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.
World of Warcraft
On my first character alone it was 370+ days at some point, and I retired her when the first time expansion came out. Safe to say I've spent years on that game, even though I don't even remember how long ago I quit.
Yep, my main has around 400 and I don't even want to think about adding up all the many alts and dead HC characters at this point ... They don't call it world of warcrack for no reason. I will say I have had a ton of fun with it over the last 15 years. I've only played casually witha few very brief stints of raiding a little more seriously.
I have no concrete numbers, but 1000s of hours in Minecraft and League Of Legends and about 1000h in Valorant
I know it's a bit off topic, but is PlanetSide 2 approachable for new players still? I loved the original and tried the sequel when it came out but didn't get much of a chance to play it. I'd be interested in giving it a shot
Over the past year? Probably Vampire Survivors.
As of late? Doom (the 2016 reboot).
Of all time? I'm actually not sure, especially if you include my pre-internet / pre-always-being-spied-on-and-tracked history. But probably it would be one of the Street Fighter 2 iterations.
I don't think I've even played 450 hours total of games in the past 25+ years, though. So, I'm probably a bit of an outlier around here.
About 4.5k for dota haven't played in years. I'll never play another game that much again and I'll probably never play dota again.
About 1000 hours in Elite:Dangerous, my most-played Steam game. Kinda bums me out that it was all 2020-2022 gameplay for the first 900 hours but I haven't had time to get back into.
Valheim continues it's slow burn at about 400 hours since 2020.
No times on Xbox games, at least not from the OS. Fortnite has probably become my top game there. Whatever. It's not just for my entertainment. Assassin's Creed Odyssey I think had somewhere over 200 hours in the save file time. I'd love to know how many hours I put into Forza Motorsports 4 when custom paint schemes was a technological feat. Ace Combat 4/5/7 also have a ton of replays for me since the bonus medals are so tangible. Far Cry 2 doesn't have a ton of hours, but I was definitely infatuated with it circa 2010. That night time desert still calls to me
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Civ 5. Those two took over my life for a while.
Rocket league. 8000 hours. Haven't played in about two years.
Second would be HOMM3.
3300 hours on Destiny. I love the game, I've made long friendships through it, it's not perfect, but it brings me joy.
Not a lot of single game no lifers on here... https://i.imgur.com/H9PWPxq.png Obv wallpaper engine, clicker, and perfect tower are idle things so most of those hours aren't active so pretty much every other game I have is under 200 hours.
Minecraft probs has like 5k+ tho.
I have no life. Also my /played in WoW is in months if not over a year.

GTA 5 (online side) - 1,622
Oxygen Not Included - 1,308
Path of Exile - 1,251
7 Days to Die - 865
Warframe - 705
Elite Dangerous - 672
Rimworld - 505
All my games with over 100 hours playtime. Outside of those, probably Minecraft which must be over 2000 and some console games, maybe a couple Zelda games and Persona 3 FES at 100-200
edit: if you're looking for recommendations, I definitely say Spelunky 2. Try to go for all the achievements and it's a super difficult grind. Probably the hardest game I've played but very rewarding
Easily minecraft. I love just fiddling with making random machines or decorating or optimizing pathways. Sometimes i just want to run around with a flaming sword and kill every cow i see
I really enjoyed Risk of Rain 1 but I don't get why people like Risk of Rain 2. They completely changed the game and it plays like shit. Is it only possible to like it if you didn't play the first one?
I really did not enjoy Risk of Rain, RoR2 however I played many hours of.
I only played RoR 2 and i never understood RoR 1.
Maybe you're right - two different audiences?
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.
team fortress 2, 3100 legion td2, 750 cyberpunk 2077, 680
Probably Team Fortress 2. It was a comfort game for me when I studied university.
Haven’t played it in a great while now. Heard there’s a bad bot situation with it right now.
My most played game over the last few years has been a timer I use to study for my statistics degree. With the steamdeck, I find myself hopping from game to game just to see how my oldies run. I might play 20 hours a week across 20 different games. Then do a 9-5 stint with the pomo timer on to do get projects going.
If you have ADHD The Legend of Pomodoro is not the cure but it makes getting difficult things done manageable. It's pretty much an idler.
Swtor and surviving Mars. Both around the 2000 hours mark.
Fallout / NV and Skyrim, each around 1000 hours
I do love those games.
It's Skullgirls by a mile, at over 1600 hours. There's always some way to push your game to the next level, and there's always a strategy and combination of characters you can put together that's effective and no one has tried before. Next is Guilty Gear Strive, at over 700 hours, and the Roman Cancel system is so deep that there's always room to be clever with it.
Looking at some other games I've played a ton, besides fighting games, I could probably sink hundreds more hours into Baldur's Gate 3 and Mercenary Kings if they ever got expansions or sequels, but I don't think those things are going to happen.
Those are rookie numbers
I have played a lot of FFXIV, but have stopped playing for a couple years now. Spending a fair chunk of time in Street Fighter and Monster Hunter, but I have a feeling that will change over the next year with Assetto Corsa Competizione and AC Evo potentially taking the monster hunter spots.
Think I have about 1000 hours in Isaac
Not tracked on Steam but Deus Ex (Randomizer mod), The 7th Guest (speedruns), and a few hundred hours in Overwatch
