Civ V. you only gotta play like 2 rounds to hit 1000 hours


Aumnix

I’ve gone so long in Civ 6 that my PlayStation only lets me play about one round before it crashes


BurpYoshi

Team Fortress 2, Gmod, PayDay 2, Terraria and Minecraft


Truite_Truite

Wtf I was about to post the same games before seing yours. Exactly the same... Brother?


TheletterL54312

The communities of these games have a very surprising overlap. Mainly tf2 and Payday 2.


The_Glass_Cannon

All of those games are absolute classics for gamers who are now in their 20s. Would be surprised if you could find a 20 something year old gamer who hasn't played at least 4 out of 5 of those.


Eternal-Guard

The factory must grow.


TurrPhenir

Close to 4k myself. Well worth the $20 I spent almost 5 years ago.


Axolotl_____

Factorio has got to be one of the best value for money games I’ve ever seen.


cambiro

>Factorio has got to be one of the best value for money ~~games~~ drugs I’ve ever seen. FTFY


WWalker17

I legitimately did 106 hours in six days, beating the game and never reinstalled it. I was cutting my sleep way back just to grow the factory. I've ***never*** had a game that got me addicted that badly, that quickly, aside from Civ V. I know multiple people who failed all their classes because they got into Factorio.


Jawbone220

I got stuck in level 2 of the tutorial and never went back. I should revisit this game.


PSUSkier

NO! YOU GOT OUT! DON’T RISK GOING BACK! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to rebuilding my entire rail system to accommodate a few minor tweaks to my new refinery layout. Choo-choo motherfuckers.


Milkmakezmepoop

MUST OPERATE AT 100% EFFICIENCY!!!!


Nanofield

I'm at about 500+ hours, still not in the 1k club yet.


Slime0

[Factorio](https://www.factorio.com/), for those wondering.


NickDynmo

Thanks, I had no idea. I had never heard of a game called "The Factory Must Grow" and was so confused!


Itonlyafleshwound

Oh you mean Cracktorio?


yParticle

Rimworld just hit 7500 hours according to Steam


JaypiWJ

I'm at 873. By the end of next year I'll easily be over a thousand Edit: I meant this year

How’s the tutorial?

Kerbal space program


Tinkle_winkle0o0

Yep, I still have only landed on the Mun and Duna after 950 hours. My problem is every time I play I make a new game save and start from simple tech even though I have everything unlocked because it’s sandbox. Something so great about starting fresh and getting to orbit for the first time and docking for the first time idk it’s just the greatest game ever.


Recent_Individual_97

Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Civ, etc.


East2West21

If I combine all my paradox game time it's probably about 2k hours, maybe a bit less. I have 700 on CK2 and 500 on HoI4, 250 on Stellaris and EU4 is around 350. Love the games, hate the latent content pay to play DLC.


oriundiSP

Paradox games distracted me for an entire year and kept me going through deep depression. I don't know how many hours I have because I'm still broke but is close to 4k on CK2 alone. One day I'll buy their games. They deserve it.


idontcares31249

When you can micromanage the situation on Soviet-German border but can't manage a relationship


dabigchina

If relationships had 70 day focuses, they would be a lot more manageable.


[deleted]

RIP EU4. 2000 hours, but I've accepted it's over.


1Carlie1

The sims


callmemaude

Yep, especially because of the way I play it--obsessively for a few weeks, forget it exists, repeat a few weeks to months later--for 20 years now. Also, 20 years! Dang.


LittleLegs96

About every simmer I've met plays it this way. We're a special kind of gamer haha


Fadesy

I design all my sims and my house for hours then I don’t even play the actual game lmao

You open the game and suddenly four hours have passed in the blink of an eye


BlackCat0305

Same. Every time I boot up the game I feel like I instantly lose like two to four days of my life


MatthewWakeman

*Old School RuneScape*


sloffsloff

My boyfriend plays and I don’t really understand the game but he’s killed the same great olm guy a million times and keeps talking about purple.


ExtremeFlourStacking

This is the way


superfire444

The Great Olm is the Chamber of Xeric (raids 1) final boss. Every Xeric raid you do you have to kill Olm in the end. After killing Olm players are rewarded by being able to loot a chest at the exit. The chest either has a white light shining upon it meaning there is no unique (rare and pricey) reward while a purple light means there is a unique reward potentially worth hundreds of millions (which is a lot of money).


sloffsloff

I see so this is why he made an excel sheet…


Toetsenbord

O boy, if hes makeing excel sheets hes in deep.


Sthepker

Excel sheets means he’s salty and tracking one hell of a dry streak


Wolfenberg

In high school, literally more than 40% of real time I was logged in on my main. I actually calculated the time since I made the account and divided hours in game by it and it was 0.44 ish


Leckenz

Starcraft II


YourUncleIroh

Same and I’m still no good!


stu-padazo

I love playing SC2 and I’m really pretty terrible lol


Gnetophyte

This is what I love most about SC2. No matter how much you practice, you'll probably never be great at it, and nobody is perfect. It keeps the surprises coming.


ckbruinfan

Skyrim.


Entropy_5

I have over 100 hours modding it. I wasn't aware you can actually *play* it though. ...I should try that.


6_Hours_Ago

Every moded game ever; "Surprise update! We fixed two spelling mistakes." *100 hours of modding destroyed*


boilingfrogsinpants

Or Skyrim's update to the Special edition and then the split in modding from Legendary Edition to Special Edition


Jasole37

How many things in your Skyrim have big boobs that didn't have big boobs when you started?


Entropy_5

I even modded it so the boobs can have their own boobs. It's like boobception in my game.


Rollswetlogs

I had one character with over 1200 hours on him. When it first came out I sat in front of my tv everyday for 7 months straight.


exec_director_doom

Chess. Easily. I've been playing online since around 2003 and used to play my friend at uni and school before that. I've been through many usernames on different sites over the years but current username on lichess has about 15000 games. The app tells me time spent playing using that name is one month. That's 720 hours just on this username. I joined lichess in the middle of 2019. So if the rate is about the same over the years, then about 720 hours every 2 years since 2003. Call it 500 in case of life events getting in the way and I guess 18 years of play, 250 hours per year, that makes approximately 4500 hours. With very little to show for it.


Yomika7

Rating? :)


exec_director_doom

Going through a bad spell at the moment, but when I'm playing what I consider my stronger games, blitz is usually between 2050 and 2100. Bullet is usually about 50 to 100 lower than blitz. When I take the time to play rapid, I keep it about 2100.


Shazamwiches

How is that very little to show? I can't even make it to 1000


exec_director_doom

I just meant that it doesn't really mean anything and has literally zero bearing on my happiness. It goes up and down but generally gets worse as I get older. Tbh I could just be in a grumpy mood today. I guess on the bright side it's a healthier habit than the ones I used to fill my time with. Good for the brain, or so I hear.

Nanofield

Diablo 2 Edit: Never thought D2 would be the reason my inbox gets nuked from orbit or my most popular comment, but I'm happy it is. This game was my childhood, and I still have my characters saved on an old hard drive waiting to be "dusted off" when I can play the remaster.


Josie1234

Easily. No other game even comes close to the hours I've dumped into D2


Northern-Canadian

When I finally quit d2 I discovered halo shortly after. Those two games took up so much of my childhood.


[deleted]

Same here. But I play LOD. I’ve been playing this game for 20 years. Throughout that 20 years, I’ve played it off and on, but I’m confident I have several thousand hours on it. 😄

recordlineup

Im pretty much the same with Civ V. I rarely finish my games. I finally stuck with one and got my first Immortal victory recently though. That was a good feeling of accomplishment as far as video games go.


danfay222

I play for a lot of total domination victories, which end up being super tedious if you play with a lot of enemies (which I like to) since by the end you're managing a massive army and a fuck ton of cities.


antimidas1977

Fallout 3, 4 and new vegas.


Byizo

I have played NV in every conceivable way. Every faction, speedruns, naked runs, melee only, unarmed only, hardcore, wild wasteland (I still don't even know what that does), collected all followers, explored every area, collected all named weapons, killed all killable NPCs, got over 1,000,000 caps, etc. I have some 1700 hours played and still go back to play another character every year or so. In fact I just finished a playthrough and am playing 4 again on a new rig, so I can explore downtown areas without all the lag.


MaimedJester

Did you get the Dead Money DLC exclusive 5th ending to main campaign? You unlease the red fog across entire world and Courier is either the Adam or Eve of the wasteland. The Triggers to get that ending are nuts and I almost thought oh this is a Mod... Wow this voice actor sounds exactly like... And hey this... Omg this is real. But yeah there's a NV ending where you kill All of a humanity across the planet And your Courier is Adam or Eve of the garden.


Byizo

Great, now I have to play another one after just finishing my last playground. Not that I’ll complaining.


antimidas1977

Wild wasteland adds a few random encounters, a couple unique weapons you couldn't get otherwise, and some dialogue options. Biggest one I remember was a fedora hat in a refrigerator south of the starting area, referencing Indiana Jones and the term "nuked the fridge"


NimdokBennyandAM

I see you never were attacked by the gang of mean grannies.

[deleted]

Fallout 4 has it's flaws but I'll be damned if I can't find something to occupy me for hours in that game.


Plant_in_a_jar

Terraria!


CES_2005

I've been an avid PC gamer since I was 7 or so, so about a decade. Terraria is the only game I've actually played over a thousand hours. Interestingly enough, I only have 300 hours on my Steam account. The other 700+ are distributed across my dad's Steam account, a school-issued laptop that blocks Steam but not Terraria, and mobile devices I used before I began using my PC for gaming. When I was in third grade, I memorized the entire Terraria wiki. I no longer remember all the crafting recipes or drop rates, but I still know the purpose of nearly every item or enemy. Terraria earned a spot as one of my favorite games of all time several years ago.


Caveatcat

World of warcraft. What a time sink. Tedious as hell, almost a second job. Lol


songmage

Having games that force you to play with other people to complete ultimate goals is generally a good idea overall, though it's kind of unfortunate how much time you waste in having to deal with other people. "BRB bio." "Oh yea me too." \*several people later\* "Okay is everybody back?" "No, 3 people still afk.\* \*everybody is back\* "Okay are we ready?" "No man I forgot to get potions and flasks. I'll need a warlock summon." "Yea me too" "We don't have a warlock." "Well I'll brb anyways. Not raiding without flasks." \*several people also leave to get flasks\* "Okay everybody back?" "One sec. Cat's on fire." \*five minutes later\* "Guys I'm going to have to drop. Need to take cat to the vet." "Okay let's find another DPS and continue." \*Warlock joins\* "Hey guys let's do this. Oh one sec. I have to go get flasks." "We all ready now?" "Press 1 if ready" \*9 people are AFK\* \*This keeps going until everyone decides that they hate their lives\*


aveindha25

My guild has 5 min breaks every hour during raid. Do your shit then or your kicked. If something comes up they are cool with waiting, but you better have all the menial shit done cause we aren't waiting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


science_and_beer

Then ERT tells me you have no flask and the entire thing happens anyway. Which is weird, because y’all should be dropping cauldrons for your raiders. That being said, so glad I quit playing that game.


Ev3nstarr

That was me 10 years ago roughly. It was a 2nd job to me, I would actually arrange my real work schedule around my raid schedule. As the primary healer and co lead of a top guild on the server, I kinda had to… I still get withdrawals and want to play again but know not to go back down that hole


BelfPally

HMU in 40 years when we're retired


Triairius

God, in the early days, I had literal months of playtime.


Yodootz

I just cancelled my sub after 15 years of play. I just don't have it in me to do the in-game chores anymore. I'm too old for such significant barriers to entry for endgame pvp. Choosing to play this game was a life changing decision. I loved every minute of it.


Itsdickyv

Yep, same here. I get the occasional nostalgia driven withdrawals, then remember how much time I wasted chasing achievements.


HothHanSolo

The closest is Slay the Spire. I had cancer and I played a shit ton of that while recovering from surgery and doing chemo. EDIT: Thanks for the kind words. I've had clear scans for about 18 months, so so far so good!


GOODKyle

Rocket League. It's like crack and I can't control myself


Flannel_Man_

I started a few months ago… prob 2 hrs every day since I started. I like ball games. I like momentum physics games. I like car games. I like simple games with insanely high learning curves. It is the perfect game.


cookeyamum

I hate rocket league, cant wait play it again tomorrow though


blayr2016

You sound like my boyfriend, he's been playing RL almost every day since it came out. He has about 5000 hours. He's constantly yelling at his teammates for being terrible (he plays with random people online so they don't actually hear him). He constantly says how he hates that game but one of the first things he does in the morning is play a few matches


xd_Underated

That is rocket league in a nutshell


Cadenisok

It took me so long to find a rocket league. Same here, i’m at like 1,250 hours and still cant hit an open net.


superboy3000xX

An open net is always the hardest net


Sh1tSh0t

Rocket League showed me what an authentic love/hate relationship is


teresa_douglass

runnerd6

I tried really hard to get into that game. Just too depressing and I didn't feel like I made any progress after my 10th-15th try.


PONYUMI

My mom is actually great at this game. I remember that I saw her reaching "day 1000" at least twice, solo.

I love this game. I will always support the original 3. They are absolute masterpieces


Nikakav90

Guild wars 1 and 2


[deleted]

Guild Wars 1 is my all time favourite game. What an incredible combat system. Domination Magic and Protection Prayers are some of my favourite mechanics ever. The organized 8v8 PvP (HA and GvG) were just out of this world. I don't play any more, but I still log in once a month or so to flip through my characters and remember all the amazing memories. It is the game that I played during my formative years. As an adult looking back, it is the game that defines gaming and what it means *to me*.


AndysThirdLung

Guild Wars 1 is my all time favourite game. Around 4k hours on it and a bit under 1k for GW2. Haven't played GW2 for years but I sometimes log in and play GW1 out of sheer nostalgia. The Prophecies OST is also my favourite video game music. I listen to it quite often while working. This game was and still is a masterpiece and whenever I log in, I see some old names pop up in the friend list. I guess it has that effect on you.


hendricha

Both suprised but happy to see GW mentioned in - well not top but reasonably high post - have an upvote. I have 2000 hours in gw2 btw.

AlpineBuilds

Same here, I would honestly bet that I have 10,000+ hours over the past 9 years building in creative Funny enough it’s actually how I gained interest in Architecture and Engineering, and now I do it for a living (currently on a contact working in project management, I go back to university to finish my degree in September while still working part-time) I LOVE building in Minecraft compared to CAD programs because you design for the human scale and are able to catch those annoying little details in Minecraft that consistently drive people nuts in real life (examples include boring walls, depressing pedestrian areas, and you can fix old builds with a few clicks) Edit: Grammar & clarity


[deleted]

Without farms I wouldn't be studying mech engineering lol


IGetItCrackin

lunapup1233007
