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.

Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af

I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships

[–] GetKebab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

For me it's 7 Days to Die, at 1580 hrs.

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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.

I got suckered into playing 800+ hours of GTA Online and paying thousands of SEK for shark cards over a year or two before I realized what a terrible game it is.

I was addicted to it, and paid money every month to buy shark cards.

When my work situation improved however, I took a few steps back and realized that I had wasted a lot of money on it and that I was only chasing the dragon that was just out of reach, kept away from me by carefully crafted mental mechanics of the game.

I was disgusted and refused to participate further.

I uninstalled it right away and have never looked back.

Super proud of you internet stranger. Addictions fucking suck and are hard to break. Congratulations!

I never spent a dime on it, but I did play for over 3000 hours before rock star blocked linux. I enjoyed the grind rather than the reward, so it sort of became my little safe-space game when I was really stresses out. could always just go hang out with my buds for a few hours and grind out a million bucks. I'm still kinda torn up about the anticheat situation tbh, I would gladly play alone if there were any way to play the same game. but story mode just doesnt compare for me, completly different game :(

4000+ hours in (edit a strategy game) as I used to be the top streamer until the publishing company fucked me around. 3500+ in Diablo 3 as I was able to Leaderboard with a solo Monk... LB'ed and didn't earn any XP in groups... all solo!

Rimworld, way too much Rimworld. A big part of it is that I'll often have it one a second computer during the workday just on pause to pop in during downtime but I guess that still counts as playtime just being loaded.

That's steam but the games I've put the most time into are:

Minecraft, must be over 10k hours.

Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, pretty sure over 10k hours combined.

There's surely some game I'm forgetting right now, just woke up.

There are also several mobile games I must have put thousands of hours into over the years.

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.

It's was World of Warcraft before I quit.

What other games had in hours, that had in days. Probably around 500 days, mostly standing around waiting for others.

Now I play FFXIV instead.

Much healthier...

[–] fool@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Solitaire 2: Collectors Edition. 175k hours

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 6 points 3 days ago

The following are some of my most played

Minecraft - Surely about 3k Hours Surviving Mars - 1k Hours Astroneer - 1.5k Hours (Mostly plaud in Early Access, newer versions kinda suck) Shapez.io - 500hours Maybe Portal 2 - 250hours

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

3300 hours on Destiny. I love the game, I've made long friendships through it, it's not perfect, but it brings me joy.

God damn crayon eaters are ruining this tower!

...burnt out at around the 900hr mark myself sadly but the friendships remain :)

How is good old Planetside doin?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Always more active than I think, always less active than I want considering my main method of play is leading public platoons. It's great if you can concentrate into a hex and get people supporting each other. It's shit if you're just in a Sundy telling squads to ghost cap 4 hexes at a time to cut stuff off.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 days ago

Last time I played was for the anniversary and I actually found an active outfit. Was nice and more active than I thought

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Before this I used to play certain games exclusively, often for 10+ hours a day (beefy laptop at work and then home).

QuakeWorld - '98-2003

Ragnarok Online - 2003-2008

WoW - 2008-2012

EVE - 2012-2014

A nontrivial amount of my gaming time was reset by steam around 2010.... IDK why, but there are games on my steam account that I know I've sunk over 100 hours into that show zero hours.

Right now, one of my highest is satisfactory, sitting around 1500+ hours.

The only game I've been playing consistently for the last 7 or so years is stardew valley. I like other games, but sdv is the only one that I'm always happy to replay.

[–] Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

World of Warcraft by a huge margin. A couple of years ago, I went through all my characters, and added the /played time up. I think it was already over 10k back then, and I've played a bunch since then. Also, I often delete characters, so I can't count those. My sub runs for another 10 days, so I might take the time to check again.

Next is probably Diablo 2, but that was 20 years ago, when this stuff wasn't really automatically tracked.

On Steam I have two idle games at 800 hours, FF14 650h, both Nioh games 600h each.

Factorio for me. Steam has 3000 hours logged, but I played it for ages before getting Steam version so really no idea. Estimating 4000 hours total.

I don't have an exact number but it would have to be at least 5000 hours I've sunk into Minecraft. Been on and off the game since 2013, I'd get bored of the current version and switch to Beta (fairly sizable community on r/goldenageminecraft), I'd do some worlds where I'd obtain stuff in older versions that weren't obtainable later (whole wiki on Discontinued Minecraft items/blocks/structures/entities), of course I'd do modded.

I think the thing with Minecraft for me is that I spent all the time learning the game back in high school when I had more free time than I do as an adult, and I can nowadays play it extremely casually (~3 hours/week).

Its hard for me to get into new games (most recent game I got was Dredge) because I have like 2 hours a session to learn it, and it might be a few days between sessions.

I've been playing a Half-Life mod called Sven Coop since 1999. I play almost daily, if only for a half an hour when I get home to unwind. Multiple server owners have given me admin rights to help manage their servers so sometimes I'm just there to kick griefers or change levels that are broken so people don't leave. There are many thousands of user made levels. People are still making them. The mod is still getting updated. Just did actually.

It wasn't added to Steam until 2016. So there was no way for me to track play hours until then. Since 2016 it shows that I have a little over 3000 hours. And I used to play more before I became an adult and had to do adult things. So I can only imagine what my total hours are.

10,000 hours? And that's probably conservative.

I will have been playing regularly for 26 years this January.

I have almost 4000 hours in Factorio and didn't play it for 2 years. I swear this game is some voodoo lifetime stealing curse.

[–] Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Path of Exile - 1000+ hours

[–] 31337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

CK2 - 400h

Fallout NV (guessing most of this has been TTW) - 190h

Stellaris - 180h

Xcom 2 - 140h

GTA 5 - 99h

Cities Skylines - 95h

Skyrim - 90h

Civ5 - 85h

Xcom - 83h

The other games I've played are pretty much the standard play-through times. (< 70h)
