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.

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.

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.

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.

[–] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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

[–] truxnell@infosec.pub 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

Factorio - 1200hrs

TF2 - ??? But lots

Counterstrike source - ??? As above

Satisfactory - 150

Rimworld/hell divers 2 /wargame red dragon / both new xcoms - 100-150hrs

I would have high scores on other titles before steam started tracking playtime / pre-steam

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)

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

This is the first time I've ever come across another PS2 player out in the wild. I played on PS4 so I don't have exact hours but I stuck with it for over 2+ years back in 2017. One of my most played games for sure.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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"

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I've got 4.5k in Elder Scrolls Online, at this point I'd only recommend it if you like elder scrolls lore.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

My steam top 10 in hours

  1. EU4 - 1384
  2. Rocket League - 1252

  4. Skyrim SE - 813
  5. Stormworks - 720
  6. CK2 - 555
  7. FO4 - 456
  8. Skyrim - 450
  9. Warframe - 369
  10. ETS2 - 360

It's ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

Path of Exile and Counterstrike both are over 1000 hours for me.

[–] germtm_@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] Burn1ngBull3t@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Escape from Tarkov - 2500h Elite Dangerous - 800h Kerbal Space Program - 300h Satisfactory - 250h and still going up ^^

[–] Vipsu@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

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

According to Steam:

  1. Rocket League: 2038 hours
  2. GTA V: 260 hours
  3. Project Cars 2: 234 hours

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] StinkyRedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Rocket league, easily 10k hours then escape from tarkov with nearly 5k hours.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Got pretty addicted to Rocket League for a while. Had no idea I'd love The Binding of Isaac so much too.

Almost 5k hours of FFXIV, nothing else I can check even comes close (LoL from my teenage years might win, but who knows).

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Definitely WoW overall, but I don't know how much time. Minecraft is around 300 I think. Factorio is a fairly recent addition for me, but is leading my steam library now, with Terraria in second. I assume RuneScape would be a contender as well. Maybe ESO too... I used to have a bit of an MMO problem.

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.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

On steam, CS:GO with 2k+ hours. CS2 is shit tho.

Other than that, literally countless months in Minecraft.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've been saying the same thing! CS2 is the worst update to a game I've ever seen
