My most played game is hands down: Borderlands 2.
995h in it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have a lot of hours of Morrowind and Doom 1&2, as well as Warcraft 2 and Ultima Online, but I dunno the hour count

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Team Fortress 2 easily. Been playing since 2008. It scratches an itch that no other game can scratch. Ironically though, my second favorite fps game is also TF2 (Titan fall 2)

Civilisation, the original one. Got it in the 90s, and none of my computers was without it. Even now I sometimes launch it for a guick, half-day game.

I'm sure other Microprose games from that era, in particular UFO: Enemy Unknown, are on my top 10 most played games.

From modern games, I probably spent the most time playing Civ4 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

I'm approaching a thousand hours in Elite Dangerous. Quoting myself from a week or two ago:

It’s different to most other games, by not being goal-oriented except for the goals you set for yourself. No main quest line dictating progress. No mandatory tasks. No win condition. Instead, it drops you into a simulation of our entire galaxy roughly 1300 years in the future, where humanity has mastered hyperspace travel and spread through hundreds of star systems.

(To give an idea of the simulation’s scope: Around 85 million systems have been recorded by players so far, and those are a vanishingly small fraction of what’s out there. Space is big.)

I like that it offers a variety of activities to fit whatever mood I might be in on a given day. I can hunt pirates, mine asteroids, engage in a bit of piracy myself, find and collect bio samples, infiltrate rival settlements, venture into vast unexplored areas of space, discover Earth-like worlds that nobody has ever encountered before, defend humanity against hostile forces, photograph beautiful stellar phenomena, rescue stranded survivors, customize and finely tune my ship to perform beyond its original specs, team up with friends, pledge to a political power and expand their influence, or chill out as a space trucker and haul cargo to earn enough money for my next upgrade. It can occupy all my attention, or just be relaxing entertainment while I listen to music or an audiobook.

It’s an MMO in the sense of having a large game world (galaxy) shared by all players in real time, but PvP is optional. One mode exposes you to other players, while another limits you to NPC encounters. You can switch between them at will.

One warning: A space ship has more than a few controls to learn, and they’re better suited to a game controller or HOTAS than a keyboard and mouse. I use button combinations for almost everything beyond basic flight controls, since there aren’t enough buttons on a controller for everything.

Rocket League, by far. 1500 hours or so.

Can't say that without saying your rank.

World of Warcraft and then Final Fantasy XIV.

And it's not even close.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm not sure if it's wow or League.

I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

The X3 games (Reunion/Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude) would be one game with DLC today, combined they're my only 1000hr+ game. X4 is one game with DLC and is well on it's way to that record.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Final Fantasy XI. Something like 400-500 days, so roughly 10k hours. Though I haven't seriously played since 2011.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

No hard numbers here, but probably Medieval 2: Total War.

Every few months I get the urge to play and log more hours doing a few campaigns.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Elite, the original one, on Commodore 64.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Braben & Bells "Elite". The original one on the C64.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

DotA2 and possible WoW next.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I put the most hours into Awesomenauts during college... really miss games that time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

DayZ, I have around 3000 hours in it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

The most that I have proof of is Europa Universalis IV at a little over 1k hours, but I wouldn't be surprised if my time on Guitar Hero 3 in high school surpassed that by quite a bit. I played a lot of Guitar Hero in high school...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

World of Warcraft is the absolute winner in my case. I have no idea on actual numbers, given 99% of my time was in private servers, with a very brief stint on official. Only one of those private servers is still around, with my character from Warlords of Draenor times still there.

Outside that, probably Skyrim (many hours playing pirate versions, modding it with more lethal combat, more lore-friendly armors and "actual" civil war, among other things). I wonder how many hours I've spent on Dwarf Fortress, as I've only played the freeware version, starting with 0.34, before trees had height.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Old School RuneScape, Gran Turismo 5 & 7, The Crew 1, 2 & Motorfest and I think Midtown Madness 1 & 2 are also high on my list of most played games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

7 Days to die. 1600 hrs on steam Call of Duty. 1200 hrs on steam

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

When I played on PC more EverQuest, counterstrike, TF2, wow, Skyrim

After playing more on console ff14, elder scrolls online, pillars of eternity 1/2, and souls games (ds2, ds3, bloodborne, elden Ring)

I also like to play Indies and smaller games but those are the ones I keep going back to

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Stardew Valley and Core Keeper ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

In no particular order:

  • Ragnarok online
  • Darkspace
  • Monster hunter (multiple games)
  • Dj max (multiple games)
  • Garry's Mod
  • Aliens VS predators 2 (1998)
  • Halo
  • Warframe Phantasy star online (and 2) Path of Exile Morrowind probably.

Sadly as I get older I game less hours, so most of my games on this list are older. LoL, wow, Dota 2, modern warfare 2 (2009), Wingspan(online boardgame), PubG battlegrounds, counter strike 2, terraria. I haven't played fps, wow, or dota for years, but they still dominate this list. It's funny because if I made a list of my favorite games, it would include almost none of these, except terraria.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Probably counterstrike back in the day, possibly battlefield 2 including the Project Reality mod. That was back when gametime wasn't really tracked and I had a lot more spare time Possibly WoW, but I only played for a couple of years or less and for a few hours a day at most.

Currently my highest is Forza Horison 5 with like 1200 hours. Have a few others with 500+ hours although a few are inflated at least 100+ hours because the game locked up on closing and counted as played for several days multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

WoW, CS 1.6, Warframe, and ARK

I think something like 5k hours into Warframe, 15 years into WoW (at least 2 of my characters have 1+ year of playtime--so 17k hours just on those 2; and I max-leveled every class of character up until Battle for Azeroth) and so far, 2 years into ARK. Just over 3.5k hours of playtime between ASE and ASA.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

The Binding of Isaac

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

steam says I played Fallout 4 for 436 hours, but that seems very high. not sure if that count is accurate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm a bit ashamed of it, but Overwatch, I really enjoyed the multiplayer and played with some cool people I met in game. Stopped playing when OW2 released.

My second most played game is Destiny 2.

Maybe something is wrong with me...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I have few hundred hours in Minecraft. And probably something like 180h in Witcher 3 GOTY. Recently I 100% Yakuza 5 with 120h on the counter, and it was (mostly) fun, because game is packed with many different minigames, so it wasn't repetetive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Guild Wars 2 has been my theme park MMORPG of choice on and off for the last 12 years, with >2500h. I have also spent ~1000h on Elite Dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

My top four on steam are:

  • Garry's mod - 2800 hours
  • CS:GO (CS2 now) - 2100 hours
  • Terraria - 1000 hours
  • Team Fortress 2 - 555 hours
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

According to Steam the top 3 are:

  1. Oxygen not included
  2. Civilization 5
  3. Factorio

But that of course does not include the games not running from Steam and pre-Steam games. So World of Warcraft is somewhere in there too. And the final Top 1 must be Transport Tycoon Deluxe (even if you don't include OpenTTD).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

That I know of (3000+): Team Fortress 2

Probably(500+): Super Mario 3, or Apotris

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Probably still World of Warcraft. When I quite around 2010, I had close to 700 days /played time on my main, and another 400 days between various alts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Definitely WoW for me back in the day too, in the 400 day range across my main and alts. These days No Man’s Sky in the 400 hour category. Things change when you become a parent, but I still try to find time to play games.

As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.

Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.

Apex is from day 1 launch day.

I quit a couple years ago for good, but my main account on RuneScape was created in classic as a kid. I had about a year and a half of PLAY time on the account, mind you the vast majority of that was back when you had the hard 5 minute afk timer, so that was at least moderately active play. Then if you add my ironman account I have nearly 1/15th of my whole life logged into RuneScape. I don't regret it, my whole friend group as an adult stem from those friendships I made online during my young teen years. However, as a modern game as much as I have a place for it in my heart, I found I had more of a negative addictive relationship with it. Maybe I always did, but I didn't feel a negative mental effect at a young age.

I have over 1k hours in The Long Dark and 7 days to die. Around 500 in space engineers, darkest dungeon, binding of Isaac, enter the gungeon, grim dawn, and satisfactory. ~300 hours in ToME4 and Caves of qud each. That's just steam stuff though, there are a lot of games that I know are up there that aren't on steam.

I'm sure I have at least similar numbers to 500-1k if not much higher in Diablo 2-3, and I'm sure more than a few thousand in wow though I lost my og account after wotlk because I forgot the details when I quit so I'm really not sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

R6: Siege at 1800, followed by Terraria at 1100. Terraria is the better game of the two.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Kerbal space program

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Persona 5 Royal

150 hrs and I'm almost done with it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Easily Fallout 4 or No Man's Sky
