Namely metal gear solid, where alot of the tech and ideas are clearly taken directly out of this, such as the scooba diving into shadow moses, sneaking into the tanker at the start of mgs2 to take photos and upload them, the whole vampire story line is identical to vamp in mgs2 and 4 and the way he finally dies as well with the vaccine. Also just the sniper duel in episode 3 was very reminiscent of multiple boss fights in mgs (sniper wolf, fortune, the end).
Also clearly cyberpunk 2077 took huge inspirations as well with jackie being modeled after one of the main trio, and the fight with the cyborg is the final boss of cyberpunk 2077 as well pretty much shot for shot.
but also i saw plot lines of spenser and albert wesker from resdient evil and even that cyborg reminding me of metal sonic from sonic 2.
Clearly this anime has had a huge cutltural impact on many of my all time favourite games as well as being featured in the music video for Nero's dubstep song 'innocence'. For all of that alone i got tonnes of enjoyment from watching this.
The visuals are still gorgeous and i really enjoyed alot of the dialogue in the english dub, it was really campy and hilarious at times with alot of the dry humour delivered by the robot. And also the crygenically frozen space panthers in satelite base that shoots lasers from their mouths is fucking hilarious and sick as hell, i enjoyed that alot.
