Saints Row 3 takes place about a year after SR2. Dex has taken control of Ultor, moving Eric Gryphon down a peg. Dex has made Ultor even more powerful. They have begun remodeling Shivington like they planned in SR2, despite the Saints attempts to stop them. Troy is still the chief of police, "Boss" is still the leader of the Saints, and he's even more of a power-hungry sociopath than before. Stilwater is in chaos with Ultor and the Saints at war. Meanwhile, in a different city, just across the ocean that surrounds Stilwater, a new corporation has formed. This one has become pretty powerful itself, but Ultor is still well-beyond it. This new corporation is run by Benjamin King. He started it while Boss was in his coma, but it wasn't poweful enough back then to be noticed. Now, it is more powerful than any company in the world, except of course, for Ultor. YOU, are an employee for this corporation. You are Ben King's right-hand man. So you aren't the Boss anymore. You still create your character, of course, and maybe you create Boss as well. Your best friend works for King's corporation as well. Later in the game you'll find out that this friend is Carlos's brother, who moved to this city and joined King's corporation after the Boss went into the coma and the Saints fell apart after SR1. Donnie also moved to this city, right after the events of SR2, hoping to escape "Boss's" influence. Donnie runs a mechanic business, this new city's version of Rim Jobs. There will be a bunch of Billboards for this mechanic shop around the city with Donnie's face on them. The first few missions are like any game's beginning, pretty much about getting used to the game and whatnot. They are small missions that Ben King sends you on, nothing serious. But after the first few missions, King calls you into his office, telling you he has a very important task for you... --- | |
King tells you there is someone in Stilwater who is very dangerous, and needs to be stopped. This person has killed tons of people, and King says you are the person most fit to stop him, saying you're the only person he's seen who can match this guy's skill. He tells you who the guy is, and as you may have guessed, it's Boss. You hesitantly agree to do this mission. You take a plane, and you and some of Ben King's other men who were sent to help you, fly across the sea to Stilwater, and from now on in the game, you can fly, or boat, to and from Stilwater as you please. This way there are multiple cities. When you arrive in Stilwater you and the other soldiers move on the Saints hideout, where Boss is rumored to be at the moment. You barge in. Boss isn't expecting you, but he always has some guns handy. He shoots at your group, and the other Saints come in, and there's a huge battle. You and King's men have elite training, but you are hopelessly outnumbered. Your friend's are killed, and Boss points a gun to your head, telling you to drop your weapons. Knowing you have no other choice, you obey. He takes you and ties you up in another room, where He, Johnny, Pierce, and Shaundi are waiting. Pierce is whining, saying he could've captured you. After Boss tells him to shut up, he begins to question you. He asks who you work for, but you don't give him anything. You are beaten, but you won't talk. Boss decides to wait and think of other ways to get you to talk. He and Johnny leave, while Pierce and Shaundi stand guard. You and them talk a while, but then Pierce pulls out a silenced pistol. Shaundi asks what he's doing, and Pierce shoots her multiple times. Shaundi is dead, and Pierce comes over and unties you. He tells you to follow him. You and him escape the hideout, and go to Ultor Tower. Pierce says you are going to steal a fighter jet from Ultor, because he knows the Saints are following you. You fight Ultor until you find a fighter jet. Taking it, you fly across the sea towards your city, the Saints flying their own planes for you to fight. Eventually you make it back to your base. King's men mop up any Saints that were still tailing you, and you go into King's office. You introduce him to Pierce, telling him how Pierce saved your life. You ask why Pierce would risk himself to do that. He tells you that he didn't like the Boss because of the way he treated Pierce in SR2, and now, and that he wants to help destroy Boss and the Saints. Then King's phone rings. He answers. It's Dex. Dex says he's upset, that King's man stole one of his jets and killed some of his men. King defends you, which just makes Dex angrier. Dex says King needs to get better control of you, and that he'll let this slide. He warns King that if something like this happens again, there will be consequences for King and his corporation. A few days later, the Saints attack your corporation. Boss being the psycho that he is, is on another revenge kick since you tried to kill him, and killed Shaundi. You, Pierce, Carlos's brother and King, defend yourselves the best you can, and eventually you succeed in driving the Saints away, but Pierce was killed in the process. Johnny had led the group of Saints into this battle, and had shot Pierce because Boss wanted Pierce dead the most. Johnny escaped, with two or three other Saints. And this wouldn't be the last time the Saints attacked... --- | |
After a second attack on your base, King decides it's time to return the favor. He sends you, Carlos's brother, and a much larger group of his men to Stilwater to kill Johnny and the Boss, and wipe out the Saints once and for all. There is an enormous battle when you arrive, but Boss isn't there, only Johnny. But you have no time to ponder that. You fight and then at the end of the mission, you have to fight Johnny himself. It's a challenge, but you succeed. Johnny is almost dead when you ask him where the Boss went. Johnny, as loyal as ever, won't talk. He dies without a word. You and Carlos's brother head back to your base, and the a cutscene rolls. It shows the Saints fighting Ultor at the Phillips building. Boss is there, which explains why he wasn't at the hideout. His phone rings, and he finds cover to answer it. It is one of the Saints, who tells him Johnny is dead, that you and Carlos's brother killed him. As you can imagine, Boss is pissed. He charges into Ultor tower alone, killing anyone in his way. When he reaches the top, he barges into Dex's office where Dex is sitting at his desk. Dex jumps out of his seat and pulls out a pistol. Boss says he just wants to talk. Dex agrees, but keeps the gun on the Boss, just in case he tries anything. Boss proposes a truce, because he wants you and Ben King dead more than anything. They talk for a few minutes, and then they reach an agreement: They will team up, but only until King's corporation is destroyed. Once it is, Boss and the Saints will leave Stilwater, and let Ultor do as they please. So the rest of the game is about you and King struggling against Ultor and the Saints. Lots of battles and car chases and whatnot. A little closer to the end of the game, you and Ben King attack Ultor tower. You reach the top where Dex and a bunch of Masako soldiers are waiting. But you and Ben King have a lot of skill, as you know. You put up a good fight, but eventually, you run out of ammo, and you're forced to surrender, even though Dex was the only one left to oppose you. The three of you talk for a while, but then Dex decides to kill you. He says you are too dangerous to live. He puts the gone to your head. You know this is the end... --- | |
Suddenly Eric Gryphon comes into the room. Dex is startled. He lifts the gun, but before he can react, Gryphon pulls out his own pistol and shoots Dex multiple times. Dex falls, dead. He tells you he killed Dex because Dex was making a huge mistake, allying with Boss. Gryphon says you and Ben King could be powerful allies to Ultor. With Dex dead, Gryphon takes control of Ultor, and makes sure Boss knows that Ultor is no longer on his side. With Ultor a friend of your corporation, you now have a good chance against Boss. There are a few more missions against the Saints, but then you discover Boss's location. He's in a skyscraper near the Phillips Building. You waste no time. You, King, and Carlos's brother attack immediatly leading some of Ultor's masako team that Gryphon sent to help you. Every single Saints is waiting with the Boss. While you and Carlos's brother fight the Saints, King goes after Boss. The two are fighting with their fists after disarming each other. It's an intense fight, neither Boss nor King ever seem to be winning. But then, Boss pulls out a knife. King doesn't see it, and he charges at the Boss. Boss stabs King. You are just able to see it. King falls dead while Boss picks up some weapons from some of the dead Saints or Masako soldiers. With Boss in the fight now, the Saints start to gain some ground. You tell Carlos's brother to lead the Masako team for a minute, while you fight the Boss. You are able to disarm Boss, and it turns into a fist fight. It's a challenge, and Boss seems to be too tough. He beats you down, the picks up a gun, aiming it at you. Suddenly, Carlos's brother runs over tackles him, and they both crash through a window, falling from the top floor, and plummeting to their deaths. While you stand there dumbfounded, the Masako team finishes off the Saints. After the battle Gryphon congratulates you, but says he is sorry about King and Carlos's brother. With those two dead, you take control of King's corporation. Your corporation controls the new city, while Gryphon and Ultor control Stilwater. |
