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.
on xbox with its time tracking, i think rock band 4 takes the cake with uhhhh i have no clue maybe 100 days? i cant check right now
unofficially rock band 3, i used to play it 8 hours a day everyday
Shout out Planetside. Haven't logged on in a while, I wonder how many hours I have in it. I've got over 2k hours in Civ V, over 1k in xcom 2, csgo, halo mcc. Who knows how many hours in Minecraft and fallout that were never logged
Those are rookie numbers
Think I have about 1000 hours in Isaac
GTA 5 (Online).
Total: 2.253h
Estimated time spent in Online: Probably about 1900-2000h
The only reason I can spend so much time in there is because I have endless (had about 500mil) modded cash.
I never paid R* a dime beyond the game.
EverQuest - 8k+ (don't actually know since I've been playing since 1999 across many TLPs)
Phantasy Star Online 2 - 6k hours ( including JP servers and global)
Warframe - 4k hours
Guild wars 2 - 3.3k
Destiny 1&2 - 2500h
GTAO - 800h
No man's sky - 550h
My top 9 games sorted by playtime, with almost 1000hrs for Valheim and about 300 for dwarf fortress.
Not tracked on Steam but Deus Ex (Randomizer mod), The 7th Guest (speedruns), and a few hundred hours in Overwatch
All I'm going to say is those are rookie times for PS2. I might have spent that many hours in a Biolab.
Swtor and surviving Mars. Both around the 2000 hours mark.
Fallout / NV and Skyrim, each around 1000 hours
I do love those games.
just pasted a screen snip so hopefully that worked. Not pictured: League of Legends which CS:GO only wishes it could be, Runescape (either of them) which is counted in months and Minecraft if it counted my hours would be 5 figures at least.
World of Warcraft is probably still in the lead even though I stopped playing years ago. It would be in the thousands of hours, which dwarfs anything else I've played.
Path of exile. 5k on steam but easily double that since they have their own client. Grim dawn. About 350h. Path of exile 2. What? 295 hours already? No waaay. Diablo 2. Duh. Last Epoch. 250h ish if I were to guess.
I have around 500 hours in PAYDAY 2. Awesome game, too bad that the developers are unable to stop trying to go bankrupt...
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.
for the last year or two its a tie between elden ring and cyberpunk2077. I actually just completed them for the first time in this last week.
1800 hours in Noita. Just last week started what's become a perfect god run (circle of vigor and transmuted all polymorphing liquids) to get the golden necklace and consider it beaten.
Really funny that this game isn't even on anyone else's list. I guess I really am special, haha
Factorio cranking up towards 800 hours with the new expansion out. I dread to think how many hours got sunk into WoW over the years....
Rocket League over a thousand, then Crusader Kings III about 600, then CS 1.6 and Monster Hunter World with 400.
CS 1.6 must‘ve started logging those stats after my „prime“ though, I basically played nothing else way back when lol
Wow around 3k hours, swtor 1.5k, dcs world 2k, counter strike source 1.5k, arma 3 900, space engineers 850 hours and san andreas multiplayer around 700
Probably most hours I've spend where with Conquer Online back in the days before mysteryboxes where introduced. After that probably puzzle and dragons.
Luckily after those games I learned to question my time spent in these games. (Basically just one day after grinding tower of gods for umpteenth time to spend my 1k stamina/energy, I asked myself wtf am I doing with my life, was I having fun?)
After that my most played games have been Grim dawn, Sacred2, Monster hunter world, No Man sky, Incredible adventures of van helsing then various 2d fighters like Blazblue, undernight inbirth and Granblue fantasy versus that I play on locals.
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.
Escape from Tarkov - 2500h Elite Dangerous - 800h Kerbal Space Program - 300h Satisfactory - 250h and still going up ^^
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
here are my timesinks.
there are slight caveats to that data. first of all, i actually have more time spent within Terraria, since i have about 144 hours recorded in tModLoader.
and second of all, i do estimate about 250 hours spent in Fallout: New Vegas as well. but since i own it on GOG and not Steam, i do not know for sure.
