10 Incredible Video Games The Industry Will NEVER Do (And Why)

In the vein of Ciri or The Outsider, we come to Handsome Jack. The issue here is that the idea was kind of done in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. There were two issues with that, though.

Firstly, you don’t play as Jack, you play alongside him as one of his many henchmen. Secondly, when you do play as Jack, it’s as his stunt double doppelganger-thing. Technicalities aside, throughout Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel we’re given so much exposition on Jack as a character. Some good, a lot bad and a tiny little bit in regard to his previous life before becoming a villain.

Now, imagine the Borderlands style, perhaps slightly dialled back for a specific, more focused narrative experience, that lets you play through a section of Jack’s life.

The directors he’s back-stabbed… or killed, the settlements he’s destroyed and the people he’s stepped over to get where he got to. There must be so much story left over about Handsome Jack that simply couldn’t fit into the released titles.

However, again, considering Jack was the villain in Borderlands 2 and the supporting role in the Pre-Sequel, I seriously doubt we’ll see even more of him. That is, unless Gearbox get in dire trouble with their sales.
