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.

I've got over a thousand in Space Engineers, although some of that is from leaving it on overnight to refine materials. Or possibly exiting the game, but forgetting to actually leave the main menu. Does Steam track time when the computer is asleep?

But I've likely got close to ten times that number in Dwarf Fortress. I've been playing it off and on for close to a decade and a half now, and when I get into it whole days can just fly by.

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.

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.

It's ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.

[–] Burn1ngBull3t@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Escape from Tarkov - 2500h Elite Dangerous - 800h Kerbal Space Program - 300h Satisfactory - 250h and still going up ^^

[–] germtm_@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] Matshiro@szmer.info 2 points 4 months ago

For example Path of exile: 3100 hours on steam, on standalone client it should be much more.

[–] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

2k hours on DotA2. No regrets. It’s an amazing game. I loved “studying” that shit. Optimizing my game.

I was never really that good but that isn’t the point

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months 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.

[–] Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Path of Exile - 1000+ hours

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago

Path of Exile and Counterstrike both are over 1000 hours for me.

[–] GetKebab@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

Wow around 3k hours, swtor 1.5k, dcs world 2k, counter strike source 1.5k, arma 3 900, space engineers 850 hours and san andreas multiplayer around 700

I've got 4.5k in Elder Scrolls Online, at this point I'd only recommend it if you like elder scrolls lore.

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months 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.

Neverwinter Nights, probably 10k plus hours over the last 22 years, and Dead by Daylight (1666 hours).

Great games, both. I DM a weekly campaign on Neverwinter Nights.
