TF2, Diablo II, and Ragnarok Online. 1k-2k+ hours each.

I'm not sure if it's wow or League.

I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.

As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.

Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.

[–] fishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ayy which MH is your favorite? Which one brought you into the series? I'm also a huge monster hunter fan, Generations Ultimate is one of my favorite games of all time.

No hard numbers here, but probably Medieval 2: Total War.

Every few months I get the urge to play and log more hours doing a few campaigns.

[–] Disquietus@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Skyrim over 2000 hours easily, 400 some into Assassins Creed Odyssey and Ghost Recon Wildlands; I have no idea how many I put into Vindictus, which is an MMORPG I played for more than a decade. For phone games I’ve probably put the most time into the Kingdom Rush series, best TD out there.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Planetside 2, Arma 3, and X4 Foundations.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

That's a though one... there are more games in my library that I haven't played than ones I did.

Maybe Fallout or Neverwinter Nights. Or Silent Storm.

Yes, I'm old. And waiting for my retirement to play all of those I haven't tried yet.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 day ago

Probably 2048 which is just a fidgeting toy for me.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 1 day ago

KSP. I colonized almost the entire system on chemical rockets alone with bases and ISRU fuel depots orbiting the smaller moons (I'd have to go to each base, do some mining, and refill the orbiting tanker station before every long mission so it's ready when I got there). I'm not at my PC but last I checked it was a couple thousand hours.

Top 3:

Escape from Tarkov: 14600h

Elite Dangerous: 3600h

The Division 2: 3200h

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rocket League, by far. 1500 hours or so.

[–] Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Can't say that without saying your rank.

Easily Fallout 4 or No Man's Sky

[–] Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Old School RuneScape, Gran Turismo 5 & 7, The Crew 1, 2 & Motorfest and I think Midtown Madness 1 & 2 are also high on my list of most played games.

[–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The most that I have proof of is Europa Universalis IV at a little over 1k hours, but I wouldn't be surprised if my time on Guitar Hero 3 in high school surpassed that by quite a bit. I played a lot of Guitar Hero in high school...

[–] Grangle1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pokemon, either Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Violet, I would have to look at the Switch itself to compare, but last I looked at either one it was around 400-something hours. Shiny hunting can be a surprisingly cozy time-waster, lol.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

steam says I played Fallout 4 for 436 hours, but that seems very high. not sure if that count is accurate.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Everquest by far. Then League. Then Diablo 2. I dont think theres any game that comes close to the total unrecorded amount of hours those 3 games have.

[–] iamdisillusioned@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Stardew Valley and Core Keeper ;)

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

WoW, CS 1.6, Warframe, and ARK

I think something like 5k hours into Warframe, 15 years into WoW (at least 2 of my characters have 1+ year of playtime--so 17k hours just on those 2; and I max-leveled every class of character up until Battle for Azeroth) and so far, 2 years into ARK. Just over 3.5k hours of playtime between ASE and ASA.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

World of Warcraft is the absolute winner in my case. I have no idea on actual numbers, given 99% of my time was in private servers, with a very brief stint on official. Only one of those private servers is still around, with my character from Warlords of Draenor times still there.

Outside that, probably Skyrim (many hours playing pirate versions, modding it with more lethal combat, more lore-friendly armors and "actual" civil war, among other things). I wonder how many hours I've spent on Dwarf Fortress, as I've only played the freeware version, starting with 0.34, before trees had height.

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

According to Steam the top 3 are:

  1. Oxygen not included
  2. Civilization 5
  3. Factorio

But that of course does not include the games not running from Steam and pre-Steam games. So World of Warcraft is somewhere in there too. And the final Top 1 must be Transport Tycoon Deluxe (even if you don't include OpenTTD).

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I have few hundred hours in Minecraft. And probably something like 180h in Witcher 3 GOTY. Recently I 100% Yakuza 5 with 120h on the counter, and it was (mostly) fun, because game is packed with many different minigames, so it wasn't repetetive.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

In no particular order:

  • Ragnarok online
  • Darkspace
  • Monster hunter (multiple games)
  • Dj max (multiple games)
  • Garry's Mod
  • Aliens VS predators 2 (1998)
  • Halo
  • Warframe Phantasy star online (and 2) Path of Exile Morrowind probably.

Guild Wars 2 has been my theme park MMORPG of choice on and off for the last 12 years, with >2500h. I have also spent ~1000h on Elite Dangerous.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Probably counterstrike back in the day, possibly battlefield 2 including the Project Reality mod. That was back when gametime wasn't really tracked and I had a lot more spare time Possibly WoW, but I only played for a couple of years or less and for a few hours a day at most.

Currently my highest is Forza Horison 5 with like 1200 hours. Have a few others with 500+ hours although a few are inflated at least 100+ hours because the game locked up on closing and counted as played for several days multiple times.

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Probably still World of Warcraft. When I quite around 2010, I had close to 700 days /played time on my main, and another 400 days between various alts.

[–] slugworth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Definitely WoW for me back in the day too, in the 400 day range across my main and alts. These days No Man’s Sky in the 400 hour category. Things change when you become a parent, but I still try to find time to play games.

Hang on. WoW came out in 2004. So in 6 years you played 3 years in-game? 12 hours a day, every single day for 6 solid years? Were you on disability? Because after sleeping, that doesn't leave much time for work or school.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

2 of those years were after I finished school and was just living rent free at home and gaming full time. During that time it was easly more then 12h a day. Though, a lot of that was just being logged in and idle while chatting on teamspeak or doing administrative work for the guild (we ran our own webserver out of a friends house for our forum/dkp system, etc). That's how I learned programming.

There was also some account sharing, which was literally required to get to the top of the vanialla PvP ranking. Games were built different back then.

Stardew Valley, Skyrim, and Halo 3 probably top my list. I dumped like 400 hours into Stardew during Covid lockdowns and a few hundred more after

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

For me it has to be either the binding of isaac or noita. It's hard to say since i played tboi on so many devices before i got a PC.

Dota 2 around 3500 hours. Rust 1100 hours. Monster Hunter World 400 hours. Binding of Isaac 350 hours.

Persona 5 Royal

150 hrs and I'm almost done with it

[–] TOModera@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Final Fantasy 6, because I have played through it on SNES, PS1, Rom, then SNES again.... oh, and there's 500 hours in Slay The Spire. Maybe also Civ 3.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Civ all games and Apex legends with like 6k or more hours.

Apex is from day 1 launch day.

World of Warcraft, EverQuest, and No man’s Sky

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I would love to know for sure. I've put hundreds of hours into Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy X, Morrowind, and probably Halo: Reach too.

XCOM: War of the Chosen

Overwatch (gave up on blizzard a couple of years ago though)

[–] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Elden Ring and StarCraft2
