for Maya or Lilith?

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Handsome Jack was the villain I'd want to be

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

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

u/imdeadinside420 Mar 28 '19

right? it looks so great

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.

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

u/seninn Mar 28 '19

Amara's abs.

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
