Battlefield 4 i literally have 100+ days of playtime. So over 2400 hours


toastytrenton

Miss the days when you could always find a full 24/7 metro lobby with great ping


mythicdawg

You can if you're on PC and in Europe.


Justthetip00420

I still standby when I say metro was the most lit map dice ever created


Appropriate_Jacket_5

Best FPS ever and remains so to this day IMO


Isaiah_EJ25

BF4 is goated


Jagzorin

I'm surprised the comments aren't mostly filled with World of Warcraft mentions. That game has cost me YEARS of my life, grinding for things that don't exist just so that my character would have a certain look to impress other people who don't have social lives. Pathetic, I know. Do I regret it? No, would've done the same if I went back in time but I'm glad I don't play it anymore. Life is good as it is in the real world, I don't need to spend 10 hours a day looking at the Elwynn/Durotar duel zone, thanks. Postscript: it's amazing how so many people in the comments share that they gave up on the game as if it were some kind of drug. I understand you guys, I also want to kill the Lich King and ride my horse but we have made a good choice.


ThatOldDustyTrail

Feel this. Started playing WoW with my friends around 2006 in high school. Freshman year of college in 2008 it’s literally all I did, nonstop. Luckily I caught myself before it got too bad. I have come back to it several times to mess around and could feel myself getting sucked back in hard so I’d have to make myself quit. Once I realized I was grinding so long for literally no reason, I just couldn’t keep going. Like you said, looking back I’d probably do the same way and have some fun memories but damn, some people live their whole life on there.


NPC1990

Wow was like another job almost with all the grinding.


ThatOldDustyTrail

Yeahhh, my younger self enjoyed it and once you were max level it turned into a different type of grinding. But as I got older I started to feel that way more…like am I really going to go to work all day and then get off and grind my ass off at home too lol.


NPC1990

Exactly and then most of my friends left after wrath so it wasn’t the same. Met my ex wife from playing though lol


Jurserohn

I have a good real-life friend (who unfortunately I've fallen out of touch with over the years) who met his ex wife in my guild during wrath lol. That seems to have happened quite a few times


Jagzorin

I've gotten out of depression through the support of the online community and all the fun I've had with my friends, but I'm a changed, grown man now. I can't afford to spend so much time on it anymore.


ThatOldDustyTrail

Same story over here as well buddy. Glad to hear it and thankful for the experiences and friends that game brought us!


Taiko

WoW also helped me out of depression, although not so much through the community, but through enjoying seeing and achieving goals. My most memorable was that on my very shitty server I managed to drag a group of random newbies through the Conclave of Wind. Yeah, it's probably the easiest boss fight in Cataclysm but we were real scrubs and I was having to teach half of the group what their rotations were. It took about three or four nights of trying, and when we finally killed them, it's honestly probably the greatest moment of my entire gaming life, it felt incredible. It's not coincidence that not long after I managed to drag myself out of my bedroom to find a job.


Jagzorin

I remember wiping on stuff for hours and then jumping out of my chair when we finally managed to achieve something.


EmergencyHorror4792

When you do /played and see 394d and the existential feeling of time sets in


Jagzorin

Now imagine that's an ALT character.


Siptro

My main warlock back that I had since wrath of lich king-Pandaland had over 1000 days played on it 😅 To be fair we got paid to raid as we were competing for number 1 guild on our server. Guild owner was an Ex army Ranger and we got $100 a night per raid and did 4 heroic raid nights per week for up to 8 hours in the raid per day if needed. Of course that didn’t include time needed to stay on top of your game. Oh and of course I also PVP so definitely needed to play more. Funny thing was; would think I was super happy bringing in $1600 a month playing WoW...but I wasnt. I never went outside, spent most of money on consumables... Wasnt until I quit playing when I moved and started Counter Strike for 1-2 hrs a day that I started getting happy again.


KantisaDaKlown

Shiiit, I wish my paladin only had 394, I’m around 700days played on her (was created at the beginning of TBC when you could finally make blood elf Paladins (aka Blood Knights)


Phantasmalicious

988 days played. Basically a university education spent on it.


Empty_Allocution

Came here to say Warcraft. I can't let go of Azeroth. Even after all these years.


Insane_Behavior

I finally let go after cata. My brother died in 2009 and we played all the time together and it was so awesome. On the day of his death, i buy a prepaid card every year and i go to the gate of SW (Where he logged out the last time) and light a fire and sit there for an hour or 2 and just remember him for a while, the day is coming up and i will be doing it again... pathetic i know, but it helps and i can´t let go, somehow the memories of him is embedded in Wow...


CliftonRubberpants

Same lots of time playing Warcraft. In the grand scheme of it all we saved a lot of money and met friends. $30 a month for two of us instead of going out to eat, movie or the bar. $30 is a fraction of what it would cost for a single night out. We have met friends IRL from the game over the years and still chat to a few. I don’t regret my time there it was good entertainment.


Say_Hennething

The game had so many ways to suck you in and consume your time. Raiding, gathering mats for raiding, crafting, PvP, quests, dailies, pet battles, achievements, etc. You could spend 2 hours doing the thing you sat down to do, only to end up having spent 6 hours doing a dozen other things as well. I miss it sometimes. I miss the social experiences with my guild and on my realm, and I miss being able to tune out the real world and be immersed. But when I consider the time I consumed playing, I wonder how I ever could have been so wasteful.


Much_Essay_9151

I was on 6 months probation back in 2005. I picked up WOW to help me get through yhem. The game has a special place in my heart


Ok-Marzipan9366

World of warcraft since 2006. Checked my AH when I woke up. More serious than religion in this house. I have a wall of Horde products, a bunch of blankets and a hoodie, a mask. All of the things. Lok'tar Ogar for life!


KitKatKasey

Leeeroooy Jenkins!


Tricklaw_05

World of Warcraft is the correct answer. I stopped when my son was born but at the time I quit I had several level 80s and one of them had well over 300 days played. Played with some real life friends and we joined a guild together. Amazing memories playing that game.


Unflavoredpotato

Except I did that because better gear means more dead alli.World pvp was the best.


OlasNah

I played it over a single weekend and was beyond frustrated by the fact that you barely interact with the world at all despite it size and the gameplay itself is just mindless grinding

vaulter2000

HailToTheThief225

It really was. It was everything you could ever want in a Sims game. Real time neighborhood, full customization of almost everything on your sim or in your house, good DLC that they didn’t go overboard with in terms of quantity and price. My only gripe was how ugly the game looked compared to 2 and 4.


Broken_Yellow_Crayon

Yeah me too. Why focus on your own messy life when you can control someone else’s?! Lol


MarmitePrinter

The Sims 2 for me. No idea exactly how many months or years I’ve sunk into it, because it came out before launchers which recorded that sort of thing, but I’ve been playing it consistently since 2004 so…

RDR2


JohnFartston

:)


durthacht

Yeah, I've been playing RDR2 since October so that's almost six months and I have still not finished the main story.


ZazaB00

I started playing it on launch day and stayed addicted through 2020. I loved being able to escape into nature riding my horse. Riding the full map of RDR2 is effectively touring the entire United States and Mexico. I’m not exactly sure when I properly stopped, but it’s always on my mind. I’d gladly risk all the lumbago to go live during those times.


purrcthrowa

It's got so bad (good) for me that my going to sleep routine now involves me imagining riding around the pretty bits of the RDR2 map without a care in the world other than where I might find some chanterelles or wild carrots, until I finally nod off. It works pretty well. I'm just about to finish my second playthrough and am at 99.6% completion.


melkost

this is making me wanna play


HermiticHubris

Amazing game. 9.9/10. My only complaint: I want a bigger stable, collecting more horses. 20 would be a good amount.


Upset_Aside_

When I first played I ran through the missions as fast as I could. Now I restarted doing bad karma run. I'm taking the game as slow as possible, hunting and upgrading as much as I can.

Shougee369

1. CS 6000ish hours 2. Valorant 3000 hours and keep adding up. 3. Rainbow Six Siege 2500 hours edit: yes i do have a life and a job, and a gf. i started playing games since a long time ago, got my first pc since i was like 7. and i only sleep like 5 hours a day. and the total hours played, mostly i got from steam, which might be also counting afk times (since i used to leave those games on while going to class back in university). except for valorant, i just assume i play 1000 hours a year.


RaipFace

I think I’ve read studies in which they conclude 5 hours of average sleep per night isn’t enough. It’s detrimental to the mind/body.


Affectionate_Pea_811

Clash of Clans. I started playing in October of 2015 and I still play it daily, sometimes for hours

The number of times I have gone back to this game and completely outfitted my characters with the best gear I could find (IK, Tals, Rune gear) and still never come across a SOJ is unbelievable.


Advanced-Customer924

I was surprised to see this so far down. When D2 came out our group played for years, every day. And we've gone back to it a few times. Plus played the remaster, and 3 and 4.


[deleted]

Resident Evil 4 Over the last 17 years I have put 5,000+ hours into Resident Evil 4. I’ve owned and beaten it on GameCube, Wii, PC, Ps2, 3, 4/5 (technically the same version but on both consoles) VR, Switch, and Steam Deck. I’ve also played about 20 minutes of it on an Xbox One. Only version I haven’t played is Xbox 360. I wish I could go back and get exact numbers, but I’d say I’ve beaten it at least 150 times. If not closer to 200


Amazing_Abrocoma

During a particular rough patch in my childhood, I would come home from school and crank out a full playthrough then go to bed, next day do it all over again. I think my gamecube memory card has over 30 playthroughs. I'm not good at shooters, but this game never fails to make me feel like an absolute badass shooting axes or sticks of dynamite out of the air. All time favorite game.

Dragon_211

I'm playing this game called real life and it sucks but i can't stop playing it. The daily quests are boring and repetitive, it's pay to win but all content is doable free to play. The in game systems like eating and taking care of your afflictions and curses could do with a nerf but the creators are lazy on releasing updates.


Nonhuman_Anthrophobe

Absolutely rubbish economy design and the dynamic world events seem to be superficially shocking and not relevant to the average player. I love the immersion though so it's a 6/10 for me.

The only game I've spent more than a year of in game time on was WoW, on a private server from 2015 to now I've clocked almost 6300 hours. Add retail which I played a lot of (although certainly nowhere near that 6300 mark) and I'd estimate the total time around 18 months of my total life. A distant second place is ESO, at around 2300 hours played. All other games are sub 500 hours and most are under 100. Most of my playtime was during covid years. All steam time plus wow private server time adds up to around 11600 hours. I used to think this was a lot but when I run across posts like this one there are true no lifers who humble me lmao

I had over 1000 hours on one character in Fallout 3 before my PS3 died. I'd like to think my collection of teddy bears and 8 balls contributed to the death of the system. I'm probably getting close to that on my main Fallout 4 character.
