ITT: people listing good games they played a bunch.
The answer is clearly world of warcraft.
Having grown up on the MUDs and MMOs that release before WoW I think I was thankfully inoculated against its more gamified, addictive formula.
EVE Online?
EXCUSE ME! Spreadsheet simulator clearly DOES NOT fall under the category of ‘worst game’ in any way whatsoever! Now hold on for a second while I log into my 7th account…
<Insert any Zachtronics game here>
This is unironically one of my favorite memes because it fits me SO WELL:
On Minecraft I have ~150 days playtime on PC, after switching to Prismlauncher (after some development drama) I have another ~22 days playtime. Along with my 1300 hours on switch it’s a total of 234.5 DAYS looking at pixelated blocks in a children’s game.that’s not even including my time in PE edition from when I was little or the multiple years I spent in Lunar client which doesn’t track playtime. In total it’s probably WELL over a whole year of JUST Minecraft.
I ALSO have 9154 hours in other steam games and 1500 MORE in animal crossing. In total this is 16,000 hours, 670 days or
1.8 YEARS
I do also have minor autism.
edit: also 2-300 hours in oldschool RuneScape lol

I have logged over 200 hours in RuneScape just this month.
It probably helps that I have a job where I can have it running next to me. At this point, it is basically just an idle game that I only need to touch every ~15 minutes to refresh my idle logout timer. Pretty much the only times it’s not running are when I’m asleep or physically away from a computer.
Hell, even when I’m away from my computer, it keeps running as long as I can touch it every now and then to stay logged in. If I’m AFK’ing slayer with aggressive enemies, I only really need to touch it to refresh my inventory or the idle timer. Even when I’m playing other games, RuneScape just runs quietly on my second monitor.
Elite Dangerous, Rimworld
Came here to also say Elite. They’re actually doing updates now, but I still would never recommend to anyone despite devoting so much time to it.
What kind of updates?
A bunch of events, new systems, base building, etc. They’ve been kicking ass since Braben stepped down.
Wow base building and the bubble expanding? That’s decent. All part of odyssey I imagine? I’m still on horizons.
JUST CUZ I GRINDED SMOKEYS FOR A CAT HEADBAND FOR 400 HOURS AND NEVER GOT ONE AND HAD TO BUY IT FOR MYSELF WITH MY DEAD BRANCH PROCEEDS IN RAGNAROK IN LIKE 2003 DOESNT MEAN I’M
oh
When I was in college it was WOW. I have soooo many hours in that game. But it also helped fix a lot of issues I had with social anxiety. I went from basically never interacting with people in that game to being elected to run a 60 person guild. I didn’t even campaign they just nominated me for it when the previous GM left. It did a lot to help me feel like I could be normal. Then I got a job and a GF and didn’t have time to play as much anymore.
These days it’s Warframe but I don’t have enough free time to really get into video games like I used to anymore.
I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.
Finished playing through it just recently, seriously underrated imo.
Forspoken is one of the only 9th generation games I’m actually interested in.
It’s legit brilliant, and I unironically love it.
Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts and Sword of the Stars 2.
part of Sword of the stars 2 is even now it sometimes gets so laggy that you can’t finish a game. You just at some point declare that you’ve snowballed enough and can’t be beat anymore.
Hundreds of hours.
Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts is at least getting better now that the devs have abandoned it and modders are taking over.
Factorio. Do i need to say more?
Why aren’t you tending to your factory?
My factory is paused. I found Derail Valley Simulator, and have been absolutely loving driving trains
Did y’all hear about Rain World ?
Dota 2. Almost 10k hours. I got matched against s4 and had to face him in the mid lane. I got wrecked and I uninstalled the game, that was a few years ago now. I figured if I just matched against one of the best players in the world then I actually completed dota and it’s time to stop.
I had 10k hours in DotA before DotA2 was even a thing. DotA2 never pulled me in quite the same, but even so the best day of my life was when I uninstalled that shit for good in 2015.
I’ve tried a lot of drugs and dota is the strongest one I’ve had. Lol.
You know it’s a good game when hard drugs are on the table of comparisons
I have over 10k now but a lot is idle time waiting for match or friends
Oxygen not included. I spent so much brain beating that game, then wanted to play more.
I keep going back to ONI to try and get into its endgame. But I quickly start getting kicked around in a back alley by the temperature stuff. Like trying to figure out colony-wide temperature control.
Garry’s Mod back when spacebuild still existed. Fun stuff especially all the Stargate add-ons.
I should probably take a picture, but at least 1500 hours on Project Cars 2 on PS4 / 5
At least you you can probably drive better than 3/4 of the tech bros at a track day now.
Haha I did volunteer at a track for a bit and they paid me in rally car lessons, driving one of their WRXs through the woods, which was a blast.
They were convinced I’d done it before because before they taught me how, I was already good at left foot braking and could smoothly heel-toe while shifting, but in reality I hadn’t driven an IRL stick shift for more than a few hours at most. That’s not to say I didn’t make some silly mistakes though lol
Bought an FR-S recently and once I get some new tires on it, I’m gonna see how I do on a not-dirt track!
Anyway I’ve switched to PC now, if anyone wants to race…
