3000+ hours in World of Warcraft. ~1000 hours into Counter-Strike: Source. ~700 hours in Rocket League. ~300 hours in Dark Souls 3. ~200 hours in Monster Hunter World.

Everything else I normally just beat and never play again so a variety of games between 10-40 hours.

Looks like 365 is the most I have for anything on Steam. That's for Street Fighter 5 and the SF5 Beta. Dark Souls 1, Dragon Age Origins, GTA4 (+ the DLC's), Ultra SF4, and the Witcher 3 are all showing just under 200 hours each. I have a pile of games around 150 hours.

I do wish there was some way to track games from the past, though. The amount of time I put in Mario Kart 64, Tekken 3, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 would have to be well into the thousands. I played MK64 nearly every single day for multiple years.

More recently I've put in a boatload of time into Destiny 1 and 2. Probably 200'ish hours each if not more.

Not a big gamer, but over 100 hours in Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Origins. Maybe 70 in Zelda: BOTW

I'm at 3,000 hours of SWTOR, but that's only after I started using Origin to manage the client. I ran it for a couple years without doing that so that time wasn't tracked. I'm at 1,807 in Mass Effect 3. Many hours of that were multiplayer or spent testing various texture mods I've made for it. I have 146 listed for ME2, but again I registered it with Origin only a couple years ago. I ran that game many, many times via Steam which I don't have numbers for. I've completed it 100% 22 times which takes about 40 hours to do so you can do the math on that. I've got 400 hours or so in Andromeda. For some reason it shows 0 hours for all the Battlefield games except 4, which I have about 55 hours in.

Did two tour of duties in WoW and racked up huge hours, Starcraft and Diablo are up there, as are the mass effect trilogy.

Civ V would be would be up there too.

Ascension on iPhone is probably up there too.

Unreal Tournament 2004 4000+ hours when it was being counted by Xfire. The best gaming years of my life were with UT2k4.

I never ran that with anything that counted the time. I played a ton of CoD4 back in the day as well. I wouldn't at all be surprised if some day I find out I had well over 3,000 hours in each of those games.

Starcraft: Brood War by far. Those UMS games consumed my junior high/high school life.

Path of Exile. 2-3k and still enjoy it.

Diablo 2 and CS Source 1.6 would be my other contenders.

My wife and I have been playing WoW for like 12 years now. I'll have to login to it and see how many hours of "no spouse aggro" we've logged so far.

Neverwinter Nights. The bioware RPG from 2002. Bought it on release and have had it on every computer since, and have well over 1000 hours (unknown exactly since it doesn't track, probably thousands) replaying the first party adventures many times over and most of the top community modules as well. It's the game that came closest to emulating the PnP D&D experience for me.

Quake 3 Arena back when it released on a CD. Played it nearly everyday for 4 or 5 years and eventually joined a clan. Fun times.

More recent is Assassin's Creed Odyssey at 376 hours according to Steam. It's one of the best games in recent years.

FFXI back in the day. I never logged off and my in-game counter was at around 2600 days. That with out even touching the game for the past 6 or 7 years.

I discovered Hack (now called NetHack) way back in the mid-1980s. Found it on a Tandem computer at a company I worked for. Still play it, and it is still being actively developed. Diablo was patterned off of this game. How many hours? At least 500 every year since I found it. It is nearly unbeatable - unless you cheat. Source code available, so you can go diving into the code if you want. It's known as a Rouge-Type game. Single player, turn based. Each level is always randomly generated, no two games are ever alike. In 35 years, I've only beaten it a handful of times. An "average" game takes like 20K to 80K moves to complete!

Fallout 3. Roughly 15,000 hours since Day 1 release. I'd guess a good 600 hours was put into modding- both installing and creating mods for my personal use.

There were times I'd binge game in excess of 14 hours, taking hourly breaks to stretch, hit the bathroon and get water or a beer. Upwards of 30 hours during weekends would be devoted to the game unless the GF wanted to do something.

I probably have the most in Civ IV, but that was never counted... nor was Civ II, RCTW:ET, or TFC

From Steam ones, I have 1.8k on TF2, about 1k 7 Day to Die (while it was still fun), also 1k in They are Billions, right now getting hours up with Path of Exile, but not so thrilled with this genre, more that I do not have anything else capturing my attention.

Going way back, untold hours on the earlier Pokemon games.

Steam says 131 hours on Skyrim. That's not counting consoles.
166 hours of Fire Pro Wrestling World.
Nearly 70 hours of Civ V
Over 120 hours for Trails in the Sky (all 3 chapters).
I'm sure games like Chrono Trigger, Sonic Adventure 2, or Knights of the Old Republic would exceed 50 hours if one tallied up multiple versions.

I got like probably 500 between and the trails games. That being 8 games deep and waiting for the trails of steel game that hopefully comes out this year.

I have a lot of time in Guild Wars 2, it's even more when you realize that I've barely touched it in the past 2 years:

1585774621083.png


I'd say a minimum of 60% of that time was spend doing extreme crafting (which is unattended) - like refining a few hundred thousand ores at a time - I used to craft and sell 2000-6000 rare great swords per day.
I stopped doing it and mostly stopped playing after someone else found a way to sell them at below the market cost of raw materials.

The two possibilities:
1. Someone has a massive bot army farming raw metal and wood and tier 5 material (possible, not super likely)
2. I believe someone is using these items to launder farmed/stolen/illicit gold. It's the only way a consistent loss at current volumes makes any sense.

logged the most time playing Mass Effect 2. However, the game client shows only 354 hrs but I think that's because there was a problem (twice) with my account and the DLC so EA removed my original purchase and upped me to the Deluxe version (that was late last year I think) and the hours must have reset to zero? So no way to know the total hours but I've played ME2 since it came out in 2010 and it's my go-to game over all other games to this day so let's just say lots and lots of hours :barefoot:

That’s not sad. My buddy had 5 years play time before he quit. Think about that. That’s about 43,000 hours. He destroyed his marriage because of it.
Man, I'm glad there isn't a command (or is there?) for an account-wide /played. I know I'm in the five year bracket for sure. During WotLK I was logging 60h a week. TBC was no better. No ruined marriages, but I was living a life of celibacy. XD

3200+ hrs on TF2 in seven years. None of it idling or trading. No, I'm not proud. Yes, I have many, many hats. :p

Seven more years, another 3000 hrs.

If I'm still playing this damn game in 2028, some one's gotta put me out of my misery, Cochise-style like One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.
