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.
Stardew Valley: 421 Soace Rangers HD: 375 Cities Skylines: 363
Felt like more at the time, for all three. Guess I didn't used to game as much as I do now. I've owned X4 for two weeks and I'm at 107 hours, so it's on pace to smash those numbers.
skyrim, 307 hours
I have like 2500 hours in destiny 2. ☹️
Your mother (and I) play Counter-Strike 1.6
Assetto Corsa (in VR). Civilization was mostly my ex-wife. eFootball PES is kind of a weird one, but it has really great mods that have now been spun off into a totally free singleplayer game called SP Football Life.
I've played a little bit of Warframe...
Hearts of Iron 4 at 1200 hours, Crusader Kings 2 at 1000 hours, Terraria at 600, Team Fortress 2 at 300 hours.
Also Rimworld should be somewhere at the 500 mark, but a lot of my hours weren't recorded on Steam (I have bought the game now though).
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.
Blockland... played a lot, for years. Before Minecraft, before it came to steam. It turned me onto Tribes.
Add ~1800 hours of LoL and ~800 hours of Minecraft
I have not touched LoL and TF2 for years, and only play dota and Warframe sporadically now. I'd still recommend all of them except LoL though.
I used to have about 4000 hours logged in tf2 and counter strike source, but they dropped thier playtime database at some point since then 😅 so now my top one is rocket league at around 600 hours
Stellaris for me…
Wurm Online must have been the one I sunk the most time into. Hey! Thanks for reminding me Planetside 2 exists!
2k in tf2
Best war themed hat simulator on the market
Resonite :3
I’ve spent a lot of time on the XCOM games. Installed 2 recently and having almost as much fun as the first time (this is like the 10th).
I’ve tried Risk of Rain 2 a few times. Like the comment I left about Rim World below, it just doesn’t click with me and I love shooters. Wondering what I’m missing that everyone else sees.
Yeah XCOM 2 is one of my top games by playtime. That game has stolen so many nights with "one more mission". Then they went and did that kickass expansion.
I tried War of the Chosen but find the story confusing. Did they allude to these additional factions in 2 or do they just drop you in the story as if in mid stream?
My numbers seem low compared to a lot of people here, but I also own almost 4,000 games on Steam, so I don't spend tons of time on a single game.
Also, here are my stats for 2024:
The Long Dark, I start a new sandbox every winter. 650+ hrs. I have other games I played for much longer but haven’t played them lately.
Definitely Minecraft. I don't play it much anymore but when it was a kid I used to play it all the time.
Probably being paying that game on and off for 15 years. I have to save a pocket money in order to buy it, I think it was about £12, no I have a mortgage.
EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours
Can't access my time spent right now, but between Warframe and idle/incremental games, THOUSANDS of hours.
Does that count as cheating?
NGU Idle, almost 4k. Warframe, about 2300 roughly.
(I lied about not having access.)
Minecraft.
4000hrs in Dayz. No game like Dayz has ever been able to give me the same adrenaline rush, it's just so intense.
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.
On Steam*:
Not counting idle games, which have an artificially inflated playtime:
*Not counting games on other platforms (minecraft) or games obtained through extralegal means (spacewar!)
**Also most recently played
Minecraft and some of the Touhou games (I haven't been keeping up with the newer ones). I don't have those getting time tracked on Steam. Stardew Valley is the next most-played, and my highest played on Steam.
I also sank SO MUCH time into Nintendogs as a kid I think it is worth a mention.
If idle games count, PokéClicker.
