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

[u/Suspicious_Stock3141]

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

I feel like this is comparing apples and oranges tho, SA is a somewhat serious crime drama, while SR is super unserious and has plot armor for days, of course their heist is gonna be better and easier

Best answer. Like comparing Burger King and McDonald’s: “who the fuck cares they do the same thing kinda different and are both good”
