I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.
I’ve been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I’m curious what Lemmy plays the most.
Factorio: 1,400 hours
Fallout 4: 1,100 hours
What games have you sunk the most time into?

Soooooo much factorio
slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Na, I know some who have upwards of 5k hours.
PigStyle@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Factorio: 5,000
10/10 best game on steam by far.
FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Yeah… 1212 hours in Factorio, and I only just started Space Age
ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 4 days ago
Rimworld, way too much Rimworld. A big part of it is that I’ll often have it one a second computer during the workday just on pause to pop in during downtime but I guess that still counts as playtime just being loaded.
Fizz@lemmy.nz 4 days ago
Ive got 2.2k hours in RimWorld and I’ve only ever tried to launch a spaceship once(spoiler I died).
Such a good game, such good modding scene.
Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I’ve tried the game a few times and it doesn’t click with me. What’s is it that you find so appealing?

TF2 is one of my highest as well, but only half as many hours as you! Lots of hats… cashed out all my unusuals for an Index.
Highest is probably Diablo II+D2R, played every day in my teens, from when I got home to when I slept. Then I started playing while botting. Has to be 3k+ hours. Never been so addicted to a video game.

Same, my most played game ever. I find it funny, at least to me, a game from 2007 thats barely supported by the dev is significantly better than the other modern team based shooters like overwatch and marvel bandwaggon money maker.
GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
I’ll tell you what it is. Freedom.
We can make servers, host servers, have our own communities and set our own rules. Hell, I haven’t played a Valve server in five years.
Overwatch isn’t a matter of better or worse. It fails to do, at base value, what I value TF2 for, freedom.
AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Overwatch was good when it released then they actively made it trash

I bet you’ve been cursed at in every living language. At 600 hours I called it quits. That was maybe 8 years ago. Couldn’t hack it. But, godspeed to you, great creep slayer.

World of Warcraft by a huge margin. A couple of years ago, I went through all my characters, and added the /played time up. I think it was already over 15k back then (maybe 20k) and I’ve played a bunch since then. Also, I often delete characters, so I can’t count those. My sub runs for another 10 days, so I might take the time to check again.
Next is probably Diablo 2, but that was 20 years ago, when this stuff wasn’t really automatically tracked.
On Steam I have two idle games at 800 hours, FF14 650h, both Nioh games 600h each.
pupbiru@aussie.zone 3 days ago
for sure wow… i remember in xfire days it logged like 20hrs
… i literally have nightmares where my character is reaching out of a black void sobbing “please im so lonely come back and play with me”
fuck that whole game
Nythos@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
Likewise for me.
I have upwards of 6k hours in WoW and my next closest games is Rainbow 6:Siege is ~500
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I played Wow for the first 3-4 years after its launch.
I had a party time job, but otherwise I was playing wow. At some point my /played time passed a year, after that I refused to look. I don’t know if it ever got to two years, but I fear it may have…
Deestan@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Factorio for me. Steam has 3000 hours logged, but I played it for ages before getting Steam version so really no idea. Estimating 4000 hours total.
Sixner@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I feel like I would love this game, but I already have plenty of other games to enjoy I’m trying to hold off.
Lots of rimworld time though.
Deestan@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Rimworld! For me it is right after Factorio in playtime list if I filter out idle or semi-idle games.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 4 days ago
Satisfactory for me. 2000 hours and counting
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
Before this I used to play certain games exclusively, often for 10+ hours a day (beefy laptop at work and then home).
QuakeWorld - '98-2003
Ragnarok Online - 2003-2008
WoW - 2008-2012
EVE - 2012-2014

Also since 2020 I’ve been wfh. So technically yes, I play games at work.
Krudler@lemmy.world 2 days ago
4000+ hours in Gems of War as I used to be the top streamer until the publishing company fucked me around. 3500+ in Diablo 3 as I was able to Leaderboard with a solo Monk… LB’ed and didn’t earn any XP in groups… all solo!

I’ve been playing a Half-Life mod called Sven Coop since 1999. I play almost daily, if only for a half an hour when I get home to unwind. Multiple server owners have given me admin rights to help manage their servers so sometimes I’m just there to kick griefers or change levels that are broken so people don’t leave. There are many thousands of user made levels. People are still making them. The mod is still getting updated. Just did actually.
It wasn’t added to Steam until 2016. So there was no way for me to track play hours until then. Since 2016 it shows that I have a little over 3000 hours. And I used to play more before I became an adult and had to do adult things. So I can only imagine what my total hours are.
10,000 hours? And that’s probably conservative.
I will have been playing regularly for 26 years this January.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 days ago
It’s was World of Warcraft before I quit.
What other games had in hours, that had in days. Probably around 500 days, mostly standing around waiting for others.
Zacryon@feddit.org 3 days ago
Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.
Best Co-Op game I’ve ever played with a marvellous community and it’s own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.
Stopped playing though when they introduced the “flappy boots” minigame. I know it’s optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can’t help the feeling.
In German I would say “die Luft ist raus” about this. Literally translated: “the air is out” and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just “meh”, although it was (very) appealing before.
If you haven’t played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won’t regret it.
Krudler@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I love the expression! Sounds close to “out of steam” in English which is used similarly… nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or “special something” is gone

M137@lemmy.world 3 days ago
That’s steam but the games I’ve put the most time into are:
Minecraft, must be over 10k hours. Halo 1/2/3 and Reach, pretty sure over 10k hours combined.
There’s surely some game I’m forgetting right now, just woke up.
There are also several mobile games I must have spent thousands of hours into over the years.
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I don’t have an exact number but it would have to be at least 5000 hours I’ve sunk into Minecraft. Been on and off the game since 2013, I’d get bored of the current version and switch to Beta (fairly sizable community on r/goldenageminecraft), I’d do some worlds where I’d obtain stuff in older versions that weren’t obtainable later (whole wiki on Discontinued Minecraft items/blocks/structures/entities), of course I’d do modded.
I think the thing with Minecraft for me is that I spent all the time learning the game back in high school when I had more free time than I do as an adult, and I can nowadays play it extremely casually (~3 hours/week).
Its hard for me to get into new games (most recent game I got was Dredge) because I have like 2 hours a session to learn it, and it might be a few days between sessions.
Bosht@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I feel you man. It’s few and far between where there’s a game you can easily drop / pick up on a whim with limited time. The only one that comes to mind would be Powerwash Sim but Infully realize that’s not for everyone. Wish I wasn’t so exhausted I’d go try to pull a list for you. Maybe Cult of the Lamb? Anyway, hardcore Minecraft fan myself. Consider it one of my fave zen games. Enjoy man! Merry Christmas!
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 3 days ago
If you do have any Zen games to recommend that don’t have a long learning curve, let me know!
Other than Minecraft, I’ll casually play some old iPad games on an iPad 2 I still have.

The culling was nice until they ruined it, hunt was nice until they finally ran me off with their monetization efforts, valves deadlock is climbing my playtime ranks though. It’s now 7th place at 224 hours.
secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 4 days ago
I’m trying so hard to get into deadlock but the game runs horribly. It’s not like I have a weak system, it’s mid range.
Briict@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days ago
It certainly has a long way to go in some areas and is ahead of what I’d expect in others. It supposedly works on Linux but crashes immediately for me so Windows it is… here’s to hoping for a solid optimization patch.

Finally! Someone with over 1000 hours in a game. I think I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris alone. Granted I’ve definitely walked away from that game in the endgame for over an hour and come back with practically nothing changing. It’s a very slow game.

MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
A nontrivial amount of my gaming time was reset by steam around 2010… IDK why, but there are games on my steam account that I know I’ve sunk over 100 hours into that show zero hours.
Right now, one of my highest is satisfactory, sitting around 1500+ hours.
menemen@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Yeah, I played a lit of 1.6 and source. Then my family and job life had me quit playing for a few years. When I came back it said 1.6 hours for both. Cannot say when it happened though.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
Yeah, I have a ton of time into HL/HL2/CS:GO/Audiosurf/PvZ
Pretty much all of that was lost.
I did a quick Google search and according to some commenters on websites, the great reset was around 2010.
I’ve been on steam since the early days, I think I installed it around the time that blue shift came out? I forget. But back then, if you had any HL2 title, and you put that into steam, you would get what is now known as “the orange box” (more or less). So, yeah, I got a bunch of valve games basically free and I’ve only expanded that collection.
Recently I’ve tapered my spending on games because life/work/family doesn’t allow me a lot of time to play. Which is probably why I like satisfactory so much. If I get an hour, I can build my factory, save it half complete and go back and continue building later.
The biggest thing that I feel like SF has going for it, is that they give you all the tools, tell you the objectives and let you figure everything else out. You have 100% control over how you accomplish the task at hand. You can save/quit anytime you would like, and there’s no demands to get things done in a particular timeframe.
You can save halfway through a build, and you’ll come right back to where you left off. Most games now-a-days are match based, once you’re in a match, you feel obligated to finish the match, and there’s seasons or limited time objectives that you must play a minimum amount in order to even have a chance of getting… There’s just so much pressure, micro-transactions, and effort required.

Always more active than I think, always less active than I want considering my main method of play is leading public platoons. It’s great if you can concentrate into a hex and get people supporting each other. It’s shit if you’re just in a Sundy telling squads to ghost cap 4 hexes at a time to cut stuff off.

I got suckered into playing 800+ hours of GTA Online and paying thousands of SEK for shark cards over a year or two before I realized what a terrible game it is.
I was addicted to it, and paid money every month to buy shark cards.
When my work situation improved however, I took a few steps back and realized that I had wasted a lot of money on it and that I was only chasing the dragon that was just out of reach, kept away from me by carefully crafted mental mechanics of the game.
I was disgusted and refused to participate further.
I uninstalled it right away and have never looked back.

Caboose12000@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I never spent a dime on it, but I did play for over 3000 hours before rock star blocked linux. I enjoyed the grind rather than the reward, so it sort of became my little safe-space game when I was really stresses out. could always just go hang out with my buds for a few hours and grind out a million bucks. I’m still kinda torn up about the anticheat situation tbh, I would gladly play alone if there were any way to play the same game. but story mode just doesnt compare for me, completly different game :(
