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.

    Ok, so I’m 44, and my parents literally played D&D and video games with us growing up. I literally don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t gaming.

    That being said.

    According to Steam:

    Factorio: 4,330 hours

    Dyson Sphere Program: 2,506 hours

    Skyrim: 2440 hours

    Stellaris: 2,237 hours

    Dungeon Defenders: 1644 hours

    Terraria: 1630 hours

    Fallout 4: 602 hours

    Also I probably have well over 10,000 hours in 2.5 edition, 3.0, and 3.5 edition D&D. Only counting actual tabletop time.

    That’s also not counting a fuckton of games that I have played on various consoles starting with a TI-99/A and and Atari 2600 as well as most of the early Nintendo consoles. I branched out once I got to college.

    My numbers are actually quite low. I know multiple people that have 20,000+ hours in their favorite games.

      Oh my god yes Dyson Sphere Project. If you liked it and Factorio give Satisfactory a shot. It’s first person but an amazing experience.

        Satisfactory scratches that same itch, in a totally different way. Adding that third dimension throws a lot of Factorio people off, because it makes it ‘too easy’- if you build it wrong, it’s fine, just go up a level.

        Nah fam, play some more. Just going over the top song gonna cut it off the first few tiers. Especially if you want your factory to look good.

    Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.

    Best Co-Op game I’ve ever played with a marvellous community and its own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.

    Stopped playing though when they introduced the “flappy boots” minigame. I know it’s optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can’t help the feeling.

    In German I would say “die Luft ist raus” about this. Literally translated: “the air is out” and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just “meh”, although it was (very) appealing before.

    If you haven’t played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won’t regret it.

      I love the expression! Sounds close to “out of steam” in English which is used similarly… nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or “special something” is gone

    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.

    Don’t have a number for it since I have it on itch.io, but I’ve put a lot of time into Celeste. Beating everything twice (including b-sides, c-sides, and farewell) took a while, but I’ve also put a bunch of time into the amazing mods it has, like Strawberry Jam and Glyph.

    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.

      It’s been fixed for the most part, haven’t seen any bots on it when I opened it up a couple of weeks ago.

    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.

    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.

    I wish I could filter out idle and clicker games. My biggies are Factorio and KSP for non-idle games. Several thousand hours in each.

    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…

    I don’t play as much anymore, but I have roughly 1200 hours in Diablo 3.

    In Steam, my top most hours played are: Sims 3: 945 Mad Max: 609 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: 230

    Xbox doesn’t tell me the time played for all of my games, but I know for sure I have a stupid amount of hours invested in Dead Space 2 and LA Noire. It does say I have about 650 hours in Resident Evil Revelations 2, but that’s because I really enjoy Raid Mode.
