This game is filled with references and I would love to see a thread about it, cause I don't wanna miss anything. :D
Have to turn my game to "English" for that. ^^"


"Shield Of The Maiden" > Bloodborne > Description ("Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity.")

"Gatling Gull" > Metal Gear Solid > Vulcan Reaven (The weapon and death-sequence.)

"Proton Backpack" > Ghost Busters > The whole thing with the description

"Cactus" > Final Fantasy > Cactuar (1000 Needles)

"The Gorgun"(?) > Here I'm not sure, but the poison-puddles reminds me of an "Dark Souls 2"-Boss

"Bandana Bullet Kin" > Rambo

"Apprentice Gunjurer"(?) > also not sure, but the design reminds me very much of these underworld-people from "Oracle Of Ages" and "Oracle Of Season" (Legend Of Zelda)

"Banana" > Weapon in "Worms"-Games

"Demon Head" > Weapon in "Shadow Warrior" (and I think in "Painkiller Overdose")

That guy at the tutorial entrance, his dialogues are:
Well, what do we have here? You must be a new arrival.
Let me guess. Here to change the past, right? Well, you are not the first
But there's no salvation here.

remind you of anything? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Tvabrqegc

Some of my favorites so far are:

The "A.W.P." is ofc a refrence to Counter-Strike. They even went the extra mile with it, in that, it's a helluva lot faster to shoot if you quickly switch to another weapon and back again.

The "Flash Ray," which is a refrence to the Queen song "Flash," as well as the movie I suppose.

And ofc "Deck4rd" which is a refrence to the movie "Bladerunner," and it even has the subtext "The Unicorn of Handguns," refrencing the theory that some people believe about the movie, which is that Decker is actually a replecant himself, etc. etc.

The broken TV seemed like an American History X reference to me, though I'm not sure what that has to do with guns.

Muscle Relaxant is another Reference To Metal Gear Solid PSX, called Diazepam and used in the Sniper Wolf Fight.

Stinger is an existing weapon (FIM-92 Stinger), it has nothing to do with MGS.
