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.

According to Steam:

  1. Rocket League: 2038 hours
  2. GTA V: 260 hours
  3. Project Cars 2: 234 hours

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.

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.

Path of Exile - 1000+ hours

[–] lorty@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Almost 5k hours of FFXIV, nothing else I can check even comes close (LoL from my teenage years might win, but who knows).

[–] 31337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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)

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.

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] PineRune@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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.

My personal top playtime games with hours:

Minecraft - untracked but I can confidently state 10,000+ hours.

War Thunder - 4,700 hours

Dota 2 - 1,700 hours

Gmod - 1,400 hours

Civ V - 800 hours

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

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.

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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.

[–] truxnell@infosec.pub 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Factorio - 1200hrs

TF2 - ??? But lots

Counterstrike source - ??? As above

Satisfactory - 150

Rimworld/hell divers 2 /wargame red dragon / both new xcoms - 100-150hrs

I would have high scores on other titles before steam started tracking playtime / pre-steam

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

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.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've played "Unturned" a lot few years back. I have 2100+ hours in it. Realistically it'd be around 2000 or a little bit under.

[–] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Similar story here. For me what killed my enjoyment of it was the developer teasing and announcing Unturned 4.x but taking so long to polish it, that Unturned 3.x got abandoned.

He's come back to Unturned 3.x since I stopped playing, but the fun's no longer there for me anymore. I enjoyed the crap out of the arena gamemode and the creative servers (I basically played it more like a sandbox than a survival PVP game) but neither really have players anymore.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

I was big into it at the end of 2.0 and into 3.0. Sometime around the special infected were added, I lost interest

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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
