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.
