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.
I have almost 4000 hours in Factorio and didn’t play it for 2 years. I swear this game is some voodoo lifetime stealing curse.
Ok, so I’m 44, and my parents literally played D&D and video games with us growing up. I literally don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t gaming.
That being said.
According to Steam:
Factorio: 4,330 hours
Dyson Sphere Program: 2,506 hours
Skyrim: 2440 hours
Stellaris: 2,237 hours
Dungeon Defenders: 1644 hours
Terraria: 1630 hours
Fallout 4: 602 hours
Also I probably have well over 20,000 hours in 2.5 edition, 3.0, and 3.5 edition D&D. Only counting actual tabletop time.
Finally someone mentions Factorio, especially since the DLC just came out.
Oh my god yes Dyson Sphere Project. If you liked it and Factorio give Satisfactory a shot. It’s first person but an amazing experience.
Satisfactory scratches that same itch, in a totally different way. Adding that third dimension throws a lot of Factorio people off, because it makes it ‘too easy’- if you build it wrong, it’s fine, just go up a level.
Nah fam, play some more. Just going over the top song gonna cut it off the first few tiers. Especially if you want your factory to look good.
I know it’s a bit off topic, but is PlanetSide 2 approachable for new players still? I loved the original and tried the sequel when it came out but didn’t get much of a chance to play it. I’d be interested in giving it a shot
By yourself it can be rough. But if you join a squad that is active in voice chat people will usually help.
Yooo I have 1030 hour in Planetside 2, One of my favorite games ♡
I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying this on Lemmy! It warms my heart. I might just start playing it again
The following are some of my most played
Minecraft - Surely about 3k Hours Surviving Mars - 1k Hours Astroneer - 1.5k Hours (Mostly plaud in Early Access, newer versions kinda suck) Shapez.io - 500hours Maybe Portal 2 - 250hours
I loved Kingdom come deliverance
Same, it’s tied with Ghost of Tsushima for favorite all time. I can’t wait for KCD2 in February.
you cannotsimply quit civilization only after the tutorial…
Fuck yeah Factorio! You should give Satisfactory a shot!
Over the past year? Probably Vampire Survivors.
As of late? Doom (the 2016 reboot).
Of all time? I’m actually not sure, especially if you include my pre-internet / pre-always-being-spied-on-and-tracked history. But probably it would be one of the Street Fighter 2 iterations.
I don’t think I’ve even played 450 hours total of games in the past 25+ years, though. So, I’m probably a bit of an outlier around here.
I liked Starfield as well man, I’m with you! Fallout 4 as well =]
All my games with over 100 hours playtime. Outside of those, probably Minecraft which must be over 2000 and some console games, maybe a couple Zelda games and Persona 3 FES at 100-200
STARBOUND!!! Dude you’re the only ever person I’ve run into. That was one for the first games I supported in Early Access and hold a special place in my heart. I somehow lost my original save on that game and was utterly devastated. At some point I’ll go do another run bit damn did that hit me hard. I had countless bases, my shop was so decked out. Ugh.
Easily minecraft. I love just fiddling with making random machines or decorating or optimizing pathways. Sometimes i just want to run around with a flaming sword and kill every cow i see
I really enjoyed Risk of Rain 1 but I don’t get why people like Risk of Rain 2. They completely changed the game and it plays like shit. Is it only possible to like it if you didn’t play the first one?
I only played RoR 2 and i never understood RoR 1.
Maybe you’re right - two different audiences?
I really did not enjoy Risk of Rain, RoR2 however I played many hours of.
I played RoR1 first, years before 2 was even announced. I still like RoR2. It’s been better and worse with different updates, it’s definitely a lot worse with the DLC and much better with certain mods. Both games are kinda broken and unpolished under the surface, they’re really not so different
Totally agree - RoR is one of my all time favorites. Its strategic elegance and style just didn’t survive the translation to 3D
I played the first one when it came out and I still liked the second.
I played RoR1 a couple years after release, RoR2 on release, and RoRR on release. I still like 1/Returns better than 2, but I like 2 as well. They are honestly pretty similar in gameplay, but I think the 2d style leaves a lot more room for boss moveset creativity.
I haven’t played RoR1, but loved RoR2, but I also tend to prefer 3d games over 2d. I haven’t played since the latest xpac, so I don’t know if they fixed the things they broke or not.
World of Warcraft
On my first character alone it was 370+ days at some point, and I retired her when the first time expansion came out. Safe to say I’ve spent years on that game, even though I don’t even remember how long ago I quit.
Yep, my main has around 400 and I don’t even want to think about adding up all the many alts and dead HC characters at this point … They don’t call it world of warcrack for no reason. I will say I have had a ton of fun with it over the last 15 years. I’ve only played casually witha few very brief stints of raiding a little more seriously.
Rocket league. 8000 hours. Haven’t played in about two years.
Second would be HOMM3.
3300 hours on Destiny. I love the game, I’ve made long friendships through it, it’s not perfect, but it brings me joy.
God damn crayon eaters are ruining this tower!
…burnt out at around the 900hr mark myself sadly but the friendships remain :)
Not a lot of single game no lifers on here… i.imgur.com/H9PWPxq.png Obv wallpaper engine, clicker, and perfect tower are idle things so most of those hours aren’t active so pretty much every other game I have is under 200 hours.
Minecraft probs has like 5k+ tho.
For the longest time, I could never understandhow anyone could put more than like 100 hours into a game. The most I’ve ever gotten is 200ish, but that was from years of drunk Rocket League with friends.
Then, in the same week, I got an adderall perscription and discovered Noita. I’m sitting at around 500 hours since June. That game has my soul.
My most played game over the last few years has been a timer I use to study for my statistics degree. With the steamdeck, I find myself hopping from game to game just to see how my oldies run. I might play 20 hours a week across 20 different games. Then do a 9-5 stint with the pomo timer on to do get projects going.
If you have ADHD The Legend of Pomodoro is not the cure but it makes getting difficult things done manageable. It’s pretty much an idler.
I have no life. Also my /played in WoW is in months if not over a year. I don’t have an addictive personality
About 4.5k for dota haven’t played in years. I’ll never play another game that much again and I’ll probably never play dota again.
Dota (and mostly every multiplayer competitive) is very addictive on make you think you are learning something new while you are just trying to solve the new patch.
100%

I have nearly 4000 hours in cs
Saw a dude with over 10k hours. Crazy
About 1000 hours in Elite:Dangerous, my most-played Steam game. Kinda bums me out that it was all 2020-2022 gameplay for the first 900 hours but I haven’t had time to get back into.
Valheim continues it’s slow burn at about 400 hours since 2020.
No times on Xbox games, at least not from the OS. Fortnite has probably become my top game there. Whatever. It’s not just for my entertainment. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey I think had somewhere over 200 hours in the save file time. I’d love to know how many hours I put into Forza Motorsports 4 when custom paint schemes was a technological feat. Ace Combat 4/5/7 also have a ton of replays for me since the bonus medals are so tangible. Far Cry 2 doesn’t have a ton of hours, but I was definitely infatuated with it circa 2010. That night time desert still calls to me
I also put well over 1000 hours in. Real disappointed they seemingly gave up on it. The one thing I wanted was to walk around my anaconda aimlessly while I pass my destination at 20c.
They seem to have returned to it recently. Total redesign of power play. Targoid war with titan battles (basically massive multiplayer raids). New ships. New frame shift drives. Colonisation coming soon.
The Thargoid war seemed pretty exciting. I did some ground-based ship battles and was decent at it, but I couldn’t commit the time for a space battle, for a titan battle, or for a foot battle. I can’t say I want to walk around my ship, but I’d take it if it meant a more realistic transition between ship and foot, though. I still pop in for quick pirate hunting at nav beacons. I’m always getting fomo about the latest credit farms but have given up on owning a carrier. I appreciate the bio exploration as an expansion on long distance exploration since the payout is comparable to casual combat, at least.
But yeah, ultimately, it’s a fairly empty game. Lots of space, little variation. Obviously I enjoyed it enough to put 1000 hours into. No regrets there. But I was very into the lore and community stuff so it was as much roleplay as it was gameplay
Shout out Planetside. Haven’t logged on in a while, I wonder how many hours I have in it. I’ve got over 2k hours in Civ V, over 1k in xcom 2, csgo, halo mcc. Who knows how many hours in Minecraft and fallout that were never logged
I have played a lot of FFXIV, but have stopped playing for a couple years now. Spending a fair chunk of time in Street Fighter and Monster Hunter, but I have a feeling that will change over the next year with Assetto Corsa Competizione and AC Evo potentially taking the monster hunter spots.
Fellow gmod player, yay. I think I have most in Warframe, Garrys Mod, CS:GO, 600 - 900hrs each. Then games like TF2, HOI 4, Payday 2, each at around 300hrs. A lot of time in Tabletop Simulator. After that a bunch of games at 200hrs, but too many to list here.
I’ve been keeping deep rock in my wishlist for a while now. Seeing your playtime I think I might finally buy it. It looks like something I’d have fun in
It’s a great game, and very healthy when it comes to fomo (it’s non existent you can pick previous battle passes and make progress on them, there’s many systems for unlocking new stuff…). The only downside of starting “late” is that you have everything to unlock, which may feel overwhelming, while I only had to unlock new cosmetics and gear upgrades as they were introduced over time (been playing since early access).
Rock and Stone brother!
FOR ROCK AND STONE !
