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.

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'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.

Probably Diablo 2 back in the day. No idea how much hours were sunk into that.

I must prelude my statement with two facts of life: I was meant to be an MMO player, and controller is my way of doing it (yes, I know K+M is technically better, bite me)

That out of the way, 3667 hours in FFXIV

OK let's see your transmogs though

[–] 31337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

CK2 - 400h

Fallout NV (guessing most of this has been TTW) - 190h

Stellaris - 180h

Xcom 2 - 140h

GTA 5 - 99h

Cities Skylines - 95h

Skyrim - 90h

Civ5 - 85h

Xcom - 83h

The other games I've played are pretty much the standard play-through times. (< 70h)

[–] Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Path of Exile - 1000+ hours

I wish I could filter out idle and clicker games. My biggies are Factorio and KSP for non-idle games. Several thousand hours in each.

[–] GetKebab@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

For me it's 7 Days to Die, at 1580 hrs.

[–] rbits@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Don't have a number for it since I have it on itch.io, but I've put a lot of time into Celeste. Beating everything twice (including b-sides, c-sides, and farewell) took a while, but I've also put a bunch of time into the amazing mods it has, like Strawberry Jam and Glyph.

[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af

I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships

I have but one question.

Do you wear spandex, OP?

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Probably either Left4Dead 2 or the latest Hitman game

Spelunky 1 and Spelunky 2 by far. 1000+ hours in each I still never got to the Sunken City :-(

Beyond that: Dwarf Fortress, Road Rash/Road Redemption, Oblivion, The Halos (1-3)

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

No idea what Steam has to say, but I've played more games for longer than Steam has been around, so here's a guess of mine in no particular order:

  • Skyrim
  • Morrowind
  • Fallout (3, NV, 4, London combined)
  • Ultima II
  • Doom II
  • Grim Fandango
[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

In roughly chronological order: Doom (who knows how many hours), Quake\Quake Team Fortress Mod (countless hours), Diablo\Diablo 2 (countless hours), Quake 2 (hundreds of hours), Quake 3 (thousands of hours), CounterStrike Mod (thousands of hours), Day of Defeat Mod, CS 1.6, Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress 2 (thousands of hours), World of Warcraft (years of play time), ARK: Survival Evolved (1000+), Day Z mod (1000+), Day Z (standalone, 1000+) 35 years of gaming.. I'm sure I'm missing stuff, I'm not even including consoles.

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.
