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.
4000+ hours in (edit a strategy game) as I used to be the top streamer until the publishing company fucked me around. 3500+ in Diablo 3 as I was able to Leaderboard with a solo Monk… LB’ed and didn’t earn any XP in groups… all solo!
That’s steam but the games I’ve put the most time into are:
Minecraft, must be over 10k hours.
Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, pretty sure over 10k hours combined.
There’s surely some game I’m forgetting right now, just woke up.
There are also several mobile games I must have put thousands of hours into over the years.
Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.
Best Co-Op game I’ve ever played with a marvellous community and its own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.
Stopped playing though when they introduced the “flappy boots” minigame. I know it’s optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can’t help the feeling.
In German I would say “die Luft ist raus” about this. Literally translated: “the air is out” and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just “meh”, although it was (very) appealing before.
If you haven’t played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won’t regret it.
I love the expression! Sounds close to “out of steam” in English which is used similarly… nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or “special something” is gone
That’s not very rock and stone of you
It’s was World of Warcraft before I quit.
What other games had in hours, that had in days. Probably around 500 days, mostly standing around waiting for others.
Now I play FFXIV instead.
Much healthier…
They send BABIES to fight me!
SOLDIER IS-MEEEEEEEEDIC
Same, my most played game ever. I find it funny, at least to me, a game from 2007 thats barely supported by the dev is significantly better than the other modern derivatives of tf2 like overwatch and marvel bandwaggon money maker.
I’ll tell you what it is. Freedom.
We can make servers, host servers, have our own communities and set our own rules. Hell, I haven’t played a Valve server in five years.
Overwatch isn’t a matter of better or worse. It fails to do, at base value, what I value TF2 for, freedom.
Add however many neat little gameplay mechanics you want, if I can’t play the game the way I want to, I’m not going to get into it or care.
shrug
Overwatch was good when it released then they actively made it trash
I gave it a shot within the first year it came out, only ever played ~10 hours and just didn’t find it that fun I suppose.
TF2 is one of my highest as well, but only half as many hours as you! Lots of hats… cashed out all my unusuals for an Index.
Highest is probably Diablo II+D2R, played every day in my teens, from when I got home to when I slept. Then I started playing while botting. Has to be 3k+ hours. Never been so addicted to a video game.
I’ve got close to 5000 hrs in tf2. By far my most played game ever
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!
Good luck and don’t forget to bring heat pipes!
(More realistically, given you posted this 11 hours ago; hope y’all weren’t stranded!)
Actually we ended up just fixing production on Nauvis and getting epic mech armor lol.
5500 on steam. 1500 before steam. The best game, and most value for money i have ever spent
Almost 2k here
LIVE FREE IN THE NC
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
Likewise for me.
I have upwards of 6k hours in WoW and my next closest games is Rainbow 6:Siege is ~500
I played Wow for the first 3-4 years after its launch.
I had a part time job back then, but otherwise I was playing wow. At some point my /played time passed a year, after that I refused to look. I don’t know if it ever got to two years, but I fear it may have…
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.
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.
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.
Satisfactory scratches that same itch, in a totally different way. Adding that third dimension throws a lot of Factorio people off, because it makes it ‘too easy’- if you build it wrong, it’s fine, just go up a level.
Nah fam, play some more. Just going over the top song gonna cut it off the first few tiers. Especially if you want your factory to look good.
Finally someone mentions Factorio, especially since the DLC just came out.
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.
Space station 14 - 265 hours
Elite: Dangerous - 265 hours
Space station 14 doesn’t show up because it is a play test
Which servers?
Mainly Harmony, I like low pop MRP and the players+admins are nice
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’m getting close to 1k. Such an incredibly good game. The devs are legends.
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.
I like the screenshot. I’m gonna edit my post to include mine now.
Is there still a community that plays css? I would love to play it because I’m not happy with CS2 currently.
Last time I played CSS was in 2018, so I can’t really answer that. But according to SteamDB there are currently 11000 players.
