    Still my go to whenever friends come over, no debate needed honestly.

    Franchement ce classement m'amuse un peu, parce qu'on met face à face un jeu de course familial et des jeux comme GTA qui n'ont rien à voir niveau ambiance, et du coup les votes finissent par dépendre plus de l'humeur du moment que d'un vrai comparatif, enfin c'est mon avis, je me trompe peut-être.

    Face à un GTA il ne joue pas dans la même cour, évidemment. Mais on ne demande pas la même chose aux deux, et c'est bien pour ça que le duel a un intérêt.

    Yeah that stat matches what I saw at every game night I hosted, people show up ready to argue about GTA and end up racing for hours instead.

    otro GTA más, va, y aun asi sigue ganando el 75% de las veces, eso ya dice bastante

    On l'a acheté avec ma sœur pour un anniversaire, sans trop y croire, et finalement c'est devenu notre rituel du dimanche soir pendant des mois. Elle gagnait presque à chaque fois d'ailleurs.

    Je me souviens des soirées chez mon cousin, on devai être une bande de cinq ou six autour de l'écran, et celui qui perdait devait laisser sa manette au suivant direct.
