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 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.
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.
I have around 500 hours in PAYDAY 2. Awesome game, too bad that the developers are unable to stop trying to go bankrupt...
I have no life. Also my /played in WoW is in months if not over a year.
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.
Wurm Online must have been the one I sunk the most time into. Hey! Thanks for reminding me Planetside 2 exists!
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.
I liked Starfield as well man, I'm with you! Fallout 4 as well =]
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.
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
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
cracktorio
Rimworld: 1000 hours
7 Days to die: 500 hours
Valheim: 350 hours
Against the Storm: 300 hours
Skyrim: 275 hours
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.
EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours
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.
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
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.
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.
Space station 14 - 265 hours
Elite: Dangerous - 265 hours
Space station 14 doesn't show up because it is a play test
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.
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 :)
Europa Universalis IV: 2000h
Team Fortress 2: 3000h
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.
2k in tf2
Best war themed hat simulator on the market
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
Just reached my 300th hour in Deep Rock Galactic, so far I'm loving it :)
It's ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.
