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 - 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
Wurm Online must have been the one I sunk the most time into. Hey! Thanks for reminding me Planetside 2 exists!
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.
On Steam... CS2 + CS:GO is probably at the top. I used to compete in league play. Practice, scrims, and matches and all that.
2nd is CS:S despite my last real session being 12 years ago, but that may be soon toppled by Elden Ring or 7 Days to Die.
Who knows how much time I've spent in LoL or WoW but I'm sure it's in the "several thousand hours" magnitude for each.
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.
Finally someone mentions Factorio, especially since the DLC just came out.
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.
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.
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.
For example Path of exile: 3100 hours on steam, on standalone client it should be much more.
EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours
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.
I have around 500 hours in PAYDAY 2. Awesome game, too bad that the developers are unable to stop trying to go bankrupt...
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
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
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
I got suckered into playing 800+ hours of GTA Online and paying thousands of SEK for shark cards over a year or two before I realized what a terrible game it is.
I was addicted to it, and paid money every month to buy shark cards.
When my work situation improved however, I took a few steps back and realized that I had wasted a lot of money on it and that I was only chasing the dragon that was just out of reach, kept away from me by carefully crafted mental mechanics of the game.
I was disgusted and refused to participate further.
I uninstalled it right away and have never looked back.
Super proud of you internet stranger. Addictions fucking suck and are hard to break. Congratulations!
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.
2k in tf2
Best war themed hat simulator on the market
I have no life. Also my /played in WoW is in months if not over a year.
Rimworld, way too much Rimworld. A big part of it is that I'll often have it one a second computer during the workday just on pause to pop in during downtime but I guess that still counts as playtime just being loaded.
cracktorio
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.
I liked Starfield as well man, I'm with you! Fallout 4 as well =]
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.
My steam top 10 in hours
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.
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.
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.
