I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

    In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That’s over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

    Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.

    The above two I don’t regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

    Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

    Edit: Added hours!

      It’s undoubtedly WoW for me too, but I don’t know how many hours. I wish there was a way to check without re-subscribing.

      If it ever gets added to Xbox Game Pass I’ll probably give it another whirl.

      Also Rocket League. I’ve got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can’t do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.

        Embarrassingly, I typically only.pkay ranked and am D2 in both 2v and 3v … but, I haven’t played in 2 or 3 months now and I understand they’ve changed the MMR or how players are ranked. Btw, I’m old

      Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?

      I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like “Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC”. It was tough :-/

        They’ve been working on redoing and slimming down some of the base game to cut some of the fat. You’re not wrong about the structure. The story itself especially in the expansions 3/4 of them could stand on proud amongst the best of final fantasy stories. MMOs aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, though, I get it.

      FFXIV for sure is up there. Probably my most hours in a single game. The first several Monster Hunter games are so similar that I kinda want to count all their hours together. If I did that then the MH franchise MAY surpass XIV. Either one is a hell of an experience and I don’t regret any of it.

    The game with most hours has to be Minecraft. I don’t know the exact amount but it has to be at around 4000 hours.

    Second is CSGO with 3600 hours

    Third is league of legends with around 3000 hours

    Followed by Gmod with 900 hours

    Fortnite with 600 hours

    Fall guys with 500 hours

    And after that it doesn’t really make sense to list them

    I was very addicted to gaming in my youth .

      I forgot about The Nintendo Switch. I have like 700 Hours in BoTW. I don’t know how you can see the playtime on the WIIU but since the release of BoTW I played on the WIIU about every day I got the Time to do so.

      Same here! I think I had over 400 hours on botw. Now onto totk, and loving every minute. After reading this thread I just told my husband he should be thankful I’m not into WoW.

    Life.

    9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can’t play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don’t get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

    However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it’s much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!

    Minecraft. I don’t know how many hours, but I bought it before nether portals were a thing and I’ve been playing it ever since. Sometimes a game just clicks for you.

      What do you even have left to do in Minecraft at this point? Not asking to be rude, but as an ADHD guy I actually can’t imagine playing a game that much!

      I probably spent the most time in Red Dead Redemption 2 or ARK, but that’s because I went for 100% completion and there were always things to do for me. Once I completed the games (about 400 hours each), I was over it.

        Modpacks. There are hundreds. And probably tens of thousands of mods. You can easily make your own modpacks nowadays, using a launcher and config editor.

        It’s been so long since I’ve played the vanilla version, I haven’t seen any content from the last few updates. I’ve started a vanilla world just to explore them.

    There are two games that I have spent a considerable amount of my life playing Planetside 2 and Path of Exile.

    Planetside 2 released it was exactly the game that I was looking for. The experience of playing in an organised outfit was the best multiplayer gaming I’ve ever experienced.

    Path of Exile is like a sledgehammer of a learning curve. Never had played an ARPG before this but once I got to maps my soul was taken indeed.

    Before this left4dead 2 was the game that I had suck many hours into - what a game!

    Diablo 2. Heroes of Might & Magic 3 coming next.

    I might have more hours @ World of Warcraft, but that’s outright drug and wasn’t played for most of time voluntarily.
