I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
According to Steam, Arma 3. But I know for a fact that a lot of those hours were not technically in game because I would spent hours upon hours in Notepad++ scripting for my modules while I had the in-game editor running in the background to alt-tab in an test things every now and then.
TF2 is second, and that’s all actual play time, baby.
However, in Ultima Online I spent a good 8+ hours a day, every day, from 1997 to 2003. So probably that; I just have no actual counter for the time put in.
Because I’ve been playing on and off for around decade - if not a little longer - on xbox360, I’m going to say Borderlands.
I still have a ton of content left in the game since I only had the zombie island and underdome riot DLCs until three years ago and even then still had only really focused heavily on my main account for most everything in game, leaving my playthroughs with the others far behind in the dust.
Tabletop Simulator. In 2020 my weekly gaming group couldn’t meet anymore, until we discovered that solution. We still meet in person occasionally but we have been playing every week online. I’m genuinely not sure how I would have gotten through the lockdowns without it.
20 years ago before I had a wife, a child, pets, or a mortgage and when I had a simple job, I would destroy weeks at a time with some Final Fantasy 8. Logged obscene hours, unlocked every secret and beat every minigame, more than once. There’s just no time in my life now for a game requiring that kind of time commitment, but there’s always the memories
Yeah, at 7k+ hours, my Dota time dunks on pretty much 90% of the people in this thread. And I’m still not tired of it. It’s a daily ritual type of game.
Thing is, the time I put isn’t even close to the time of several of the people I’ve met.
Guild Wars 2; I’m at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I’m not sure if that’s the recent content, or if it’s me getting tired of it. I don’t have a ton of objectives I’m interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that’s it.
Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It’s just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.
Those idle games running in the BG sure racked up the hours. Ran them for more than half a year before I realized I was just wasting power for something senseless.
