I tracked down the guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing for over 8,000 hours, and came away convinced he was right (www.pcgamer.com)

8k hours is a lot.
That's like PhD level, into a game I've never heard of before now.
Sure, It's trust their input.

Those are rookie numbers for strategy games.

Competency starts around 1500 hours.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Yup, I'm still a noob in EU4 after nearly 1000 hours. I'll get the hang of it eventually. 😅

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Can confirm, still suck at every PDX game despite a thousand or hundreds of hours in them.

I've played osrs some 15000 hours but I suck at it.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What's osrs?

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Old School RuneScape (I had to Google it)

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for the leg work on looking what it is and then replying, thinly remarking that I could have googled it instead ;)

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

I wouldn't feel bad about asking here rather than googling it yourself. I like the engagement, personally.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That is over 10 years at 4h a day every single day.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

~7 years, but couple breaks lasting up to half a year or something

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Isn't OSR a bit "plodding to success" as you can always grind up your skills?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah it kinda is, but the skill ceiling in pvp and pvm is massively high.

There's people who can do all the bosses in game eyes closed without hands and then there's me who can sit clicking that same rock for a year

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah I remember the mining clicking 😂 with the stone spontaniously combusting 😋

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

And breaking your pickaxe if you didn't click away lol. Some of the random events were wild lmao
