The biggest twist in the SR Series... In SR4 the boss used the machine to go back in time and set the events of SR1 in motion.

What a perfect game,man The boss/playa in an odd way is both hero and the villain in the second game

[@SpectreRyder]

Very true. In the first one, PLAYA was, as the man said, wrong place wrong time, and the Saints saved them. So Playa felt they owed the Saints a debt and stayed quiet, taking orders and only speaking in certain moments. In SR2, Playa/Boss is out for revenge. The Saints actually come second as taking over the city and getting payback was all that mattered to them. Hell, you could argue that if you had control of any of the other gangs they could be the protagonist and Playa/Boss would be the antagonist.

[@Buguese]

@@SpectreRyder oh fuck yeah Like Julius said! "Drugs were still being pushed, innocent people are still getting killed,all we did was turn into vice kings that wear purple" But like playa/boss said "you wanna be the killer with a conscious,drop your flags and write a book like king,but you should've never came after me!" And well,the fact that troy was a cop and dex knew it,I imagine johnny and even you (as playa) knew it,and definitely Julius knew it,and that phone call that "you need to take care of your number 1 and your number 2",I like to think that Julius,the heads of carnales,rollers and even king (in whatever order you took em out) knew that playa was a threat,and Julius fucking BOMBED playa and was in a coma for what? 5 years?? I imagine playa liked the idea of the saints, basically Camelot and the knights of the round,the whole "truth and justice" deal sounded awesome, especially since ANY one can join the saints,after being canonized,of course But! The fact that the city y o u helped clean up from dangerous gangs as well as overturn the big threat that was the VK, only to have the one who saved your life bomb you,let your was best friend book all your soldiers,no word about Johnny,and come back only to find some knew gangs in town fucking up your shit I'd be out for revenge too,and well,to be fair *I think I too would've shot Julius* Why would I listen to the one who tried to kill me
