Games

Probably League of Legends, I don‘t know how to check how many and don‘t really care, but I‘d be surprised if I hadn‘t spent more than in Rocket League which clocks in at 1100 hours. I don‘t play much of either anymore though. Counterstrike 1.6 is at 400 hours but that‘s gotta be a lie and way more as well lol

Final Fantasy XI. Something like 400-500 days, so roughly 10k hours. Though I haven't seriously played since 2011.

World of Warcraft - over 11k hrs

Guild Wars 2 - over 5k hrs

Warframe - 2200 hrs

Minecraft - who knows... a lot

Team Fortress 2

Civilisation, the original one. Got it in the 90s, and none of my computers was without it. Even now I sometimes launch it for a guick, half-day game.

I'm sure other Microprose games from that era, in particular UFO: Enemy Unknown, are on my top 10 most played games.

From modern games, I probably spent the most time playing Civ4 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Planetside 2, Arma 3, and X4 Foundations.

That's a though one... there are more games in my library that I haven't played than ones I did.

Maybe Fallout or Neverwinter Nights. Or Silent Storm.

Yes, I'm old. And waiting for my retirement to play all of those I haven't tried yet.

Overall? Probably Unreal Tournament (1999). That was when I was at the peak of my gaming time and I would play for hours most weeks and played that basically for a solid decade.

In the modern era? Warframe which Steam says I have over 700 hours in.

Talisman

Hard to say, but I would think Minecraft (over the last decade) then Factorio. If we’re factoring in games from when I was younger then it’s certainly COD followed by Halo then Gran Turismo.

Top 3:

Escape from Tarkov: 14600h

Elite Dangerous: 3600h

The Division 2: 3200h

Elite, the original one, on Commodore 64.

My list of multiple hundreds/thousands of hours include, in no particular order;

• Minecraft (unknown, been playing since browser alpha demo)
• Skyrim (600)
• Rocket League (4000)
• Fall Guys (1500)
• Stardew Valley (unknown, play multiple saves a year on different platforms)
• Vampire Survivors (400)
• No Man’s Sky (1200)

Easily Fallout 4 or No Man's Sky

7 Days to die. 1600 hrs on steam Call of Duty. 1200 hrs on steam

The game in my Steam library with the most hours played is.....PAYDAY 2.

But I didn't actually play a thousand hours of it. In the late 2010s, the heat in my condo barely worked and our self-managed association refused to acknowledge it because "nobody else [was] having problems with their heat." I had all the windows plasticed up with heavy blankets literally nailed to the wall. I had to abandon the living room and bedroom entirely. I emptied the smallest room (12x10) and moved my mattress and desk in there...In addition to the playpen for my two rabbits that took up the rest of the free space.

You might be wondering what that has to do with PAYDAY 2. Well....the game revved up my video card to max on the main menu so my PC became a supplementary heat source at night...

Good times. Thanks, PAYDAY devs!

ETA: In the spring, the guy who handled yardwork noticed the flowerbed was kind of sinking on one side of the building. That's when they discovered a leak in the radiator line...small enough that 11 units didn't notice but big enough for the water pressure to not reach the farthest unit from the boiler....the unit I owned...

When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata... Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.

...and I made a lot of alts.

100% full-blown addicted.

Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn't really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.

The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn't going to provide that fix anymore.

Then I ~~started making healthy life decisions~~ discovered Ark >_<

Pokemon, either Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Violet, I would have to look at the Switch itself to compare, but last I looked at either one it was around 400-something hours. Shiny hunting can be a surprisingly cozy time-waster, lol.

The X3 games (Reunion/Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude) would be one game with DLC today, combined they're my only 1000hr+ game. X4 is one game with DLC and is well on it's way to that record.

DayZ, I have around 3000 hours in it.

Final Fantasy XI and it's not even close.

Fallout 4 and Skyrim

As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.

Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.

Everquest by far. Then League. Then Diablo 2. I dont think theres any game that comes close to the total unrecorded amount of hours those 3 games have.

Steam says my top 3, in order, are ARMA3 (though more than half of that has to be with the game minimized as I work on scripts for mods), Team Fortress 2, and Rocket League. All have over 2000 hours, Arma 3 has slightly over 3k.

However, from 1997 to 2007 (literally haven't played it since The Orange Box released), I was playing Ultima Online for at least 8 hours a day, every day. So if that kept track of my play time, it would likely be numero uno. Diablo 2 and EverQuest would be right behind it.

2000 hours in Garry's Mod, 1300 in TF2. Third place is way behind, Hollow Knight at 180.

I was gonna check my Steam library for the numbers, but the real answer probably is Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone.

SteamDB says Rimworld, but I'm almost certain it's actually Fallout: NV, as the Nexus launcher at one point bypassed Steam and so those hours aren't represented. I have about 1100 hours in Rimworld, but probably closer to 3000 in Fallouts 3 and NV.

Lol I somehow completely forgot about Guild Wars 2. Pretty sure my age in that game is over 2 years of active playtime.

10,000 hours: World of Warcraft

2,500 hours: Diablo 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim

1,000 hours: Zelda BOTW and TOTK, Fallout 3 and NV, Diablo 2, Starcraft 2, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Pillars of Eternity, Baldur's Gate 1

Grindy first person exploration type stuff really vibes with my inner magpie I guess

I've just about got 2,000 hours in Warframe. I tend to play a lot of different games so it's hard to get big numbers in any one game.

the binding of isaac: rebirth. steam claims ~800 hours, but with the time I played offline, its probably closer to 1300-1400

Kerbal Space program (1800.8) DCS world (1172.2) Witcher 3 (1131.5) Sims 4 (838.2) Stardew Valley (579.3)

I just wish ksp2 wasn’t a massive flop and I eagerly await KSA.

I'm not sure if it's wow or League.

I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.

I have 3,400 hours in Space Engineers.

About 1,500 hours in FFXIV, 1,400 hours in DayZ, and 1,300 hours in 7 Days To Die.

Then 900 hours in Empyrion Galactic Survival, 500 hours in Baldurs Gate 3, and 300 hours in Fallout 4.

The rest are well below 200.

Minecraft

Rimworld 2300 hours or so

Dota 2. I barely enjoy it, but it's hard to find games that a friend group will agree to consistently play.

Old School RuneScape, Gran Turismo 5 & 7, The Crew 1, 2 & Motorfest and I think Midtown Madness 1 & 2 are also high on my list of most played games.

The most that I have proof of is Europa Universalis IV at a little over 1k hours, but I wouldn't be surprised if my time on Guitar Hero 3 in high school surpassed that by quite a bit. I played a lot of Guitar Hero in high school...
