Look, I get the cult following, but calling it better than everything else on here feels like my ex saying she was "totally over" me.

    Lo de la nostalgia no me convence del todo, o mejor dicho, no explica por qué sigue ganando tantos duelos.

    Losing to The Last of Us in this ranking makes no sense to me.

    LootRex2

    Con Fallout se disfruta a ratos sueltos, ¿pero alguien realmente deja Factorio a medias sin querer volver esa misma noche?

    BossPilot2

    Ninguno de los dos pierde por aburrido.

  3. Ibáñez5

    Factorio se lleva más horas que Minecraft y Fallout: New Vegas juntos, y sigue por debajo en el puesto.

    ChristineRunner

    Les votes récompensent le souvenir marquant, pas les heures investies. Ce classement a un vrai souci de calibrage.

    LootFox

    Y quién dice que Minecraft merece estar por encima si ni automatiza nada tan complejo como esto.

    ArcadeKnight

    Solo le metí unas veinte horas repartidas en varios meses y ya entendí por qué la gente se obsesiona tanto.

  4. ArcadeHunter

    La gente dice que automatizar una fábrica no es divertido (aparte: llevan 400 horas jugando igual).

  5. VinylPhoenix

    76e, ça se discute, mais ça se discute pour de bonnes raisons cette fois.
