I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.
I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.
What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?
I think the game with the highest playtime for me is Final Fantasy XIV with around 1,2k hours. That’s only Steam though, I’m sure Minecraft is way, way higher than that.
Depends how we’re counting. Actively playing is probably WoW, but I have so many hours in Factorio, as i would just leave it running overnight. Had a server up for friends also, so probably have close to 1k hours of the game being open, but definitely feel like i wasn’t actively playing as much as WoW. Just to how many years i put into playing WoW.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever focus on one game enough to catch up to my time in WoW. I had one character with over one year /played and I was also the type that had multiple raiding alts. Tbf, some portion of that time was afk or just shitchatting in IF/Org.
You believe it or not I keep learning new tricks and exploring new ways to solve old problems. If you factor in (no pun intended) mods like space exploration or Factorio 2.0 then it becomes more true.
I was able to “finish” Factorio 1.0 several times but never reached end game in both space exploration and Factorio 2.0 and still enjoy to play it several months straight every so often.
I still have to visit Vulcanus and Fulgora because I was playing with friends and they “sent” me on Gleba, which it felt like playing Factorio for the first time; loved it!
Trackable?
Terraria at just over 1,350 hours plus another 147 in tmodloader since it moved to steam
7 Days to Die at 711
Binding of Isaac at 572
Untrackable?
Probably Breath of Fire 2, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, or maybe Secret of Mana
I play a randomizer of one of them almost every night before I go to bed or when I’m bored.
Most definitely continuum/subspace. It’s been a long time, but I think the last time I checked it was around 16k hours. That said, it had a chat client that you usually left open in the background. So how much of that is actual play time I don’t know.
Slay the Spire without doubt 2.5k on steam plus some switch and mobile.
If you group the Trackmania games those do come close, and maybe Minecraft but I have barely touched that game in the last decade and no way to check hours from back then.

You ok over there?
Don’t worry, I haven’t played in over a year now.
🫂
That’s eight hours a day for five straight years. You sure love those cookies.
Probably still MW2 2011 I think I had a total of 50d playtime across both of my accounts lol.
Civilization VI with the right mods is insane. Just a shame the multiplayer is so ridden with desync, and the newer ones suck.
I’m sure when I last checked GTA5 on PS4 was sitting at around 1500 hours.
MW2 back on 360 was sitting at around 35 days according to the multiplayer leaderboards.

Factorio! 2k hours :)
I am over 4k but for someone else these are still rookie numbers lol
The worst part is that I still believe I’m fairly new and inexperienced to this game… How’s it like at 4k ?

Man! now I want to play it again hahahahah

Probably WoW or LoL. I don’t play either of those anymore and probably never will again, but I doubt any game I play would ever come close again.
According to Steam:
Most definitely continuum/subspace. It’s been a long time, but I think the last time I checked it was around 16k hours. That said, it had a chat client that you usually left open in the background. So how much of that is actual play time I don’t know.
The Binding Of Isaac, around 1700 or something
Same. I usually come back for 40+ hours each year. I only stopped playing because my save file corrupted
Minecraft, played since beta 1.5 (sometime like 2011 or 2012 ish). I probably have 3k or 4k hours in it
Terraria, cant calculate entirely because kid me pirated the early versions but I’d guess 2k or so between vanilla and modded
League as well unfortunately. Met some cool people from it through my 3k or so hours
The only other game above 1k is TF2
Well the top contender for me is FFXI by a mile. But naming an MMO in a thread like this almost feels like cheating.
My next game after that would be Hades 1 with 421 hours.
Slay the Spire without doubt 2.5k on steam plus some switch and mobile.
If you group the Trackmania games those do come close, and maybe Minecraft but I have barely touched that game in the last decade and no way to check hours from back then.
SimTower. I have spent too much time there
