Most powerful scene in Gears 2? *SPOILERS*

I have always loved Gears of War franchise, I would go as far as saying it's easily one of the premier franchises in the industry today. I loved the first Gears, even though it's story was pretty straightforward, and while I enjoyed the characters I thought they didn't have a lot of depth behind them, but Gears 2 story is a lot better, but the scene where Dom finds Maria and Marcus says... "Dom.... It's okay", in my opinion was the most powerful scene-- you never saw a side of Marcus like that, or Dom. It kinda added more dimension to the characters-- and I am always up for character development in games, it makes things more interesting.

I'm pretty happy that Epic decided to work on the story albeit it's not the greatest story ever told but it's great. Also showing that emotional side of those huge bulky and violent dudes was pretty cool. Anyone else think the same?

EDIT: Spoiler heading added to topic - Aspro. 

Id have to agree. They nailed that scene right on the head, especially when *spoilers* Dom decided put his wife out of her misery. The whole entire part about how the Locust take prisoners was pretty powerful, especially when Tai killed himself.

Epic really went all out this time inorder to prove to us that the Locust are just like the humans. I mean, they fight wars against themselves, they have advanced in technology despite being "monsters", and they even have animals like the reavers and brumaks. So in essence they are exactly as evil as the humans are and there sort of is no good or evil side in this war..

**POSSIBLE SPOILER**

I thought that was a cool scene too, but I was a bit confused. When they first rescued her, she looked normal, but then after a minute she was that ugly thing. So, did she change in front of them, or did Dom just miss her so much that he saw her for what he remembered her as and then the image had to soak in before he realized what she looked like?

That was a little confusing. Either way that was a sad part of the game, and a good scene.

She looked like that because it was what Dom wanted to see, but in reality she looked like a concentration camp survivor

That's interesting that you brought that up about the Locust, because it never really ran across my mind until you mentioned it.

Get what I'm trying to say here? Your side is the good side. :P

I'm not cold or heartless but there's no need for emotion in gears, its all about machoness for me and scratching a few grubs, the whole Maria thing was a bit much IMO. But id didn't bother me too much.KingKoop

The mario scene was good but when Tai killed himself was betterXTREMEGAMER5

yet it was really sad when mario stood on top of the pipe and went to spiral down.  the last words i heard from him were, 'here we go, yahoo', havent heard from him since :cry:

Its great to see them actually want to do a story in Gears. However, I just didn't care to much for Dom's wife or Tai.

The whole Tai scene was a joke to me. It was like really? I didn't even know the guy! Dom's story was sad. I did feel bad for the guy. I just felt like it was something that was in the way of the game. I would of cared more if they had a heavier story about it in the first one.
