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.

Satisfactory. I’m well past 1,500 hours.
The factory must grow
The factory building genre is way to addictive, I only have like 200 hours as of now in satisfactory, but I must say Spaghetti bases on satisfactory are a work of art
The genre is crack for anyone in any kind of STEM job. Gets even worse if you’ve got ADHD too
Stopped at around 100 hours with Update 7, might have to wait for 1.0 to fully get back in again
Has 1.0 been announced to be close?
I’m guessing before the end of 2023, considering the speed of their updates.
Plenty of time to mess around with other games!
In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That’s over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.
Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#.
The above two I don’t regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.
Then there are games like Civilization, Rimworld, Tropico and even Path of Exile. These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.
Another WoW addict checking in. I was somewhere north of 12,000 hours from release to the end of Wrath with another stint during Classic.
I’ve since quit with no intention of ever returning. Despite how much I loved the game it doesn’t love me back, and it’s better if I don’t play at all.
It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!
It’s undoubtedly WoW for me too, but I don’t know how many hours. I wish there was a way to check without re-subscribing.
If it ever gets added to Xbox Game Pass I’ll probably give it another whirl.
I’m glad I never picked up wow. Its definitely a all or nothing type game.
Rocket league… 4500 hours… only a diamond 2
Also Rocket League. I’ve got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can’t do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.
Nice! I’m at 1400hrs and can proudly say I’m Champ 2 (in Rumble)!
Wow really? Maybe you dont play ranked much? I have 850 hours and am champ 2 / 3 by solo 2v2ing
Embarrassingly, I typically only.pkay ranked and am D2 in both 2v and 3v … but, I haven’t played in 2 or 3 months now and I understand they’ve changed the MMR or how players are ranked. Btw, I’m old
10k+ hours here, been playing since 2016. Got bored of ranked and the way people play in there at least 3 years ago.
Where are you people getting all this time from?!
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
Same. I get maybe an hour or two a week total these days. Which I’m ok with to be honest. Lots of other things on the go constantly.
I know, right? I have about 88 hours in PlanetZoo and I’ve had the game for 3 years.
Before those things that grow in your house and eat all your food.
This is a low ball but I easily have 3000+ hours in FFXIV and Old School Runescape (not combined)
Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?
I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like “Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC”. It was tough :-/
It does start really slow but once you get to the end of A Realm Reborn and the beginning of the first expansion it really takes off.
end of A Realm Reborn
Google says that’s roughly 120 hours, oof.
I’ve been playing video games for the last 27 years or so. If a game isn’t starting to be fun in the first few hours it’s usually not worth sticking with it. For example anyone saying “The game starts at max level!” totally missed the point in my opinion, if everything before that is shit, why have it at all?
Btw. if you do slog it through ARR, what happens if you make a new character to play a different class? Do you have to go through it again?
It’s not that ARR is bad, just that Heavensward was such a jump in the quality of both writing and voice acting that it makes ARR look bad in hindsight. And the slog was actually the post-ARR section (ie patch content). It was awful. Largely cleaned up now though. Still long.
If you ever do play, the biggest mistake you can make is to rush to endgame. You’ll burn out. Take it slow, read the dialog, watch the cutscenes, and you’ll have a much better time. It is Final Fantasy after all.
You don’t need to make an alt to play a different class. The game encourages multiclassing and there is an ingame server transfer system so need to make one for other servers either. But yeah if you do make an alt you need to go through it all again.
I’m usually not into games that “start at max level” either, but to me, going through the boring parts of ARR was worth it to get to the amazing expansions. I wouldn’t even say ARR is bad. It’s pretty standard MMO content for the most part. It’s just that the expansions are so good that ARR looks bad by comparison.
As for leveling classes, you’re free to switch classes pretty much whenever you want. No need to make another character to play another class. You mainly just play lower level content to level other classes but it goes much faster since you don’t have to replay the story.
The good news is that you don’t have to make a new character to play different classes or jobs—you can play every job on one character, so if you don’t have any intentions of starting an alt, you only have to put up with that ARR slog once.
Imo, the worst part of ARR is a particular quest you have to do about halfway through. It just kills the momentum of the storyline. But it does pick up a lot by the end. If you ever do decide to give the game a try, you can play up to lv60 for free (with some limitations), which covers the base game and first expansion (Heavensward).
I’d highly recommend ignoring all side quests and focusing on the main story to get ARR out of the way ASAP. After that, the game really opens up and Heavensward improves dramatically in terms of pacing. But yeah, I totally hear you about not wanting to stick around with a game that starts off slow. I literally quit FFXIV for years because of ARR until I got the whim to get back into it last year lol.
FFXIV for sure is up there. Probably my most hours in a single game. The first several Monster Hunter games are so similar that I kinda want to count all their hours together. If I did that then the MH franchise MAY surpass XIV. Either one is a hell of an experience and I don’t regret any of it.
4,167 hours of DOTA 2.
Holy shit. Glad I quit.
Come back to us comrade. I have over 6000 hours now and it’s still great. I’ve been playing since TI2 though so it’s only like 600hr per year average.
Factorio - 364h on steam and god only know how many outside Planetary Annihilation: Titans - 332h BeatSaber - 230h
But compared to other gamers …
Roughly 2.000 hours in Terraria. But Factorio is quickly catching on.
All of these comments have amateur numbers. My most played is wow and over all of my characters its on the order of 500 days.
Europa Universalis 4. Actually most Paradox games.
This. I think I have 1.1k hours on steam and probably double that outside of it.
World Of Warcraft. I stopped looking at /played once I passed 5000 hours and that was during WoTLK, I’m gonna take a guess and say i would have ended up between 12-13k hours. Just stopped playing one day about 4 years ago and have had no interest in logging back in for some reason… just weird I’d had enough.
I’ve got nearly 800 hours into Cyberpunk2077.
It’ll probably be my goto game until its sequel comes put in a decade or so.Considering picking up cyberpunk now that the bugs are gone. Is it that good?
In September the game is being vastly reworked. Lots of the mechanics are being changed. The skill trees are being completely re-conceived. This will likely be it’s final form.
If you get it now and finish a play through by then, sure it’ll be worth it.
Team Fortress 2, i’m on like 2000 hours, which is rookie numbers really, but i joined during the pandemic so, thats why…
I’m at 5000. Don’t play much nowadays, but used to play competitive and go to lans.
8k hours in Minecraft, 1.4k hours in City Skylines, about 1.2k of those in one city. 😂
Definitely factorio, but I can’t tell you how many hours. I started playing on steam, but then downloaded it from factorio.com she had multiple installs so I could play different mod packs. Steam says 1100 hours, but it’s got to be 3 or 4 times that, total. I’ve played multiple saves that took several hundred hours
Do you know of a factorio community on lemmy? I tried looking but didn’t find anything.
I subscribed to [email protected] but it doesn’t have much traffic.
I’ll join too. Let’s give it traffic
Same here. Steam says 200 hours. Which is a lot for me. The next closest is NMS at 50 hours.
My play time is also higher because I have played many hours offline and then reset my computer so it didn’t track that time.
It’s such a ridiculously addictive game. I regret nothing.
My longest NMS save is 80 hours. I mostly just do the expeditions.
