to watch as someone who has completed the trilogy loads of times! Thanks GameSpot for the video!
Three days until Gears of War 4, baby! Whoooo!
I absolutely love the gears of wars games! Gears of war 3 is my favorite by far but gears 4 is pretty nice too. Horde 3.0 is fun too, I hope they keep up support for it for a long time:
Best series ever
Brilliant feature Kish! Reminded me why the first 3 Gears on 360 were some of my favourite games off all time.
I'm now really thinking about getting an X Box One S next week for Gears 4, Gears Ultimate Edition and Forza H3.
Gears is the best game I’ve ever played.. started since gears 1 and to see how far it has come is crazy.
Gears of War got me into gaming when I was little, it was basically my childhood game, and it satisfies me to know that just something as simple of a game can make a person emotional like the Dom death scene and that one Marcus Fenix scene in the mine in Gears 4. And they say Xbox has never had a good exclusive.
Well done gamespot you got a very good hold on what made gears my favorite game dynasty.
When Dom died I sat there with a tear in my eye. it was a perfect gaming moment especially with "Mad world" magic sound track.
Coalition did amazing job with GOW4, it brings back all the things I loved from GOW2.
Also one of the things that made gears gears was the great voice acting especially John dimmagio.
Well done GameSpot hit this coverage right on the head.
I remember when I played Gears 3 with two friends. I've never heard them as quiet during the game as when Dom died. awesome game :D can't wait to play it!
good job to all those who who put this video together. I just got done playing through the gears of war trilogy and am downloading gears of war 4 now (pre-load). And this video made me more hyped for when gears 4 goes live!
dom sacrificing himself to save the team was the most memorable moment in gow series, my personal favorite video game moments of all time!
when she said "please be good" damn I lost it there
i remember buying the first Gear of war game for only 5 dollars at game stop, so i naturally didn't expect much from it and actually thought it would a bad game but it blew my mind away because of how good the story was and quickly fell in love with the characters. cant wait for gears 4!
I think what makes Dom's death so painful is not just that you get immersed to the story but the fact that I played this whole series with my sister. She's my Marcus and I'm her Dom.

I carry my COGs with me every day as a daily reminder of that bond with my sister.
Brothers to the end.
doms death made me legit cry the first time I saw it
Aw nothing about RAAM's Shadow? It made RAAM's first appaerance in the game much more interesting.
Ten years ago I was a 23 year old young man single staying up all night playing gears. Now I'm married with 2 kids, time flies, spent most of my adulthood with this series .........I've had the game since the 7th and I haven't even taken my xbox one out of the plastic yet lol. Good memories from all the gears games (save for judgment)
The second game was the best. The first game is nothing but turrets everywhere.
Michael Sanchez every gears was special, all master pieces
Michael Sanchez 3rd was the best. They literally perfected everything at the time. Gears 4 is looking good, hope it lives up to its hype *_*
gears 3 added too much
Nah 3 was the best
agree 2nd is the best
Who still plays the first and second games for dom
Dude i played gears,halo,CoD,Fallout,and other great games all through my childhood and still.
New and my niece are going through all the games at each difficulty level. We've started the second round through. We're on Gears 2 now.
it's been about 5 years, and my heart still always breaks a little when Dom sacrifices himself...
first video i actually liked from gamespot...well done gamespot well done
A game set in the pendulum wars might be pretty fun.
Every time I see Dom's final scene, i cry.
Who's getting it on the 7th? Let's GOOOOO!
i am the gears of war 4 release is almost here cabt wait
i am the gears of war 4 release is almost here cant wait

well done on the narrative .Loved your story telling
Dom's death made me cry when i played gears of war3
nothing felt better than seeing for once a carmine survive the game
Loved the recap! Well done Gamespot. Also, I may be one of the only ones but I really enjoyed Judgement.
5:24
That clip with Cole waving around as he's chainsawed makes me laugh every time
Donkey Kong got gruesome, rofl XD
Amazing History for a legendary franchise in the gaming world
Fantastic video! Great work on this.
Hope they can add to this for gears 5, give me goose bumps watching this again.
Really mad world AND SOUND OF SILENCE why you gotta make me cry for Dom😭😭
When Dom died, that was a very emotional moment for the series. I think it was a good call in order to have an emotional story. But the way he died was not reasonable. He sacrifice himself by jumping into a truck and ramming it into a tanker full of Imulsion to kill the overwhelming number of Lambent. He could have taking the truck, picked up his teams mates, and they all could have drove away from the incident safe and sound. The way he died was not logical.
I love the Gears series because its the only games now a days with an actual story line.
Like honestly the graphics of Gears 1 still holds up to this day. That’s ducking crazy.
i saluted my screen during dom's sacrifice.
Dude, anyone else get all the gears game for free today?
comes with preorder
Kyle Toker I wasn't aware all the games were a pre-order bonus.
you know that,we got all those games,with Xbox games for gold like last year to mid this year
I wouldnt mind having the codes Please. I am just getting into the whole gears world, and I am loving it. :)
I have played only the first one. Still missing 2, 3 and judgement.
Thann you so much for this video
Man I love Gears of War and Gears 4 is awesome I hope to high heaven that Gears 5 does indeed make an appearance at E3 this year.
I thought it was really disrespectful that Anya's death is just glossed over in Gears 4, I mean Dom gets at least 3-5 minutes for his death to play out, not only that but Maria's death gets more screen time too, but Anya- a character we've interacted with for 3 games (for years) is just dead without even a single hint as to what happened.
probly gonna be mention in the future installments playing a bigger role
She died giving birth to jd. It mentioned it in gow4
10:30... I got chills.... AGAIN
dem feels
Both of Doms moments made me cry the first time.
this was awesome to look back on history of gears of war good job👍and tomorrow gears 4 comes out☺☺☺
One of the best game series !!!
the Madden Mobile 16 Main Menu Theme Song makes this video so much better 😁
man gears of war 1 was THE game back in the days and so fun with splitscreen and multiplayer
Did anyone else NOT cry at Doms' death? I mean, I almost did at that moment, but it still wasn't enough to make me cry. And yes, I have played all the games leading up to it, as well as saw it when I was 11. It was still a sad moment I admit, but I think people are blowing it way out of proportion.
Dom’s death is one of few videogame characters deaths you could actually cry at
Downloading 4 right now. Lets get it
My ranking - and I was just just introduced to these games last years. I love these games, so ranking them is hard.
1 - GoW 2
2 - Judgement (this was a really fun game; probably unpopular putting it this high)
3 - GoW 4 (liked fighting the DBs, plus it was funny at times)
4 - GoW 3 (did we really need to fight that many corpsers??? Oh, and Lambent Beserker is just evil!)
5 - GoW Ultimate (last only b/c you face 3 bezerkers; hate them so much). My rankings sometimes change but GoW 2 has been constantly at #1.
GoW 4 definitely was an amazing game and has now set the bar for gears game higher then before
My new MP addiction has arrived! 😎💃✊👍👌🤘👏🖒🎅🤓😉😄😃😅🙄💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯
First gears was without doubt the best, when dom died it was like losing a brother myself, but first gears online cannot be replaced, three and four were ok but, what can I say looking forward to gears 5, but only the campaign!😈
wow great job on the video mary kish!!
Very Nice I learned something new
well done gamespot, from a true gearshead
1. What's the second song playing in the background (the one that starts at 2:45)2. Gears of war(1,2,3,4, judgement, and it's currently not out yet but 5 as well) is the best shooter of all time in my eyes
Gears of War: Judgement was meant to be easier to play so people could get intoduced to the game with its casual player button configuration and shorter story.
Legit just cried when she made me remember Dom... as happy as I am with Gears Of War 4 with being able to see new and old faces... one thing hit me... Dom is still dead... I won't be able to see him again...
After just beating gow4 this brings new meaning to all this!
This was the first game series I fell in love with and the reason why I got my Xbox 😭
written really well,great review.
Ive played the whole franchise on hardcore and i became attached to the series but when i saw dom die I cryed.
Chills everytime I see the Dom scene :( Gears forever
Best Game Trilogy Of All Time.
when dom died I cried so much I hated it we all knew dom so well he will be missed Rest in Peace Dom 😢
I don't care what anyone says judgment was a good game
ikr I mean yea I can agree tht its not a "Gears" game but it was still pretty good. I loved Horde mode in the series so the campaign felt like Horde mode had its own campaign. Which made me like it.
the campaign (which was the main focus of the Gears games) sucked... the multiplayer imo was fun...but sicne the campaign sucked it ruined the Gears franchise imo. thats why it's hated.
***** ohh yeah I loved the breechshot
I didn't mind it either! Wouldn't really put it in the same tier as the others tho
maybe in comparison the no mans sky
Free For All is actually pretty fun in Judgment. I still hop on to play that game type from time to time
It's been almost 7 years since this game and I still get a little depressed when I see that one scene.. Yal know what I'm talkin about. 😢
I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest this, but a
Pendulum Wars Game would be awesome
I remember the Mad World TV Spot for Gears 1 is what made me ask for an Xbox 360 that following christmas.
Gears 5 can't wait
I still find it cool that the first gears of war came out on my birthday
