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.

Well, I seem to like first-person shooters:

but realistically, I have like, many dozens of games with like 30-80 hours played, I'm really into variety gaming.

The only exceptions to this are RuneScape (OSRS and RS2 back in the day), World of Warcraft (I played a ton of Cata until maybe a year before Legion), Starcraft 2, League of Legends, and Osu.

I have over 400 hours on Rust which is just 6 months after playing the first time. But there are players with over 10,000 hours in this game.

This is the first time I've ever come across another PS2 player out in the wild. I played on PS4 so I don't have exact hours but I stuck with it for over 2+ years back in 2017. One of my most played games for sure.

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.

EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I have over 6,000 hours in Dota2.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 24 minutes ago

Dang, I was feeling real smug looking down on these people with my 4134.1 hours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago

I bet you've been cursed at in every living language. At 600 hours I called it quits. That was maybe 8 years ago. Couldn't hack it. But, godspeed to you, great creep slayer.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 39 minutes ago

I feel you man. It's few and far between where there's a game you can easily drop / pick up on a whim with limited time. The only one that comes to mind would be Powerwash Sim but Infully realize that's not for everyone. Wish I wasn't so exhausted I'd go try to pull a list for you. Maybe Cult of the Lamb? Anyway, hardcore Minecraft fan myself. Consider it one of my fave zen games. Enjoy man! Merry Christmas!

  1. gmod 1,800 hrs
  2. Terraria 800 hrs
  3. Factorio 800 hrs
  4. Ksp 600 hrs
  5. Civ V 500 hrs
[–] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago

Fuck yeah Factorio! You should give Satisfactory a shot!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

2k in tf2

Best war themed hat simulator on the market

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

For example Path of exile: 3100 hours on steam, on standalone client it should be much more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 37 minutes ago

Oh my god yes Dyson Sphere Project. If you liked it and Factorio give Satisfactory a shot. It's first person but an amazing experience.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

I have around 500 hours in PAYDAY 2. Awesome game, too bad that the developers are unable to stop trying to go bankrupt...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 36 minutes ago

Holy shit I have no idea how many hours I have in GW2 but...yeah, a lot. Man I keep wanting to get back into it but it's so hard to, for me at least

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] shadowedcross 2 points 5 hours ago

My steam top 10 in hours

  1. EU4 - 1384
  2. Rocket League - 1252
  3. Stellaris - 1031
  4. Skyrim SE - 813
  5. Stormworks - 720
  6. CK2 - 555
  7. FO4 - 456
  8. Skyrim - 450
  9. Warframe - 369
  10. ETS2 - 360

I've played "Unturned" a lot few years back. I have 2100+ hours in it. Realistically it'd be around 2000 or a little bit under.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Similar story here. For me what killed my enjoyment of it was the developer teasing and announcing Unturned 4.x but taking so long to polish it, that Unturned 3.x got abandoned.

He's come back to Unturned 3.x since I stopped playing, but the fun's no longer there for me anymore. I enjoyed the crap out of the arena gamemode and the creative servers (I basically played it more like a sandbox than a survival PVP game) but neither really have players anymore.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Dota (and mostly every multiplayer competitive) is very addictive on make you think you are learning something new while you are just trying to solve the new patch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

And I'm still not very good. I blame being close to 50 on it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

I have no life. Also my /played in WoW is in months if not over a year. I don't have an addictive personality

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

It's ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

I have like 2500 hours in destiny 2. ☹️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

[–] [email protected] 16 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Neverwinter Nights, probably 10k plus hours over the last 22 years, and Dead by Daylight (1666 hours).

Great games, both. I DM a weekly campaign on Neverwinter Nights.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Elden Ring is getting close to 1600 hours for me 😅 and I have about 1200 in Stellaris. But I probably played Jak and Daxter and Metroid Prime for thousands of unrecorded hours as a kid.
