Most Hours Played Thread?

[battlepants220]

 

This is just steam for me. WoW and SC2 would still be top 2 even though I stopped played both years ago. DSP is my latest addiction. Gamer life.

I was basically addicted to left 4 dead 2 ... played 8-12 hours a day for a period... decided it wasn't healthy and gave it up one day

 

I played fallout games and other games more outside steam, only bought them after I got my first job and could afford to buy them legally.

Using GOG Galaxy 2.0 to try and put everything together... Battlefield 2042 is off, I have ~200hrs in that, for some reason it re-counted it multiple times. Everything else looks good:

 

There'd be a few hundred more hours in Destiny 2 as I played it on Battle.net before it moved to Steam.

 

EDIT:

Aha, it triple-counted on 2042. The Steam version opens the Origin version of the game, and for some reason Origin counted playing 2042 as playing the trial version of it simultaneously.

My Steam might make me look like I don't game, but the reality is I tend to prefer native clients where they exist off Steam.

Not counted but highest would likely include:

1, Final Fantasy XIV - easily in the 10's of thousands of hours. I'll check my top two character playtimes later and edit it in.

2, Genshin Impact

3, Ragnarok Online

4, Elite Dangerous

5, Earth and Beyond

 

Yes, they're mostly MMOs  

 

Edit:

My FFXIV original character: Total Play Time: 102 days, 0 hours, 4 minutes

My current main: Total Play Time: 173 days, 0 hours, 16 minutes

Only around 6600 hours on these two characters. I don't think my 3rd would bump it up to 10,000 so I'm still not an expert

Only completed 7 of these most played games.

Payday 2 is my bae /s but it is may favourite game of all time. Beamng i used to leave running when i wasnt playing for extended periods of time so i wouldnt beleive that number, and possibly the same for CMS 2015, and most likely the same for the worms game, i dont even remeber playing that.

[John Reactor]

Witcher 3 should be in over 100h tier too, but I have it on GOG not Steam.

[DeerDK]

It's funny, I never realize how much time I spend clicking around in strategy games until I actually look at the hour distribution. But yeah, strategy games and RPGs are probably my jam

[Doobeedoo]

It would be WoW in tens of thousands of hours.

I really don't have that many games that I play excessively. Team Fortress 2 was amassed over almost a decade of on and off playing and Rocket League eventually lost its appeal for me. The Sims 2 isn't even my playtime, my partner played on my account. And the rest are all single player games which I typically play once and then move on to the next thing. I can't imagine spending hundreds or thousands of hours playing a single game. I like variety and new experiences, not the same core loop ad nauseam.

for me probly diablo 2 then mindcraft no idea the hours with thows... other games like nms about 1700 hours. played alot of ut as well back in the day.

Personal comments about some of them:

 

Warframe: I also played it a lot pre-Steam shortly after its closed Beta went open Beta, and I bought a founder pack.  I basically stopped playing when I got married years ago a while after the first clan vs clan stuff was introduced.

 

Robocraft, Rocket League, and Fall Guys: Loved them in their hey days, but grew tired of them when their updates got less interesting and I plateaued in each game.

 

Invisible Inc: Still holds up as my favorite stealth game and an excellent introduction to the game studio Klei.

 

Mad Games Tycoon and Mad Tower Tycoon: Some of the best indie tycoon games I've played, and Mad Tower is the most faithful homage to Sim Tower.  They've since come out with a sequel to their game dev game (Mad Games) that's so ambitious, it has online multiplayer co-op and versus options!

 

No Man's Sky: I wanted solitary planetary exploration for the sake of exploration, and it delivered for me on launch day as well as the two months that followed.  I haven't returned since in spite of adding a bunch of stuff to do, and I highly respect the devs for all the free updates since launch, they haven't really changed the core gameplay loop.

 

Tower Unite: I still play this once in a while with the regular stream of updates.  As someone who works with software dev teams, I find it somewhat chaotic the wide variety of content they put out over time as opposed to a more focused approach, but I highly respect their transparent roadmap and community collaboration.

Minecraft has to be my most played game by far (countless servers over the 13 year span I have played). 

 

Star Trek Online has managed to hit 2111 (plus n hours on other accounts), but for the past 5+ years I have only gone back for the Q's Winter Wonderland. On my main GW2 account I have 1900 hours, but the truckload of alts I have have hundreds more (acquiring Skyscale over and over again is my schtick. Sadly I'm getting less active in GW2 too (but always resuming for The Shadow of the Mad King (halloween)).

 

I have significant but sub 1K hours in some other MMORPGs, 7DtD, and Satisfactory. Forza Horizons might also have pretty decent hours. 

 

First fulltime work reduced my gaming hours, and then I got cats. It's for the better, I can still play enough, just not 16 hours straight days.

Pic says a lot. Mods definitely helped.

 

Also I think Genshin Impact may be in my most hours list...if I could track how many hours. (It's not a Steam game.)

Pretty sad that my most "played" game is an idler that I'd just let run the majority of the time.

[Ominous]

My playtime has dropped off significantly over the past year or two, so most of this time is from 2014-2022.

Its okay. My most played games are largely single player cuz I have games instead of friends lol

396.3 hours In GD as of typing. No I still have not beaten a standard demon level. Though a bunch of those hours are devoted to beating every Easy, Normal, and Hard platformer and I am grinding harder as well.
