How long do you guys play a game then realise that "ok at least I have played it X amount of hours, Ive got my money back"

[mrchow19910319]

Lets be honest here... sometimes we dont actually complete games we bought, sometimes we lose interest, after a couple of hours of playing it. 

I still have a bunch of games in my steam library that I have only been played for 2 hours, then I just leave it there. 

 

For me I think I would like to play a game for at least, 60 hours, then I can say that : "yeah whatever amount of money I have spent, I can call it worth now."

But then at the same time there are games that I have not been playing for that amount of hours, but STILL i called it worth cos the game is either

1. TOO FREAKING GOOD (like this war of mine)
2. I got it at dirt cheap price

The game I played the most were:

 

1. Witcher 3
2. Battlefield 3,4
3. GTA V
4. cities skylines (more than GTA V lol)
5. hitman 2016

 

The game I barely touched:

1. rise of the tomb raider
2. the division

What about you guys? 

[fringie]

Like 40 hours unless the story is really good i.e. bioshock although even then I did feel it was a bit expensive but still worth MSRP.

 

Most played for me are:

 

1. Runescape (by far, all my other games combined probably don't add up to this much - played for over half my life)

2. COD: MW3

3. Hearthstone

4. Overwatch

5. Counter strike source

 

Can't comment on barely touched because so many..

[wasab]

90% of the games in my steam library have less than 0.5 hour of played time. One has thousands of hours on record but just one....

Oh god dude I've sunk 1300 hours into TF2 alone and that game is free... (well not for me, I made some really financially irresponsible decisions regarding cosmetics... gotta have them sweet sweet hats. Regardless, I'd say I made whatever I spent back in spades) I have about 700 on GMod, so I'd say I've certainly got the most out of it. I have about 300 in F:NV, and 100 in Super Meat Boy. It would seem as though I don't suffer from the problem of "buying games and never playing them". Mostly cause I'm poor lmao

[Techicolors]

playing God of War and definitely feel i got my money's worth. add Horizon Zero Dawn as well

[Arika]

depends how much i payed.

 

though that being said, Warframe is my longest played game in steam, which is free to play, at 700 hours

[Drak3]

For me, how long I play a game is irrelevant to whether I think it was worth it.

[Crunchy Dragon]

See, I avoid all of this by only getting games when they're on sale.

 

Means I have to play less before "making my money back".

 

I've invested over 20 hours each in both of the Portal games, and those are definitely worth the money(got both for a low price as well during a sale).

[Kamjam21xx]

Origional Startcraft 

Age of empires 2 

Warcraft 3

Spore

Peggle

Diablo 1 and 2

Sacred

Sims city

Zuma

Rogue (think it was a dos game)

Minesweeper

MAG

Battlefield 2

Any of the starwars games. 40+ hours on each, loved em all.

 

I guess im too busy to get that absorbed into any modern games.

 

 

Edit: cant forget starsiege tribes and tribes ascend!! 500+ hrs buy they arent worth playing anymore.

I do not want to think of the time wasted, countless hours I could have spend more meaningfully and productively.

Which I find making a plan for the day helps out a lot. Making a to do list and a recreation list, like I want to go hiking to a mountain peak this year, and camp up on that peak. Which I will do. Wasted too much time on the pc!

[8uhbbhu8]

Basically once I reach a $/h i'm fine  

[minibois]

I want to play at least 1 hour of gameplay per Euro it costed me (what it costed me is including the possible DLC expansions etc. I bought). E.g. a 60 euro game I want to play for at least 60 hours, but a 10 Euro game I would be fine with 10 hours.

There are games that have far exceeded this though. For example I bought Skyrim Legendary edition for 15 euro in 2013. Played that game for 370 hours. Plus that made me get Skyrim SE for free, which I have 270 hours in at the moment. All those hours for 15 euros.

the thing about entertainment is this, it only feels real good for X amount of hour, after that is just procrastination and sometimes even worse, you feel bad about doing something that is supposed to be relaxing and fun

yeah.. same here... i dont have a huge steam library cos I got into pc gaming late, and I havent bought that much game , plus that nowadays i know I dont have the stamina or patient to finish one game. so I just stopped buying. 

[PhantomJaguarr]

I've played HuniePop for about 40 minutes. I got my money's worth. Paid like $2.40. Well my friend did and gifted it to me... ?

 

I bought Skyrim for $20 with all the DLC's included and invested over 500 hours in the game. In my opinion I got my money's worth around 100 hours after installing most of the mods I wanted. I try to get games when they have good sales because I'm not sure if I'll get enough time to even play them. 52 games in my Steam library so far. Played about 10 of them..

Me too. I bought it for Christmas, and I played it for, like an hour or two. I haven't touched it since.

[Rappalores]

Excluding TF2 and CSGO with both over 2000 hours my most played ones are:

 

• Rainbow Six Siege - 560 hours
• Witcher 3 - 311 hours (still going!!!!)
• CIV V - 174 hours
• GTA V - 105 hours (should really play that again)
• GTA IV - 100 hours

I am a huge fan of a good story. That's why Iove the Witcher 3 and GTA IV. 60€ for the game and both DLC's actually felt like too little for me, 80 or 100 bucks would still be a good price. I own the Division but didn't really touch it, maybe 2 hours? Not even I guess.

 

My minimum count of hours for a game to be considered decent would be 40-50 hours playtime without getting bored, I guess.
