The game tells you that you have to have done all the loyalty missions of your homies to get the best ending.

Though these are also possible references to Fable III which more or less has the player character a King/Queen make similar decisions.

The bill to cure world hunger, which Keith is holding up, reads 'Let them eat cake' in reference to a quote famously (mis)attributed to Marie Antoinette.

Include one for punching someone, although in this case both choices punch the victim, with your only option being whether to 'punch a dickhead' or 'punch a dick in the head'.

The moral choices while walking through the White Crib are a big parody of Paragon & Renegade action prompts.

How did you progress through Mass Effect 2, again?

In the text adventure you could investigate a planet then launch a probe for resources.

And the intro mission where the Zin Empire abducts everyone has a lot in common with the mission where Joker has to get to safety from the Collectors. The suits in the real world look a bit like Shepard-Commander's gear too. Although the romances are hilariously parodied (Kinzie's starts with the Boss bluntly asking 'want to fuck?', to which she punches him, then jumps on him, then Fade to Black).

Also, every homie has loyalty missions and romances.

A scene of the Boss leaping across a gap with Keith David catching and pulling him up in the 'War for Humanity' trailer is a nod to the Suicide Mission of Mass Effect 2 (Keith David having voiced Captain Anderson in said series just reinforces the Shout-Out).

The dubstep gun is a reference to a Corridor Digital video of the same name.

The QTE to finish off a Warden involves you flying into its chest and exploding it from inside the same way Neo destroys Agent Smith in the first Matrix. This part of the game even had a Working Title of ' Enter the Dominatrix' back when it was going to be a DLC Expansion Pack for Saints Row: The Third.

The Lotus-Eater Machine setting is a parody of the The Matrix film series.

Not to mention Zinyak's quoting every piece of Shakespeare quoted by General Chang from Star Trek VI.

The text adventure game that follows summarily references Mass Effect 2, four works by Edgar Allan Poe (' The Tell-Tale Heart', ' The Pit and the Pendulum', ' The Raven' and ' The Cask of Amontillado'), Gilligan's Island and Leather Goddesses of Phobos.

In Matt Miller's virtual prison, itself a reference to TRON.

Returning from Saints Row: The Third is the cyberspace motorcycle from TRON: Legacy.

So the prologue alone has Pride and Prejudice, Conan the Barbarian (1982), Predator, Armageddon, and Zero Dark Thirty.
