    The game in my Steam library with the most hours played is…PAYDAY 2.

    But I didn’t actually play a thousand hours of it. In the late 2010s, the heat in my condo barely worked and our self-managed association refused to acknowledge it because “nobody else [was] having problems with their heat.” I had all the windows plasticed up with heavy blankets literally nailed to the wall. I had to abandon the living room and bedroom entirely. I emptied the smallest room (12x10) and moved my mattress and desk in there…In addition to the playpen for my two rabbits that took up the rest of the free space.

    You might be wondering what that has to do with PAYDAY 2. Well…the game revved up my video card to max on the main menu so my PC became a supplementary heat source at night…

    Good times. Thanks, PAYDAY devs!

      Aren’t space heaters pretty cheap? Probably didn’t need to add wear and tear to your GPU.

        I had a space heater in there, too. It was not enough.

    I was gonna check my Steam library for the numbers, but the real answer probably is Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone.

      The only game on my phone! Great game.

      Probably not nearly close to top hours though. I haven’t even beaten it once yet.

      Great game, it and the original Pixel Dungeon were my most played phone games for years.

      Another high quality mobile experience I can’t recommend enough is Slice & Dice. Gameplay is quite different from Pixel Dungeon, but it’s basically replaced all other phone games for me. Been playing it almost continuously now for the past 3 years.

    When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata… Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.

    …and I made a lot of alts.

    100% full-blown addicted.

    Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn’t really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.

    The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn’t going to provide that fix anymore.

    Then I started making healthy life decisions discovered Ark >_<

    The Bethesda RPGs: Skyrim, Morrowind, Fallout series (although most of the hours probably into NV, which wasn’t actually Bethesda).

    • lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I have crazy high hours on Skyrim because I replayed it in French and Spanish. It is a very fun way to get the cheapest language immersion ever (though your vocabulary becomes a little, um, specialized)

        Votre français est très bon, mais vous avez un accent étrange. D’où venez-vous ? (“Your French is very good, but you have an odd accent. Where are you from?”)

        “Skyrim.”

    Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere program have the most real playtime, but idle games have the top slots.

  • fastfomo7@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Minecraft, and it’s still growing.

  • Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    STALKER and The Elder Scrolls probably hold the record. I may have wasted even more time in my life on World of Warcraft, but I feel like that doesn’t count since you’re just in a fucking trance for several years until you finally break away.

    EverQuest was my jam back in the day. It ruined highschool for me. Nearly 5 straight years of farming and raids.

    I wouldn’t do anything different though. I met some awesome people that got me through the awkward years of high school when the internet was still somewhat new.

    Team Fortress 2

    source
  • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Steam says my top 3, in order, are ARMA3 (though more than half of that has to be with the game minimized as I work on scripts for mods), Team Fortress 2, and Rocket League. All have over 2000 hours, Arma 3 has slightly over 3k.

    However, from 1997 to 2007, I was playing Ultima Online for at least 8 hours a day, every day. So if that kept track of my play time, it would likely be numero uno.

  • it3agle@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve just about got 2,000 hours in Warframe. I tend to play a lot of different games so it’s hard to get big numbers in any one game.

  • Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    the binding of isaac: rebirth. steam claims ~800 hours, but with the time I played offline, its probably closer to 1300-1400

      I finally picked up Repentance after putting around 300 hours into Antibirth. I’m completely addicted again. Jacob & Esau is such a struggle for me

      source
      • smeg@feddit.uk ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Repentance was such a huge expansion. And it’s getting updated again shortly!

    Dota 2. I barely enjoy it, but it’s hard to find games that a friend group will agree to consistently play.

    source
    • LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      What an amazing exhausting game. I go through phases where I’ll play it for a month straight then I won’t touch it for 6 months

      Yeah I got over 5000 hours clocked in but damn its toxic af.

  • dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Hard to say, but I would think Minecraft (over the last decade) then Factorio. If we’re factoring in games from when I was younger then it’s certainly COD followed by Halo then Gran Turismo.

    Fallout 4 and Skyrim

    Final Fantasy XI and it’s not even close.

      Heyyyy, high five! I’m not sure what my XI playtime is at offhand but I know it could be measured in years.

    Kerbal Space program (1800.8) DCS world (1172.2) Witcher 3 (1131.5) Sims 4 (838.2) Stardew Valley (579.3)

    I just wish ksp2 wasn’t a massive flop and I eagerly await KSA.

    source
  • Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Oblivion, Skyrim, Every Fallout (yes even 1 and 2, but especially New Vegas) borderlands 2, Stardew Valley, and there were a few years of CoD.

    Around 2.6k hours in CSGO. Quit playing CS2 shortly after release :(

    Europa Universalis 4, and it’s not really a close margin. 1445 hr mark is when you’ve finally completed the tutorial and can start the real game.

    source
    • Famko@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Try Hearts of Iron 4 and the 1936 hour tutorial ;-;

      source
  • caut_R@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Probably League of Legends, I don‘t know how to check how many and don‘t really care, but I‘d be surprised if I hadn‘t spent more than in Rocket League which clocks in at 1100 hours. I don‘t play much of either anymore though. Counterstrike 1.6 is at 400 hours but that‘s gotta be a lie and way more as well lol

  • wirelesswire@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    World of Warcraft - over 11k hrs Guild Wars 2 - over 5k hrs Warframe - 2200 hrs Minecraft - who knows… a lot

    source
  • NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Overall? Probably Unreal Tournament (1999). That was when I was at the peak of my gaming time and I would play for hours most weeks and played that basically for a solid decade.

    In the modern era? Warframe which Steam says I have over 700 hours in.

    source
  • konalt@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    2000 hours in Garry’s Mod, 1300 in TF2. Third place is way behind, Hollow Knight at 180.

    source
  • sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    SteamDB says Rimworld, but I’m almost certain it’s actually Fallout: NV, as the Nexus launcher at one point bypassed Steam and so those hours aren’t represented. I have about 1100 hours in Rimworld, but probably closer to 3000 in Fallouts 3 and NV.
