I dont care what you say in your review, but if you clock 8000 hours in a game I’m pretty sure you liked it enough to keep playing, or you’re actually just addicted and need to seek help.
Well, could just have started the game, then went to get the doorbell, got hit by a car on his porch and was in a coma for a year before he could get back to close the game.
I’ve got some serious time in games I gave bad reviews to. In part because I often get interrupted pause the game and don’t get back to it until the next day.
I played Dark Souls for 80 hours before I thought it was crap. Shit graphics (on the Xbox 360), shit difficulty, no story, thought the game was just one big trollface, tempting you with ideas that might pan out, but don’t. I kept playing because everybody else thought it was the best game ever, and convinced myself that it was like other RPGs, where if you grinded enough to get the right gear, you could tame the difficulty. It didn’t. Difficulty for older areas was better, but new area difficulty was still shit.
Longest is 2,700 for a bad review. Oxygen Not Included. The hours come from a combination of things.
I bought it on a whim the first week of early access so years of on and off playing. Mid game gets super slow and with a stable base there is little danger. So que up some dig, sweep, or build orders and go to bed. 20 minutes of play for 20 hours of run time.
Then the game starts to have problems with performance so sort the junk and fill the world with plastic to simplify calculations.
Then there is the runtime I used running a mod that generated a world checked it’s stats and sent the info to a map database.

8k hours is a lot.
That’s like PhD level, into a game I’ve never heard of before now.
Sure, It’s trust their input.
I’ve played osrs some 15000 hours but I suck at it.
Isn’t OSR a bit “plodding to success” as you can always grind up your skills?
Yeah it kinda is, but the skill ceiling in pvp and pvm is massively high.
There’s people who can do all the bosses in game eyes closed without hands and then there’s me who can sit clicking that same rock for a year
Oh yeah I remember the mining clicking 😂 with the stone spontaniously combusting 😋
And breaking your pickaxe if you didn’t click away lol. Some of the random events were wild lmao
What’s osrs?
Old School RuneScape (I had to Google it)
Thank you for the leg work on looking what it is and then replying, thinly remarking that I could have googled it instead ;)
I wouldn’t feel bad about asking here rather than googling it yourself. I like the engagement, personally.
That is over 10 years at 4h a day every single day.
~7 years, but couple breaks lasting up to half a year or something
Those are rookie numbers for strategy games.
Competency starts around 1500 hours.
Yup, I’m still a noob in EU4 after nearly 1000 hours. I’ll get the hang of it eventually. 😅
Can confirm, still suck at every PDX game despite a thousand or hundreds of hours in them.

I will die on this hill

But did you spend 8.000 hours?
