I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.
I've been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I'm curious what Lemmy plays the most.
Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af
I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships
For me it's 7 Days to Die, at 1580 hrs.
I have over 6,000 hours in Dota2.
Dang, I was feeling real smug looking down on these people with my 4134.1 hours.
4000+ hours in (edit a strategy game) as I used to be the top streamer until the publishing company fucked me around. 3500+ in Diablo 3 as I was able to Leaderboard with a solo Monk... LB'ed and didn't earn any XP in groups... all solo!
It's was World of Warcraft before I quit.
What other games had in hours, that had in days. Probably around 500 days, mostly standing around waiting for others.
Now I play FFXIV instead.
Much healthier...
Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.
Best Co-Op game I've ever played with a marvellous community and its own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.
Stopped playing though when they introduced the "flappy boots" minigame. I know it's optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can't help the feeling.
In German I would say "die Luft ist raus" about this. Literally translated: "the air is out" and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just "meh", although it was (very) appealing before.
If you haven't played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won't regret it.
I love the expression! Sounds close to "out of steam" in English which is used similarly... nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or "special something" is gone
That's not very rock and stone of you
That's steam but the games I've put the most time into are:
Minecraft, must be over 10k hours.
Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, pretty sure over 10k hours combined.
There's surely some game I'm forgetting right now, just woke up.
There are also several mobile games I must have put thousands of hours into over the years.
Solitaire 2: Collectors Edition. 175k hours
lol not even 25 years in the game, what a noob
Finally! Someone with over 1000 hours in a game. I think I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris alone. Granted I've definitely walked away from that game in the endgame for over an hour and come back with practically nothing changing. It's a very slow game.
I don't have an exact number but it would have to be at least 5000 hours I've sunk into Minecraft. Been on and off the game since 2013, I'd get bored of the current version and switch to Beta (fairly sizable community on r/goldenageminecraft), I'd do some worlds where I'd obtain stuff in older versions that weren't obtainable later (whole wiki on Discontinued Minecraft items/blocks/structures/entities), of course I'd do modded.
I think the thing with Minecraft for me is that I spent all the time learning the game back in high school when I had more free time than I do as an adult, and I can nowadays play it extremely casually (~3 hours/week).
Its hard for me to get into new games (most recent game I got was Dredge) because I have like 2 hours a session to learn it, and it might be a few days between sessions.
I wish I could filter out idle and clicker games. My biggies are Factorio and KSP for non-idle games. Several thousand hours in each.
The following are some of my most played
Minecraft - Surely about 3k Hours Surviving Mars - 1k Hours Astroneer - 1.5k Hours (Mostly plaud in Early Access, newer versions kinda suck) Shapez.io - 500hours Maybe Portal 2 - 250hours
How is good old Planetside doin?
Always more active than I think, always less active than I want considering my main method of play is leading public platoons. It's great if you can concentrate into a hex and get people supporting each other. It's shit if you're just in a Sundy telling squads to ghost cap 4 hexes at a time to cut stuff off.
Last time I played was for the anniversary and I actually found an active outfit. Was nice and more active than I thought
A nontrivial amount of my gaming time was reset by steam around 2010.... IDK why, but there are games on my steam account that I know I've sunk over 100 hours into that show zero hours.
Right now, one of my highest is satisfactory, sitting around 1500+ hours.
3300 hours on Destiny. I love the game, I've made long friendships through it, it's not perfect, but it brings me joy.
God damn crayon eaters are ruining this tower!
...burnt out at around the 900hr mark myself sadly but the friendships remain :)
I have almost 4000 hours in Factorio and didn't play it for 2 years. I swear this game is some voodoo lifetime stealing curse.
Rocket League 4,485 hours
You're me.
Ok, so I'm 44, and my parents literally played D&D and video games with us growing up. I literally don't remember a time in my life that I wasn't gaming.
That being said.
According to Steam:
Factorio: 4,330 hours
Dyson Sphere Program: 2,506 hours
Skyrim: 2440 hours
Stellaris: 2,237 hours
Dungeon Defenders: 1644 hours
Terraria: 1630 hours
Fallout 4: 602 hours
Also I probably have well over 10,000 hours in 2.5 edition, 3.0, and 3.5 edition D&D. Only counting actual tabletop time.
That's also not counting a fuckton of games that I have played on various consoles starting with a TI-99/A and and Atari 2600 as well as most of the early Nintendo consoles. I branched out once I got to college.
My numbers are actually quite low. I know multiple people that have 20,000+ hours in their favorite games.
Not a lot of single game no lifers on here... https://i.imgur.com/H9PWPxq.png Obv wallpaper engine, clicker, and perfect tower are idle things so most of those hours aren't active so pretty much every other game I have is under 200 hours.
Minecraft probs has like 5k+ tho.
you cannotsimply quit civilization only after the tutorial...
on xbox with its time tracking, i think rock band 4 takes the cake with uhhhh i have no clue maybe 100 days? i cant check right now
unofficially rock band 3, i used to play it 8 hours a day everyday
All I'm going to say is those are rookie times for PS2. I might have spent that many hours in a Biolab.
For the longest time, I could never understand how anyone could put more than like 100 hours into a game. The most I've ever gotten is 200ish, but that was from years of drunk Rocket League with friends.
Then, in the same week, I got an adderall prescription and discovered Noita. I'm sitting at around 500 hours since June. That game has my soul.
Over the past year? Probably Vampire Survivors.
As of late? Doom (the 2016 reboot).
Of all time? I'm actually not sure, especially if you include my pre-internet / pre-always-being-spied-on-and-tracked history. But probably it would be one of the Street Fighter 2 iterations.
I don't think I've even played 450 hours total of games in the past 25+ years, though. So, I'm probably a bit of an outlier around here.
Path of Exile - 1000+ hours
CK2 - 400h
Fallout NV (guessing most of this has been TTW) - 190h
Stellaris - 180h
Xcom 2 - 140h
GTA 5 - 99h
Cities Skylines - 95h
Skyrim - 90h
Civ5 - 85h
Xcom - 83h
The other games I've played are pretty much the standard play-through times. (< 70h)
