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.
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.
Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af
I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships
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).
Minecraft.
Your mother (and I) play Counter-Strike 1.6
4000hrs in Dayz. No game like Dayz has ever been able to give me the same adrenaline rush, it's just so intense.
If you want to go waaaay back before there was even time tracking, it would no doubt be Maplestory and Warcraft 3.
For games I can provide concrete numbers for, it's Anno 1800 at nearly 500 hours, Stardew Valley at over 400, and Rocket League at nearly 300.
Over 700 hours in Skyrim. I don't know how that happened as it's not my usual game type. I usually go for shooters like Half-life or Serious Sam,b or puzzles like Portal or Talos Principle.
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.
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:
Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.
Stellaris for me…
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.)
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.
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)
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.
My games with over 1k hours (approximately):
Skyrim - 5,300
HITMAN - 1,350
Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200
Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring
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.
Wurm Online must have been the one I sunk the most time into. Hey! Thanks for reminding me Planetside 2 exists!
skyrim, 307 hours
Blockland... played a lot, for years. Before Minecraft, before it came to steam. It turned me onto Tribes.
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:
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.
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.
