what are your most played games? why? any regrets?

[afwasboi]

what games have you spend most of your time on? was it worth it? how so?

 

for me it would definitely be war Thunder, in 2 years i managed over 2,5k hours and counting, i play it nearly everyday with an active squadron and am still not finished with one of the 8 nations, it combines my love for aviation and military history with a fun and very realistic game *spits on world of tanks/warships/warplanes* 

 

tho ive spent countless hours and about 200 euros on it its my favourite game and has been since I started playing, defo no regrets

[mariushm]

Left 4 Dead 2 -  got to the point where I decided to stop playing it for around 1 year when it was still popular because I kind of got addicted to it, played almost 8-12h each day until it got around 3k hours. Started playing it again for a few weeks but all the people I used to play against moved on to other games so it was no longer fun.

 

Fallout 3 ,  F3 New Vegas ... loved exploring, discovering new locations, stories, tried several times to play as a "bad" character" in New Vegas, to align with the legion, but couldn't do it, still going for good guy helping everyone.

Shame the technology wasn't there to make deeper stories with more game lore.

Fallout 4 is Ok, but it's more "linear", not so much consequences to what you're doing, choices have less meaning...

 

Half-Life series ... played it several times, Half-Life 1 was one of the first games I played on the first computer I ever owed.

 

Transport Tycoon Deluxe / Open TTD ... used to play A LOT in single player / random scenario, alternating with my brother, building train tracks and airports etc etc.

 

 I also remember playing a lot of Dungeon Siege (the first games), the latest one sucks, totally different art and gameplay.

Im a mobile so ive only played mobile games but im most addicted to mc bedrock, basically just go on cubecraft for a few hours and completely decimate everyone

 

Mobile is crippled compared to pc but just using a key mapper for semi togglesprint (sometimes it just cuts out and doesnt sprint) and a high fov and i completely obliterate most mobiles and consoles, even the pc players have a hard time, unless its a sprint jumping pc player that is good at combos i can pretty much obliterate them cause i can aim everywhere but pcs and consoles can only aim with the crosshair

 

if you have seen me on cubecraft in ctf, battle arena (1v1 or 2v2), or skywars (ign dremurrboi) then yea no sht why mojang crippled mobile controls, if mobiles had togglesprint then theyd annihilate everyone

 

I think at most i do a 6hr session but i dont really play that many games anymore cause i have better things to do like f ing around with computers, i still play mc once in awhile tho

 

 

Only other games that i mostly play are rally fury and street racing

 

rally fury cause i like smashing s class cars with a b class (around 3hrs max a session)

 

street racing because i actually race and decimate everyone in a rather insconspicuos 240sx that doesnt even shoot flames and also because i find some random car meet and ram everyone and just piss the whole room off and make everyone freak out xD (around 3-4 hours max a session)

 

Edit: forgot about another game that i play frequently, russian car rider, basically just play the bomb minigame for awhile and also troll ppl by having the car horn always on w an input bug and esp the guy with the bomb, ill just follow em around honking my horn and keep teasing the sht out of the poor dude with the bomb (~3hrs max a session)

Valorant

lts fun, I have friends that play it. It hasn’t gotten old for me like fortnite did (only after like 600hr but I’m not going to talk about that)

 

halo mcc

it has halo games, I like halo games

 

halo 5

i really love the combat here, story is meh, but it plays a lot. People find this to be a controversial game but I like it.

 

Doom Eternal

this game plays like a dream. It is smooth, the  music is amazing, and the fast pace combat doesn’t get old. I’ve played through the campaign like 7 times. Horse rush is cool to, played that a couple

[adarw]

would chess count?

 

ive played a lot of chess over the last few years, (mostly last year tho, when there was a crazy hype over chess cause of that Netflix show, i didnt start playing because of it) anyways, no i dont regret it, i would have probably watched anime instead.

[Alcarin]

Apart from MMORPGs my most played games ever are 7 Days to Die (Steam) and probably Diablo 3. 7 Days is one of my favorite games, and I used to administer a server on it, and as far as Diablo 3 goes I got pretty invested in it a few years back. Haven't played it since though.

 

Including games when I was a kid, probably Halo 3 and COD MW2 multiplayer. 

[porina]

Current active gaming:

 

Azur Lane: Played daily since global launch (years). Good balance of progression and waifus. 

Blue Archive: Played daily since global launch (but it is only like 5 days). Looks interesting but remains to be seen how I go forward with this. Reminds me of priconne x girls frontline.

Genshin Impact: Started at launch and currently play daily, but did take a long break after launch period. It's grown up in a way even if the toxic parts of the fanbase haven't. Keep your focus and it remains a top tier game.

FFXIV: Waiting for the delayed Endwalker Expansion

 

No regrets on time spend on any of those. I do wonder what my progression might be like if I hadn't taken the break in Genshin.

[Avocado Diaboli]

I took a look at my playtime in GOG Galaxy, since it can display all the other launchers' time as well, and picked out the games that had more than 20 hours of playtime.

[PianoPlayer88Key]

That's just on Steam (and only the first screenful of it, sorted by playtime in descending order) ... doesn't include the countless hours of games I played back in the 1990s (maybe as early as 1989) before I had steam, or the few games I've more recently played that aren't on Steam either.  (I don't, for the most part, have other launchers either.)  Nor does it include mobile (Android) or browser games.

 

BTW the 309 hours in 3DMark is in large part due to an issue my PC had last month for a couple weeks, where 3DMark hung and wouldn't shut down.  (It even resurrected itself after a reboot ... I forget now how I solved the issue but I think it may have involved some "drastic measures".)

[mariushm]

Since everyone's posting Steam screenshots here's mine as well ... to be honest numbers are a bit low, because lots of these games I initially played pirated copies of them and then bought them on Steam when I got a paycheck and could afford to pay for them...

Surprising lots of puzzle quest... it's a connect 4 type of game...  and like I said, I was quite caught by the L4D2 for a while, to the point where it wasn't healthy.

Fortnite, it gets worse optimized with every update though… used to get over 200 maxed with my gtx 980 in season 6 but season 8 is in the 80s, stutters and big drops…

[tkitch]

All of you are absolute noobs!

 

 

No, I do not regret it.

[rikitikitavi]

I've got 500+h in PUBG as the most hrs recorded, no regrets - cause fun time with friends.

 

Regrets - most mobile games, especially in the early days of iOS AppStore, including ports of Final Fantasy 1-4.

[Mark Kaine]

Resident Evil 5, beat the game ~50 times or so, also an ungodly amount of multi-player , for 2 years 5 hours/day , or more... 

 

Tekken 6, same story, probably beat it around 20 times, 10000 hours multi-player minimum...

 

Tekken Revolution,  10-20000 hours... 

 

Soulcalibur Lost Swords, ~4000 hours

 

Playstation Home,  50000 30000* hours? Probably more... i basically lived there! : p

 

And before you say anything,  keep in mind that was a time when free to play online games were actually fun, and didn't solely rely on "lootboxes" or didn't have them at all...

 

 

Especially PS home had tons of those kind of games , too many probably... several Japanese "samurai style " games, slot machines,  poker (in many versions/variants) old arcade machines with original games such as centipede etc, they even had stuff like Uncharted where you'd play with your own character instead of the original game's pre-made ones... red bull air race...  way too many to list! And about half of them were actually good lol.

 

That said i wasn't too much into that,  we made our own games most of the time... 

 

Also: Monster Hunter World,  around 7000 hours.

 

*

Spoiler

I realize this is hard to actually measure/calculate, especially Playstation home,  i would need to know how many years it was actually online, i think around 5...? So it definitely feels like 50000 hours, but it was probably less, since that's mathematical likely impossible - i do know my numbers aren't too far off though,  because some games like Tekken 6 actually had a playtime counter/ and i always had multiple accounts,  so I just had to add the times up... thats also how I could extrapolate the numbers for other games.

 

Lastly Steam counter isn't totally correct either,  as it doesn't count when you're offline (btw)

I dont even wanna know how many hours I have in SFII/Turbo, we played that *all the time* when I was a kid...

(Sidenote: apparently Chun li and Blanka are "unfair" according to my friends... )

No, I do not regret it.

My Fallout4 game is a bit silly.

It can only run smooth on a 5800x or a i9 10900k so far. 

It is a stuttering mess on a HDD. Not smooth on a SATA SSD but is fine on an M.2. It comes in at #2. 

I have most of the same mods on Fallout 4 VR now so I mainly play that.

I played Skyrim VR on the PS4 a few years ago and it was kind of a cool experience, do you like it on PC? I am considering taking a break from multiplayer games and hitting up some good ol' immersive single player games like ES or FO series again. Oblivion and Skyrim both really did a lot for me and my love for game development. Love or hate them, they are staples for sure.

FO4 can run a kinda a potato at this point, unless you're stacking mods to hell and back....

 

Remember:  Fallout stops at 60fps.  Unless you mod it to go higher, which will (potentially) break the physics engine.  

[Sorbert]

Mine would be WoW from beginning nearly everyday yes no life to just before pandera loved it til i didnt

I did not like the archery or the sword play but playing as a mage was great.

My main issue is getting it stable with mods since it seems more sensitive than SE.

With a 5800x and a 3080 ti it runs like a dream.

I run it at 120fps, 4k. 

What brakes is jump height and I fix that with a mod. 

I only started doing 120 since I got 30 series cards and so far it has worked out fine. 

 

 

I play a Minute Man game with the settlers killable so it is large forts with lots of guns.

 

[dilpickle]

According to Steam I have 340 hours in Skyrim (single playthrough).

 

I've played Half Life 2 probably a dozen times.

 

Of course I've been gaming long before steam existed but I can't be bothered to remember that.

[mwagen]

csgo wins at 3600+ hours since it came out. CS 1.6 and DoD were also very hard to put down in the early 2000s. Very much regret the excessive hours wasted on these games that should have been spent on studying and a good night's sleep, definitely a factor in my school and work failures. 

 

Played the death out of Half Life, Mass Effect, Stalker... Not as many hours spent compared to cs, nevertheless regret the excessive time spent in somebody else's virtual world.
