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.
Factorio it's over 6000 last time I checked
I bow to you master. I'm incing close to 1000.
The factory must grow.
Playing it with my boyfriend, I have about 500 hours, about to head to aquilo for the first time, wish us luck!
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.
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 have almost 4000 hours in Factorio and didn't play it for 2 years. I swear this game is some voodoo lifetime stealing curse.
Before this I used to play certain games exclusively, often for 10+ hours a day (beefy laptop at work and then home).
QuakeWorld - '98-2003
Ragnarok Online - 2003-2008
WoW - 2008-2012
EVE - 2012-2014
You play games at work?
I used to. Not since 2012. I had a night shift job, getting paid to do nothing.
Also since 2020 I've been wfh. So technically yes, I play games at work.
Factorio for me. Steam has 3000 hours logged, but I played it for ages before getting Steam version so really no idea. Estimating 4000 hours total.
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.
World of Warcraft by a huge margin. A couple of years ago, I went through all my characters, and added the /played time up. I think it was already over 10k back then, and I've played a bunch since then. Also, I often delete characters, so I can't count those. My sub runs for another 10 days, so I might take the time to check again.
Next is probably Diablo 2, but that was 20 years ago, when this stuff wasn't really automatically tracked.
On Steam I have two idle games at 800 hours, FF14 650h, both Nioh games 600h each.
for sure wow… i remember in xfire days it logged like 20-25k hrs
… i literally have nightmares where my character is reaching out of a black void sobbing “please im so lonely come back and play with me”
fuck that whole game
I've been playing a Half-Life mod called Sven Coop since 1999. I play almost daily, if only for a half an hour when I get home to unwind. Multiple server owners have given me admin rights to help manage their servers so sometimes I'm just there to kick griefers or change levels that are broken so people don't leave. There are many thousands of user made levels. People are still making them. The mod is still getting updated. Just did actually.
It wasn't added to Steam until 2016. So there was no way for me to track play hours until then. Since 2016 it shows that I have a little over 3000 hours. And I used to play more before I became an adult and had to do adult things. So I can only imagine what my total hours are.
10,000 hours? And that's probably conservative.
I will have been playing regularly for 26 years this January.
Well, I'll say the usual, CS2, TF2, and L4D2.. with a combined total playtime this year of 60 hours.. (most on TF2)
Because.. I've been playing this game.. called Wuthering Waves., it doesn't have any hours, only days, but if I had to guess.. around 1200 hours. It's a gacha game. Like Genshin Impact so... yeah, I'm a F2P though, and I've been enjoying it (with a few exceptions)
Aside from that, Honkai Star Rail is second.. with probably around the same hours.. another gacha game. Then Zenless Zone Zero, as another commenter mentioned. Another gacha game.
In my phone, I guess I play Clash of Clans and Pokemon Go occasionally.
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.
Top 12 by play time. Definitely wouldn't have guessed some of these were up there. I'll often leave a game running while doing something else, which skews the results. I'll have to check what gog galaxy says later.
just pasted a screen snip so hopefully that worked. Not pictured: League of Legends which CS:GO only wishes it could be, Runescape (either of them) which is counted in months and Minecraft if it counted my hours would be 5 figures at least.
you cannotsimply quit civilization only after the tutorial...
No comment.
I saw the OP and I was thinking "those are rookie numbers"
This is more like it.
And I'm still not very good. I blame being close to 50 on it.
As long as you're having fun, you're doing everything right.
My most played game over the last few years has been a timer I use to study for my statistics degree. With the steamdeck, I find myself hopping from game to game just to see how my oldies run. I might play 20 hours a week across 20 different games. Then do a 9-5 stint with the pomo timer on to do get projects going.
If you have ADHD The Legend of Pomodoro is not the cure but it makes getting difficult things done manageable. It's pretty much an idler.
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.
The culling was nice until they ruined it, hunt was nice until they finally ran me off with their monetization efforts, valves deadlock is climbing my playtime ranks though. It's now 7th place at 224 hours.
Rimworld: 1000 hours
7 Days to die: 500 hours
Valheim: 350 hours
Against the Storm: 300 hours
Skyrim: 275 hours
