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.
Got pretty addicted to Rocket League for a while. Had no idea I'd love The Binding of Isaac so much too.
I've been playing a lot of ZZZ since I haven't been on my computer for gaming all that much. Can't recommend it if you can't stomach gacha mechanics, the energy thing and weekly caps on endgame progression suck. I just enjoyed the main story and the character side stories enough to finish everything and grind up my roster to 50/60.
On steam, CS:GO with 2k+ hours. CS2 is shit tho.
Other than that, literally countless months in Minecraft.
I've been saying the same thing! CS2 is the worst update to a game I've ever seen
For example Path of exile: 3100 hours on steam, on standalone client it should be much more.
somehow skyrim still reigns far above all my other games in the sheer number of hours i put into it (1200h), teenage escapism really picked Tamriel as my digital safe space huh, second highest is terraria with 520h
i bet if my time spent across the various versions and mod packs of Minecraft was counted it would surpass both, but alas, no counter for that (though just adding all my wynncraft characters' time together it's over 150h)
I also have like 150 hours in PlanetSide 2. But it's because I left it running one day on accident and it counted all the extra hours as "playing"
I've got over a thousand in Space Engineers, although some of that is from leaving it on overnight to refine materials. Or possibly exiting the game, but forgetting to actually leave the main menu. Does Steam track time when the computer is asleep?
But I've likely got close to ten times that number in Dwarf Fortress. I've been playing it off and on for close to a decade and a half now, and when I get into it whole days can just fly by.
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.
I was big into it at the end of 2.0 and into 3.0. Sometime around the special infected were added, I lost interest
Over 6000 hours on Dota2, I became passionate about the esports scene, only to eventually realize that multiplayer competition has little to do with art.
My top 10 (in order of most hours played) on Steam:
Path of Exile and Counterstrike both are over 1000 hours for me.
Almost 5k hours of FFXIV, nothing else I can check even comes close (LoL from my teenage years might win, but who knows).
It's ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.
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.
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.
According to Steam:
I haven't seriously played any of them over the last year though. RL has been run into the ground by greed. GTA V was always greedy, but was still some fun to fck around in. However it isn't really relevant anymore. PC2 was replaced for me by Assetto Corsa (5th place, 170 hours) which has great mods and better physics.
Also, this is only Steam. Combining Steam and Uplay numbers, Trackmania 2020 probably 2nd place with just over 300 hours. And LoL may also be top 3 even though I haven't played in years. Likewise Beyond All Reason may be getting close to the top 3, but I have no way of knowing since it doesn't track the playtime afaik.
Uh oh I have 517 hours in Planetside 2. That's only counting Steam game time, and not using the standalone client before I played on Steam or time spent in the closed beta.
I have almost 1,000 hours in Final Fantasy XIV and I have only finished the main game and first expansion. Although I mainly played before the first expansion came out and got back into it in 2023.
Other games include: World of Tanks Blitz with 755 hours on Steam, not counting mobile; Lord of the Rings Online with 714 on Steam, not counting standalone client before it was on Steam; Elite Dangerous with 687 hours; Star Wars The Old Republic with 572 hours on Steam, not counting the standalone client before it was on Steam; Elden Ring with 360 hours; Mount & Blade Bannerlord with 180 hours.
Honorable mention: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on original XBox. I don't know how many hours I sunk into that, but it was a favorite of mine.
My steam top 10 in hours
My personal top playtime games with hours:
Minecraft - untracked but I can confidently state 10,000+ hours.
War Thunder - 4,700 hours
CS:GO/CS2 - 1,900 hours
Dota 2 - 1,700 hours
Gmod - 1,400 hours
Civ V - 800 hours
Escape from Tarkov - 2500h Elite Dangerous - 800h Kerbal Space Program - 300h Satisfactory - 250h and still going up ^^
2k hours on DotA2. No regrets. It’s an amazing game. I loved “studying” that shit. Optimizing my game.
I was never really that good but that isn’t the point
