    I've maybe put ten hours in total across a year, always in short bursts, and even then I never got why it ranks this high honestly...

    Willie_12

    I feel that, I put in maybe fifteen hours spread over two years myself, but those short sessions are honestly the whole appeal for me.

    66% win rate over 200 duels and still stuck at 246th says more about voters than the game.

    GlitchPilot

    Le taux de victoire, ça reste un vote sur deux qui préfère quand même le camion (et ça, ça compte pour moi).

    Against GTA V it's night and day in pace, but that slowness is exactly why I keep coming back to it between sessions of chaos.

    (même moi j'ai jamais dépassé les dix heures dessus)

    If ten hours is the ceiling for most of us, why does it keep winning duels against games people finish twice?

    Celia_44

    Yo lo veía como algo para compartir, y aun así prefiero mil veces jugar algo con más gente al mismo tiempo.

    Look, I get that it's relaxing and all, but should a truck driving sim really be beating actual story driven games in these duels? I don't think the votes reflect what people actually spend hours playing, they reflect who shows up to click.

    SilentKid2003

    Les votes reflètent surtout qui a envie de cliquer, pas qui a fini le jeu.

    I've heard it called meditative so many times I'm starting to think that's code for repetitive...

    AbdullahKnight

    Repetitive or meditative, does it matter when the rank barely shifts either way?

  6. IronKnight2004

    My roommate and I used to take turns driving while the other one made dinner, it became our weird little ritual for a whole semester.

    CritWolf12

    If everyone here only played it for ten hours, who's actually deciding it deserves 246th?

  7. brian_mayer

    Another round of the same argument, another day where nobody's rank actually moves.

  8. SammieDragon

    People always dismiss it as boring but you guys clearly never drove through the Alps at night with rain hitting the windshield, this game rewards patience and I'll defend that forever.

    I remember installing it during a rough winter when I barely left the house, and just letting the GPS voice guide me through some rainy stretch near a border crossing became weirdly comforting. Never touched the DLC maps everyone talks about, just the base roads, over and over.

    Face à Mario Kart Double Dash, on est clairement pas dans la même catégorie de PLAISIR immédiat, mais l'un fait rigoler cinq minutes et l'autre occupe des soirées entières.

    TurboBard

    perso je vois pas le rapport entre les deux, l'un c'est speed et bananes, l'autre c'est un gps et de la patience (chacun son truc quoi)

    LootLegend682

    jaja las siestas cuentan tmb no

    OcéaneOwl

    Ah oui, le plaisir immédiat, comme regarder une jauge de dérapage pendant que ton camion attend sagement au feu rouge.

    Bon, encore un débat sur sa place, comme si ça allait changer quelque chose à mes trajets du dimanche soir. Il a ce calme que peu de jeux de course osent proposer, mais je comprends aussi ceux qui s'ennuient dessus et qui votent contre par réflexe.

  12. CoopPhoenix2010

    La verdad es que no entiendo cómo compite con juegos de mundo abierto tan grandes, no tiene nada que ver.

    ArcadeNinja

    Comparing it to open world giants misses the point, it's not trying to be one of those in the first place.

    BossFox3

    I put it on during a stretch of remote work last year, just idling through deliveries between meetings, and somehow that became the highlight of my afternoons.

  13. LootFox

    no sé por qué siempre lo comparan con juegos de acción, no es lo mismo

  14. ChristineRunner

    Franchement 246e c pas mérité pr un jeu où tu conduis un camion en ligne droite pdt des heures.

    cguillet

    Toi aussi t'as fini par lâcher la manette au bout d'une heure de ligne droite, non ?

  15. PaulLegend

    Mon père y jouait pour se détendre après le boulot, moi je trouvais ça d'un ennui function public.

    RogueRider2008

    Ton père trouvait ça reposant, mais est-ce que reposant justifie vraiment une place aussi haute ?

    Peltier8

    Replying to RogueRider2008

    Non, franchement, dix heures ça suffit pour comprendre qu'il n'a pas besoin de plus haut.
