One thing I have struggled with lately is finding good games to play. I bounce around from game to game trying to enjoy it but it just doesn't scratch the itch like it used to. For example, one of my favorites was old school RuneScape, but it hasn't really been giving me the same enjoyment that it used to. So then I would open up World of Warcraft, Destiny 2, just playing a little bit of each game. Think maybe I need some new games to play but it's tough to find them these days.

So what are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

I have around 1700 hs in Destiny 2, and close to the same in Bloodborne. Over 1000 hours in the last 2 monster hunter titles. I've replayed resident evil 4 and castlevania sotn dozens of times.

So those are my most played games

World of Warcraft

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sims 2 Skyrim Stalker franchise (including mods) Doom 2 Vrchat Arma franchise Halo franchise World of warcraft .... I may have a problem.

Monster Hunter: Not all at once of course, but it's a game I keep coming back to. A friend in college introduced me to it on the psp and I was invested. I've had some version of it somewhere since, and I don't think I've ever removed it from my psp either.

Overwatch: This is from before the change, but it became a comfort game. There were no chats, and I didn't have to be in voice chat. I was low level (bronze), but I was content. I still play here and there, but I may get a match or two in before I leave out. Back in the day I could play for hours.

I am Not even close to 1000h but devinetively Factorio. Be aware, this game is a massive time sink and makes you play for way longer than you want. Especially with the new expansion you can spend enormous amounts of time in this game.

In descending order: Skyrim Fallout 4 Starfield

Morrowind is a game that has extreme hours too, but not sure if it is 1000+ (yet).

I've only got a few. Several of them don't really track hours, but I know I've put over 1000 into them. Games like Super Smash Bros. (Melee, Brawl, and 4) and Rock Band 2.

Other than those, the only one I've measurably put 1000 hours into is Skullgirls, but Guilty Gear Strive will likely get there in a few years. Skullgirls is a game with so much depth that I can't imagine ever getting bored of it. If anything, I'd just lose motivation because I can't see the path to improving, but I'll definitely never see every permutation of strategies you can employ by combining characters together. Guilty Gear Strive has so many creative ways to use its expanded Roman Cancel system that any Evo highlight reel is full of creative ways out of situations that you've never seen before.

Monster Hunter

[–] Somsphet@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

For some context I have insomnia. Stellaris isa game I've been able to fall asleep playing. Eventually it auto pauses but that's fine. It's a game I will always play because I find it peaceful and relaxing

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Alan Wake 1. It's one of the few games i can play over and over again and not get bored. Sometimes i'll just pop in and play a chapter when i want something to do. I keep it and it's sister game, Alan Wake's American Nightmare on system at all times just so i can play it

Wow, so many posts 😵‍💫 Sooo I think I'll be the one to mention Elder Scrolls Online ^.^ I've got 1800 hours in that and miss it pretty bad v.v Am stuck on a laptop that can't run it (nor much else) playably :-\ Anyway, it's got many things to do. Three faction storylines, lots of side stuff (everything can be played at any level; people will take low-level characters into Trials and not even worry about it), crafting, character build funs deeper and more interesting than they seem, just plain wandering around peekifying all' the Elder Scrolls places... Idunno, it just somehow kept me of all critters hooked for quite a while, which is very odd. I tend to get bored of things realquick 😅

I only have 800 hours in it but I suppose I can second (or, well, nth) Warframe? 😅

[–] Matshiro@szmer.info 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right now I can't recommend it because streamers and reddit made the game kinda trash, but Path of Exile. On steam I have 3k hours and I played on original launcher 5-10 more times longer.

I hope poe2 will make Poe great again.

Dayz.

Just hit 3.5k hours and it's still the most exciting game I've ever played. Nothing else gives the same adrenaline kick as a good encounter or a fight in Dayz. Also a great game for meeting new people as talking to others in this game is a must.

Elder Scrolls Online, as long as you find a good group of friends.

I also nearly have 1000 hours in MGSV Phantom Pain.

[–] funtrek@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago
[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Would be arma 3, dayz and stalker series. My currently favourite is stalker Anomaly.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Team Fortress 2

Monster Hunter World and Don't Starve

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.

[–] crestwave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Don't Starve Together scratches the MMO itch for me. It's not an MMO, but there are public servers where you can hop in and hang out, raid bosses and whatnot. I have ~4k hours in it now.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Apart from Flight Simulator 2020 and DCS, I absolutely love games like Euro Truk Simulator 2 and Snowrunner. I put ungodly amounts of hours into those. Especially ETS 2 is incredibly relaxing. No pressure, just a lovely drive. It’s definitely not for everyone though.

The only two games I have that much time in are Factorio and Satisfactory.

Path of Exile. Hands down.

I just broke 1400 hours and still going strong. There's so much to do and so much to learn, and it's so good at rewarding grinding and keeping you chasing those incremental improvements. It's 100% replaced RuneScape for me.

I have broken 1000 hours with Cookie Clicker, Guild Wars 2, RuneScape, and Eve Online. I don't recommend the latter two anymore, but CC and GW2 still hold up.

Honorable mention to Factorio. I'm still in the hundreds but it's climbing.

[–] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Stellaris. I'm almost at 1400 hours in the game and while I now play it a lot less often than in the first 1000 hours, I still get the itch to play it again a few times a year.
