8 Ultra Satisfying Video Game Moments Where You Finally Got Revenge
8. Taking Down Handsome Jack - Borderlands 2
If there's one bad guy we all absolutely love to hate, it has to be Handsome Jack. The man is so endlessly quotable while being so utterly loathsome that it creates an impossible situation where we want his reign of terror to end, but kinda want to hear at least one more decent line before we pull the trigger.
Throughout the narrative of Borderlands 2 we've seen this smug bastard kill Roland, end up obliterating Bloodwing, terrorise an entire population and lock his daughter up against her will to manipulate her Siren powers. That's enough sh*t for multiple villains, but here he's hoarding it all.
At every step, Jack dogs the party, either throwing a wrench into the works or by taunting them relentlessly, so of course that sort of hatred is going to build to boiling point. Finally, after turning his fabled Warrior inside out, Jack alone is left, begging and seething with rage. When you pop that last round into him and silence his mocking forever, it's more satisfying than a chest containing all orange loot, but at the same time is as empty as this title's end game once you've done all the challenges.
A weird feeling.
