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.

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.

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)

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Rocket League 4,485 hours

[–] Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

Path of Exile - 1000+ hours

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Probably Diablo 2 back in the day. No idea how much hours were sunk into that.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours 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.

[–] whats_all_this_then@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

God damn crayon eaters are ruining this tower!

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

I have but one question.

Do you wear spandex, OP?

[–] blacklotus_@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

OK let's see your transmogs though

[–] Decency8401@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 15 hours 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

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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!

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 17 hours ago

on xbox with its time tracking, i think rock band 4 takes the cake with uhhhh i have no clue maybe 100 days? i cant check right now

unofficially rock band 3, i used to play it 8 hours a day everyday

[–] fool@programming.dev 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Solitaire 2: Collectors Edition. 175k hours

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 5 points 17 hours ago

lol not even 25 years in the game, what a noob

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.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

All I'm going to say is those are rookie times for PS2. I might have spent that many hours in a Biolab.

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

How is good old Planetside doin?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours 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 20 hours ago

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

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] NormalPerson@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

That's not very rock and stone of you

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

I love the expression! Sounds close to "out of steam" in English which is used similarly... nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or "special something" is gone

[–] Kolossos@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago
[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not good at any of these mind you

[–] knightmare1147@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I loved Kingdom come deliverance

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Same, it's tied with Ghost of Tsushima for favorite all time. I can't wait for KCD2 in February.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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...

Finally! Someone with over 1000 hours in a game. I think I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris alone. Granted I've definitely walked away from that game in the endgame for over an hour and come back with practically nothing changing. It's a very slow game.

[–] moonburster@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

After not playing for years I have a hard time getting back in. Any tips?

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Play smaller and taller. Playing a wide game is tougher but not impossible. Also don't do what I do, do not have a custom built species for every origin. There's a lot of origins now and it's a little cluttered. Just build a race you like and get playing.

[–] jh34@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Not a lot of single game no lifers on here... https://i.imgur.com/H9PWPxq.png Obv wallpaper engine, clicker, and perfect tower are idle things so most of those hours aren't active so pretty much every other game I have is under 200 hours.

Minecraft probs has like 5k+ tho.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

Well, I'll say the usual, CS2, TF2, and L4D2.. with a combined total playtime this year of 60 hours.. (most on TF2)

Because.. I've been playing this game.. called Wuthering Waves., it doesn't have any hours, only days, but if I had to guess.. around 1200 hours. It's a gacha game. Like Genshin Impact so... yeah, I'm a F2P though, and I've been enjoying it (with a few exceptions)

Aside from that, Honkai Star Rail is second.. with probably around the same hours.. another gacha game. Then Zenless Zone Zero, as another commenter mentioned. Another gacha game.

In my phone, I guess I play Clash of Clans and Pokemon Go occasionally.
