My rocket launcher that shoots corrosive rockets that explode upon contact and my Psyonic Rifle that shoots concentrated blasts of energy say yes.
Also, ''Over 9000" is an achievement. I'm talking about in-game references.
Don't talk to me about the weapons in Borderlands... I'm the serial slayer of the Sour Beast known as Crawmerax and i'm up to my eyeballs in Pearlescent weapons.
Besides Borderlands is set in the future on the fictional Alien planet Pandora, obviously the weapons are going to be more over the top than conventional weapons found on present day planet Earth...
Ok, when it comes to in-game references what about the weapons called the Pick of Destiny, Assassins Greed, Gabriel's Sledgehammer and Zed's Demise? Or the quests Let The Zombies Hit The Floor, Black Hawk Down, The Green Mile or Welcome to the Jungle? Or the two characters found together called Frank and Doctor West? Also Dead Island makes a reference to Monty Python. Nuff said.
Anyway, why does in-game pop-culture references become a massive factor as to whether a game is good or not? I mean i've heard of Graphics Whores and such but judging a game on whether it makes pop-culture references just takes the piss.

Never had that problem
Me and Mike had that with a quest. It lead us in to a rock face. With no route to the real quest target. We ran back and forth just to try to find the real way. lol
