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.
Rocket League over a thousand, then Crusader Kings III about 600, then CS 1.6 and Monster Hunter World with 400.
CS 1.6 must‘ve started logging those stats after my „prime“ though, I basically played nothing else way back when lol
For example Path of exile: 3100 hours on steam, on standalone client it should be much more.
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)
Almost 5k hours of FFXIV, nothing else I can check even comes close (LoL from my teenage years might win, but who knows).
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)
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.
For me it's 7 Days to Die, at 1580 hrs.
According to Steam:
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.
Escape from Tarkov - 2500h Elite Dangerous - 800h Kerbal Space Program - 300h Satisfactory - 250h and still going up ^^
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.
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.
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.
My top 10 (in order of most hours played) on Steam:
It's ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.
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.
On steam, CS:GO with 2k+ hours. CS2 is shit tho.
Other than that, literally countless months in Minecraft.
I've been saying the same thing! CS2 is the worst update to a game I've ever seen
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.
I must prelude my statement with two facts of life: I was meant to be an MMO player, and controller is my way of doing it (yes, I know K+M is technically better, bite me)
That out of the way, 3667 hours in FFXIV
My personal top playtime games with hours:
Minecraft - untracked but I can confidently state 10,000+ hours.
War Thunder - 4,700 hours
CS:GO/CS2 - 1,900 hours
Dota 2 - 1,700 hours
Gmod - 1,400 hours
Civ V - 800 hours
