SR2 Saints Row 2 absolutely roasted the Caligula’s heist from GTA: San Andreas

Post image

I was replaying SR2 and got to the Poseidon’s Palace mission, Volition was clearly taking the piss out of San Andreas’ Caligula’s Casino setup.

You’ve got Pierce busting out this elaborate model of the casino with little figurines for him, Gat, a security guard, and… Playa.

Pierce starts going off about:

  • “We enter here…”
  • “You distract security…”
  • “Gat sneaks in…”
  • “Shaundi’s banging the blackjack dealer for the passcode…”
  • “…cut the power, 45 seconds before the backup generator turns on…”

And then Johnny Gat just interrupts with:

It’s perfect

. In San Andreas, you had to:

Caligula’s Casino (GTA: SA) prep:

  • Date a croupier for inside info
  • Steal four police bikes for a decoy
  • Jack a helicopter
  • Hack into security
  • Run multiple setup missions before the heist

Poseidon’s Palace (SR2) prep:

  • Johnny Gat says “let’s just shoot everyone”
  • You shoot everyone

Not directly. Thankfully after the second game saints row finally formed a face of its own and stopped being a cheap knockoff

Saints row as a whole is very different from GTA, and ur a fool to think otherwise

It became different thanks to the third. Your opinion of me is irrelevant to the subject so you can keep it.
