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.
I have a lot more hours on Counter-Strike Source than that, but that was before Steam started counting hours. I also played a ton of Sims 2 and 3.
Almost 1000h (~970) in Deep Rock Galactic
Rock and Stone!
edit: over the course of a few years on and off. Playing since Beta/early access :)
I have no life. Also my /played in WoW is in months if not over a year.
Just reached my 300th hour in Deep Rock Galactic, so far I'm loving it :)
About 4.5k for dota haven't played in years. I'll never play another game that much again and I'll probably never play dota again.
Europa Universalis IV: 2000h
Team Fortress 2: 3000h
I've got over a thousand in Space Engineers, although some of that is from leaving it on overnight to refine materials. Or possibly exiting the game, but forgetting to actually leave the main menu. Does Steam track time when the computer is asleep?
But I've likely got close to ten times that number in Dwarf Fortress. I've been playing it off and on for close to a decade and a half now, and when I get into it whole days can just fly by.
For example Path of exile: 3100 hours on steam, on standalone client it should be much more.

World of Warcraft
On my first character alone it was 370+ days at some point, and I retired her when the first time expansion came out. Safe to say I've spent years on that game, even though I don't even remember how long ago I quit.
I know it's a bit off topic, but is PlanetSide 2 approachable for new players still? I loved the original and tried the sequel when it came out but didn't get much of a chance to play it. I'd be interested in giving it a shot
I have around 500 hours in PAYDAY 2. Awesome game, too bad that the developers are unable to stop trying to go bankrupt...
All my games with over 100 hours playtime. Outside of those, probably Minecraft which must be over 2000 and some console games, maybe a couple Zelda games and Persona 3 FES at 100-200
edit: if you're looking for recommendations, I definitely say Spelunky 2. Try to go for all the achievements and it's a super difficult grind. Probably the hardest game I've played but very rewarding
STARBOUND!!! Dude you're the only ever person I've run into. That was one for the first games I supported in Early Access and hold a special place in my heart. I somehow lost my original save on that game and was utterly devastated. At some point I'll go do another run bit damn did that hit me hard. I had countless bases, my shop was so decked out. Ugh.
Easily minecraft. I love just fiddling with making random machines or decorating or optimizing pathways. Sometimes i just want to run around with a flaming sword and kill every cow i see
I really enjoyed Risk of Rain 1 but I don't get why people like Risk of Rain 2. They completely changed the game and it plays like shit. Is it only possible to like it if you didn't play the first one?
I only played RoR 2 and i never understood RoR 1.
Maybe you're right - two different audiences?
I really did not enjoy Risk of Rain, RoR2 however I played many hours of.
Path of exile. 5k on steam but easily double that since they have their own client. Grim dawn. About 350h. Path of exile 2. What? 295 hours already? No waaay. Diablo 2. Duh. Last Epoch. 250h ish if I were to guess.
EverQuest - 8k+ (don't actually know since I've been playing since 1999 across many TLPs)
Phantasy Star Online 2 - 6k hours ( including JP servers and global)
Warframe - 4k hours
Guild wars 2 - 3.3k
Destiny 1&2 - 2500h
GTAO - 800h
No man's sky - 550h
Factorio - 1200hrs
TF2 - ??? But lots
Counterstrike source - ??? As above
Satisfactory - 150
Rimworld/hell divers 2 /wargame red dragon / both new xcoms - 100-150hrs
I would have high scores on other titles before steam started tracking playtime / pre-steam
Does Mbin count? =P
Jokes aside, imo, Skyrim, Starbound and Final Fantasy XII are great games to sink a long time. Of those, Skyrim I played the least due to life happening, but was enough to sink a few dozen hours already. Starbound easily surpassed the 600 hours for me, even if I barely use mods or played multiplayer. And Final Fantasy XII, on my first save I got to the final boss, I was nearing 300 hours already, and for a game originally on a 4.7 GB disc, it has a lot to do, so much so that, in that save, I was just starting to scratch past the surface.
Literally thousands of hours in stellaris and space engineers. Recently satisfactory as well.
When I was younger I also played a metric fuckton of world of Warcraft, though that thankfully is a lot less addictive nowadays.
About 1000 hours in Elite:Dangerous, my most-played Steam game. Kinda bums me out that it was all 2020-2022 gameplay for the first 900 hours but I haven't had time to get back into.
Valheim continues it's slow burn at about 400 hours since 2020.
No times on Xbox games, at least not from the OS. Fortnite has probably become my top game there. Whatever. It's not just for my entertainment. Assassin's Creed Odyssey I think had somewhere over 200 hours in the save file time. I'd love to know how many hours I put into Forza Motorsports 4 when custom paint schemes was a technological feat. Ace Combat 4/5/7 also have a ton of replays for me since the bonus medals are so tangible. Far Cry 2 doesn't have a ton of hours, but I was definitely infatuated with it circa 2010. That night time desert still calls to me
for the last year or two its a tie between elden ring and cyberpunk2077. I actually just completed them for the first time in this last week.
