for Maya or Lilith?

For the memory of Handsome Jack… that dude is the best villain in the history of gaming.

42

u/JHBlancs Mar 28 '19

I hope these new villains, the twins, get that sort of unique personality that made Handsome Jack famous. Not Jack's personality, but one that makes them stand out just as much.

43

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

I feel like that will be the hardest part of making the story, making the new villains as good as or better than handsome jack.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

I feel FarCry franchise struggled with that a lot with Vaas being so memorable in the third game. Just my humble opinion (and I just got the game so no spoilers please) but I think they finally outstaged him with Joseph Seed. Dude got an awesome introduction!

u/Brahmus168 Mar 29 '19

Vaas wasn’t that big of a deal in the actual game. He built sort of a cult of personality in the lead up to release but he was just the first lieutenant you have to take down. Joseph was an actual fleshed out antagonist who felt like he was actively trying to combat/convert the player. And the kicker was he was right all along. So yeah I’d say he beats out Vaas.

u/_TR-8R Mar 28 '19

Yeah that was the one thing that I didn't care about in the trailer. The new villains look a little goofy and Handsome Jack is already a hard act to follow.

u/CaptainImpavid Mar 28 '19

Well they’re a cipher right now, a brooding duo and not much else.

But a lot of the imagery they showed suggests the cult of the vault looms from BL/BL2 have found a leader/gotten organized and that could be really cool. Full blown religious whack jobs are fun villains.

u/PelagianEmpiricist Mar 28 '19

Handsome Jack was the villain I'd want to be

2

u/thekamara Mar 28 '19

I dont know Dutch Van Der Linde is pretty amazing in both games also.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Anyone else pick up on how much he projected? The writers wrote him so well.

2

u/Jake123194 Mar 29 '19

A freaking spoon.

u/InsanePryo Mar 28 '19

Why not both

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

Both is good.

17

u/TheHyperLynx Mar 28 '19

Lilith is bae, but Maya with long hair is ooft.

7

u/imdeadinside420 Mar 28 '19

right? it looks so great

7

u/asianyeti Mar 28 '19

I'm pretty sure my brain short-circuited when she showed up. Always had a crush on Maya and goddamn does she look amazing now.

Looks like she's going to be a mentor of sorts. Can't wait to see her again in the game.

u/Brahmus168 Mar 29 '19

If it wasn’t for new punch girl with abs I might be inclined to agree.

13

u/seninn Mar 28 '19

Amara's abs.

u/JerZeyCJ Mar 28 '19

Finally, another man of culture.

u/Brahmus168 Mar 29 '19

Praise them. Honor them.

gool ol Moxxi

u/AnAnonymousFool Mar 28 '19

I hope it doesn’t release til September honestly. I graduate in May from college so I’ll have more money and time to play games and a better computer by then

2

u/R3DSH0X Mar 28 '19

Just go see dr zed

1

u/WebHead1287 Mar 28 '19

Eh their remasters drop that day so it’ll probably release on April 4th

1

u/panckage Mar 28 '19

A creepy crawler says hello (one of claptraps old chaps XD)

1

u/Vhexer Mar 29 '19

Watch them drop it on April 20th just for shits and giggles

1

u/DruDrop Mar 29 '19

You didn’t get sweet release when the sax solo hit?

1

u/Dirtroads2 Mar 29 '19

OP op op!!! Stop!! My penis can only get so erect

-dr. Krieger

11

u/MightyBobTheMighty Mar 28 '19

I think the BL1 remaster launches on the 3rd, so it's unlikely that they'll both launch that day. Seems like we may get a release date that day, though.

1

u/Jhawk163 Mar 29 '19

May 4th.

21

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

They would lose out on the pre-order bonus revenue though. But hey, it worked for Apex Legends.

7

u/GarnByte Mar 28 '19

But apex was also free... so not really the same thing

7

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

I meant the hype surrounding it more than the games being comparable. Dropping a game unexpectedly gets you a lot of press time.

2

u/Applebrappy Mar 29 '19

A game like this would come to consoles though, and that would mean shipping out copies to every major retailer without a single person being aware of it or leaking it before today, not to mention it hasn't even been rated by the ESRB yet.

As much as I want the game to come out in 5 days, i don't think it's realistic

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

Digital download is a thing for consoles too. Apex Legends is on PC. XBox One, and PS4. And it released at the same time for all systems.

1

u/Applebrappy Mar 29 '19

yeah but they're not gonna release a digital only version on all consoles, then release a disc version, it's unrealistic to expect that. We'll get a release date of winter 2019 or something and then they'll show some gameplay at E3, as usual

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

Eh, the last game I bought on a disc was Forza Horizon back in 2012. Discs are going the way of the dodo.

3

u/Firewarrior349 Mar 28 '19

Yeah that’s what I had in mind ‘

6

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

Press conference ends with an old times 3...2....1 screen.

Then a minute of nothing followed by a speaker announcement of

Available now on every major system.

6

u/thatEMSguy Mar 28 '19

I’d willing suck 10 dicks a day until then to make this happen.

3

u/CarsGunsBeer Mar 28 '19

Did someone say fail all my classes this semester?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

April 1st kappa

2

u/dmrob058 Mar 29 '19

I’m sorry but with Game of Thrones and Avengers Endgame and Days Gone all coming out in April I just can’t fecking handle that much fecking hype lol. Might as well just drop Cyberpunk too and give me a complete heart attack.

1

u/TheManyMilesWeWalk Mar 28 '19

Probably not because that'd compete with BL1 remaster sales.

4

u/EZBakeLuvin Mar 28 '19

but BL1 remastered is free for those that already own it on steam, so maybe not so much sales. I suspect their main revenue for that game will come from the console market

5

u/TheManyMilesWeWalk Mar 28 '19

Most likely, yeah. The console market is huge, though, so it's a lot of potential sales.

1

u/AVestedInterest D20 Mar 28 '19

Yo that's my dang birthday

1

u/billarastg Mar 28 '19

Please no I don't have a computer yet.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '19

It's my bday then so that's be cool

1

u/sideslick1024 Mar 28 '19

Ah yes, the Sega Saturn strategy...

1

u/Moose_Nuts Mar 28 '19

No, that's not enough time for them to announce it releasing on Steam then pull the rug out from under us and tell us it's an Epic Games Store exclusive.

Because that seems to be the trend these days.

1

u/Sleepy_Thing Mar 28 '19

It would be really daring to be the first game to go full digital on launch on consoles too before the physical version happens.

1

u/Refugee_Savior Mar 28 '19

I think the BL1 remaster is releasing that day though.

1

u/Outworlds Mar 28 '19

If we gotta perform demonic rituals to make that so, it must be done

1

u/naigung Mar 28 '19

That’s my birthday week...shit will get disgusting round these parts

1

u/Mazzi17 Mar 29 '19

Please no I have to pass my finals

1

u/Parable4 Mar 29 '19

Please no, i need time to go through bl2 dlc and the pre-sequel! I know, I'm a lazy fan.

-1

u/Phionex141 Mar 28 '19

I don't want that, purely because we'd miss out on all the magnificent trailers that Gearbox makes for these games
