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?

    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.

    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.

    Civilization VI with the right mods is insane. Just a shame the multiplayer is so ridden with desync, and the newer ones suck.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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:

    1. Modern Warfare 2 OG, not remaster - 411
    2. Dragon Age Origins - 245. Makes sense considering how many times I restarted lol
    3. Baldur’s Gate III - 215. Pretty sure that’s mostly one playthrough.
    4. Trails of Cold Steel III - 178. Holy fuck is this game long! I’m only just now in the finale.
    5. Slay the Spire - 169. That’s way off though for sure. I have it on Steam, mobile, and Switch.
    6. Elden Ring - 153
    7. Persona 5 Royal - 136. I was not prepared for how long this game is.
    8. Divinity Original Sin - 127. I restarted a lot.
    9. Path of Exile - 116
    10. And of course, Skyrim. 105, but I’ve never actually finished it even once.

    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.

    4k hours on Geometry Dash. It’s very addicting to play and or beat the community’s hardest levels.

    I don’t get much screen time - work and other hobbies - but I’ve somehow got over 300 hours in cyberpunk. Also, I’m fairly new to it at the mo, but I could see myself putting a lot of hours into mewgenics.

    runescape more than i like to admit. before the eoc/falador protest i played sparingly, because of school. then around 2018, i started playing during an event then found i could make more gp by selling form the shops to ge, which help funded bonds, and i did it for severalyears til i got burnt out from rs, and i only play it sparingly. i am a casual bosser, im not good at fighting the harder ones with too much complexity/movements.

    i know people dint like TH/mtx, they couldve just got rid of the xp lamps/stars that were causing the problems. rs threw a fit and removed everything like minor daillyscapes.

        The worst part is that I still believe I’m fairly new and inexperienced to this game… How’s it like at 4k ?

          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!

          Man! now I want to play it again hahahahah
