The Pip-Boy's artists later admitted a design regret: all the knobs and switches sit on the left side of the screen, despite the device being strapped to the left wrist and operated with the right hand, meaning your own hand blocks the display while adjusting it. Fallout 4 fixed this by moving the controls to the right side.
Small detail, but a telling one: masks have been pulled into the same item wheel used for weapons, and guns now automatically holster the moment you walk into a shop. It's a quiet convenience upgrade that suggests Rockstar spent real time smoothing out the friction points GTA V players complained about for years.
Down in the Steam Pools of southern Feralas there's a fully staffed goblin holiday resort, complete with sunbathing NPCs and a self-styled celebrity adventurer called Johnny Awesome soaking up the atmosphere. None of them have quests to give, they just exist to grumble about how overpriced the drinks are if you strike up a conversation.
In one episode Rick and Morty get interrupted mid-Minecraft session, and when Morty complains, Rick just shrugs that South Park already did this joke four years earlier. Morty replies that they're fast, and Rick corrects him that actually they're just slow, a cheeky nod to the fact South Park writes and airs episodes within the same week while Rick and Morty doesn't release anything until a whole season is finished.
At launch, several of the game's radio stations were personally curated and hosted by real musicians rather than voice actors playing a character. Flying Lotus, Bootsy Collins, and Frank Ocean all lent their names and their taste in music to specific stations, giving Los Santos' airwaves a level of authenticity most game soundtracks don't bother with.
Bungie genuinely didn't expect anyone outside of college dorms with existing network setups to bother with System Link multiplayer, which is why the feature only supports linking four Xbox consoles together. Nobody predicted people would happily lug their TVs to a friend's house for it.
Sanji is spotted wearing an apron featuring Doskoi Panda, another one of Oda's recurring in-universe mascots, while cooking aboard the Going Merry, a small but deliberate touch for readers who know to look for it.
All Might's mix of goofy, bumbling charm off-duty and total selflessness in a fight has often been pointed back to Dragon Ball's Goku as an influence. Horikoshi has openly cited Dragon Ball as one of his favorite series and a huge inspiration on how he built modern shonen heroes.
The campaign splits between Pvt. C. Miller of the US Marines in the Pacific and Dimitri Petrenko of the Red Army on the Eastern Front. One of them survives to the credits, and one very much doesn't - a bleaker structure than the earlier games in the series went for.
Check the in-game description for a regular old Egg and you'll find a surprisingly philosophical bit of flavour text musing over whether chickens evolved or were made by the gods, noting that no god has ever claimed credit for the first chicken or egg, but none of them deny it either.
