Z:ALTTP is also incredibly over-hyped.

I saw that video about 3 weeks ago, and have had the sax part in that stuck in my head at least once a day since then.

greatest video games lists?

Though I have a hard time melding classic gen with modern gen titles. But I'd throw up Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, TMNT: The Manhattan Project, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Bubsy, Golden Axe, etc. would all be at the top of my list when it comes to classic generation stuff. Though, that's me limiting a franchise to one title as well.... otherwise Link's Awakening, Sonic CD, ALL of the Donkey Kongs, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Super Mario Brothers 3, etc would be saturating it as well.

and if I'm counting 1996-2000 as classic gen I'd also throw Spyro, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, etc. in the loop. The second would probably top my top 20 games of all time list in retrospect.

Modern gen is a lot easier for me.

- Heavy Rain
- Alan Wake
- Silent Hill 2 (OR) Silent Hill 3
- KOTOR: The Sith Lords
- Mass Effect 2
- Sim City 4 (though maybe when I play Cities XL that'll takeover)
- Sims 2
- Red Dead Redemption
- Uncharted
- Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Also tempted to throw Catherine up in this pot given how much I enjoyed that.

All from the top of my head, I know I missed titles I ususally namedrop (Windwaker, etc)

It's also one of the best games of its generation and the title in the Zelda franchise that keeps getting emulated by its own creators. A whole lot of OOT and TP just recycles ALTTP.

I still don't understand this line of thought.

It's all in the dialogue.

It's all in the dialogue.

Even for Tarantino (which I like his filmography), I find Pulp Fiction incredibily lacking and can't figure out why it's adored the most out of his works. It has some charm and it is indeed worth a chuckle but I find it his weakest film by far.

[instantdeath999]

I can see finishing it and wondering what the point of it was, though I think that's some of its appeal. It's just a truly engrossing film, beginning to end, and I love the non-plot oriented dialogue. I also love it's almost "novel like" approach, showing multiple stories with only light connection.

I'd personally never put Kill Bill over Pulp Fiction . Reservoir Dogs might be better, thouugh.

[Gowienczyk]

Pulp Fiction is a good attempt, but my hesitation and skepticism towards it is hardly because I "do not get it" or ask myself if there was a point towards the almost episodic cinematic piece. The strength of it is pretty inconsistent, if you ask me; but that more has to do with the fact it's one of his earliest attempts at crafting such a multi-arcing film and is his second actual film. Reservoir Dogs works a lot better because it's not as audacious. I am no enemy to character-driven pieces and enjoy plenty of films that do the style over plot-driven devices.

I really do not find the several segments all that engrossing or entertaining; and it just leaves me flat and wondering if people like it for its cult status, the fact its a tarantino or whatever.

I would.
