Let’s take a look at why Handsome Jack is a clear winner for this year’s best bad guy."

I think Vaas was a better villian.

konnerbllb4140d ago

Negative. Vaas only showed up and interacted every so often. Also, Jack has a diamond unicorn.

AngryOcelots4140d ago

Butt Stallion is the clincher, moonbase puts him ahead too.

legionsoup4139d ago

For me, Vaas was scarier, and Jack was more entertaining. Though both shared in those elements to a degree (both had moments of humor and being scary).

Bimkoblerutso4139d ago

Vaas was an EXCELLENT villain, but yeah, he didn't really get enough face time. He wasn't technically even the main villain.

No, jack is def not. While borderlands 2 is supposed to be completely comedic, that also made jack comedic.

As much as I enjoyed jack I never really felt him as a true threat or a true villain.

Vaas on the other hand was a freaking monster and just a guy that you could do nothing but hate. Up until the point you were able to duel him you were really just rendered useless under his madness.

He truly felt like a threat every step of the way and there was completely no ounce of logic contained within himself.

The guy that every sane person instinctively hates no matter your background. That makes for the best villain.

Yea, he didn't get a lot of face time nor was he technically the main villain. But neither of those factors are needed to make best villain of the year.

I like vaas better too. I liked handsome jack at first but after awhile I got real tired of hearing him talk.

Sexius Maximus4139d ago

Jack has some serious violin skills too.

"HohoHoly Nutballs! What happened to your face. Jesus, uh Lady? I don't even know what to call you..."

Or...

"Did I ever tell Ju the definition of Insanity?"

Actually, I think Buck from Farcry 3 was fantastic in that crazy man-rape sort of way.

AngryOcelots4139d ago

That's a great quote from Vaas, but Jack would definitely win a war of words ;P. As for toe to toe well, Vaas would probably leave Jack bleeding on the floor but let's not forget there would be loader after loader and engineers to get through first. Not to mention The Warrior.

Vaas was annoying, and talk too much with little results. Jack talked too much with plenty of results. And yes, the moon base made him a beast and true villain with all the perks.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim466d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno466d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
