The death scene was so, so awful. You know that feeling you get when you know someone is trying to say something meaningful but they're stuttering or otherwise lack the skills necessary to articulate what they're saying? Everything about the way that scene was presented was so tacky. The close-ups of Dom's face? Shiiiiiit.
I can't believe people admit to being emotional about it, really. Dom's solemness was portrayed infinitely better than it was in Gears 2, but that game set the bar hella low.
The worst part about the death scene was how absolutely forced it was. The guy throws his gun away, sprints through a horde of three different factions (all standing/stumbling about in these scenes as though thoroughly confused),
jumps into a working vehicle, escapes the scene with no resistance - and the the most logical conclusion he could surmise was a suicide run?
A well placed shot from his comrades could have easily taken care of the fuel tank? Maybe he could have used that vehicle to grab everyone and dip - since the enemies were so obviously lenient in their sieges against moving vehicles?
Nah, just do it.
Had Dom portrayed suicidal inclination leading up to the moment it would have seemed much less forced.
That whole scene was just really, really bad IMO. The cinematography and all. This isn't me hating, because I think this game is full of really cool scenes (such as Adam and the Queen's deaths).
