I’ve been playing the Monster Hunter series since 2004 and have logged well over 10k hours.
This is unironically one of my favorite memes because it fits me SO WELL:
On Minecraft I have ~150 days playtime on PC, after switching to Prismlauncher (after some development drama) I have another ~22 days playtime. Along with my 1300 hours on switch it's a total of 234.5 DAYS looking at pixelated blocks in a children's game.that's not even including my time in PE edition from when I was little or the multiple years I spent in Lunar client which doesn't track playtime. In total it's probably WELL over a whole year of JUST Minecraft.
I ALSO have 9154 hours in other steam games and 1500 MORE in animal crossing. In total this is 16,000 hours, 670 days or
1.8 YEARS
I do also have minor autism.
edit: also 2-300 hours in oldschool RuneScape lol
EVE Online?
Man, I'm into Sword of Convalaria. I've finished it once, then twice, and am now on my third play.
Teals of Maj'Eyal. Nothing like a real fucking rouge like
subjective
Is it?
Also it's just a meme.
I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.
Forspoken is one of the only 9th generation games I'm actually interested in.
Terraria currently. Satisfactory and DRG before.
They said worst games, not best!
Garry's Mod back when spacebuild still existed. Fun stuff especially all the Stargate add-ons.
ITT: people listing good games they played a bunch.
The answer is clearly world of warcraft.
Having grown up on the MUDs and MMOs that release before WoW I think I was thankfully inoculated against its more gamified, addictive formula.
Did y'all hear about Rain World ?
Growing up playing osu! forever scarred my taste in music. Now I have a $300 SDVX controller at home and I need help
Also honorable mention for the 500+ hrs I have in Skyrim (with additional difficulty mods), Slay the Spire, Binding of Issac, ...
Dota 2. Almost 10k hours. I got matched against s4 and had to face him in the mid lane. I got wrecked and I uninstalled the game, that was a few years ago now. I figured if I just matched against one of the best players in the world then I actually completed dota and it's time to stop.
Payday 2
The factory must expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory..
The factory must grow
Good choice !
I should probably take a picture, but at least 1500 hours on Project Cars 2 on PS4 / 5.
Edit: I just looked and it's actually 2,897 hours.
At least you you can probably drive better than 3/4 of the tech bros at a track day now.
Haha I did volunteer at a track for a bit and they paid me in rally car lessons, driving one of their WRXs through the woods, which was a blast.
They were convinced I'd done it before because before they taught me how, I was already good at left foot braking and could smoothly heel-toe while shifting, but in reality I hadn't driven an IRL stick shift for more than a few hours at most. That's not to say I didn't make some silly mistakes though lol
Bought an FR-S recently and once I get some new tires on it, I'm gonna see how I do on a not-dirt track!
Anyway I've switched to PC now, if anyone wants to race...
I just spent 20 hours on the demo for the new game roadcraft. I'm just pushing dirt around in a tractor like I'm playing with Tonka trucks back when I was 5. I haven't really done anything interesting, just leveled dirt. Anyway, ill probably put in another 6 hours today after work.
Outer Worlds. Not exactly a bad game but fell just a tad short of being F:NV spiritual successor.
It's an amazing game. The sprat rescue...
Is this a personal spiritual successor, or is this there some thread connecting these two games that I'm missing?
They do both rule.
Both made by Obsidian
Modded minecraft isnt the worst ever
I started making games to make sure its not
One day I’ll get around to playing Nomifactory CE. I’ve somehow played the base one twice over the past five years.
I’ve been so alienated from friends playing the most popular game on the planet in multiplayer because I can’t play Vanilla for shit. Not since 1.2.5 probably.
I’ll play no Minecraft for two years and then immediately nolife a modpack for two months.
Good shit. The best value game I have ever bought, no question about it.
Factorio. Do i need to say more?
Why aren't you tending to your factory?
My factory is paused. I found Derail Valley Simulator, and have been absolutely loving driving trains
PlanetSide 2 for me, easily 8k hours into that game. Around 5k on my steam account alone.
So sad to see it's still slowly collapsing, but I've not been on since the AU servers shut down years ago and the hackers took over the Asia server.
Ah, I have fond memories of PS2. I slowly stopped playing when I started finding less and less coherent platoons working together. I'd join squads that were spread all over the map. It had so many fun things with it too, but somewhere along the way I started losing interest.
When I was in college it was WOW. I have soooo many hours in that game. But it also helped fix a lot of issues I had with social anxiety. I went from basically never interacting with people in that game to being elected to run a 60 person guild. I didn't even campaign they just nominated me for it when the previous GM left. It did a lot to help me feel like I could be normal. Then I got a job and a GF and didn't have time to play as much anymore.
These days it's Warframe but I don't have enough free time to really get into video games like I used to anymore.
It’s not a bad game but Rimworld is destroying my life right now.
Definitely mine too. It doesn’t even run faster than 1x.. which is sucky slow but my own fault for having too many livestock animals to support my ~60 pawns… (peaceful gets very out of control if you let it) but now I have an outpost mod and as soon as all my kids are adults, most of them are gone.
same
I should get tested or something.
That's more hours per week than I have to work.
But you can always do more. I have a childhood friend who, when some leagues were released, averaged about 14 hours per day for Path of Exile for two weeks straight. Like 180 hours playtime in two weeks.
Another friend of mine should be at about 8000 hours of Rocket League by now on his main account only. That's over the game's full lifespan though.
I had to ban myself from that game as I'd fall off the face of the earth for weeks at a time
Oxygen not included. I spent so much brain beating that game, then wanted to play more.
I keep going back to ONI to try and get into its endgame. But I quickly start getting kicked around in a back alley by the temperature stuff. Like trying to figure out colony-wide temperature control.
Spelunky 2
Honorable mentions Noita and The Binding of Isaac
(Thats about 3/3 of my life)
Rimworld, Vicky 2, Ck2, Hoi4, Eu4, Fallout 1 2 3 and New Vegas, Morrowind, Skyrim, and currently Vintage Story. My tastes are damned good profligates can you say the same?!
Edit: Also Total Warhammer.
I have the same list but Caves of Qud also sucked some life out of me. Damn good RPG though.
Currently on my 3rd run of FO4 after finishing my 3rd of Skyrim, with some NMS in between
I have the most hours in Warframe, but Factorio is on a different level. If you're anywhere on the spectrum, it is pure crack cocaine. The only reason I haven't bought the DLC is because I know it'll consume a month of my free time.
By the way, Warframe 1999's soundtrack fucking slaps.
A month? That is not enough :(
Space Age is totally worth it though
Can confirm. It's the only game I play at this point.
Finally got to Fulgora. I want that mech suit.
I'm currently avoiding fixing Gleba, so I'm making an Epic Mech Suit.
Ignore the expansion and just free base Space Exploration
There was a shitty f2p MMO called GunZ online once upon a time. It was so badly programmed that glitches literally became the primary gameplay loop.
I loved it. For those few that could get into it, it was a unique heaven of fps and fighting game that filled a void an over caffeinated teen with nothing but hyper focus and time didn't know they had.
Also just ridiculously horny people.
Also just ridiculously horny people.
So, average MMO player
Don't call GunZ shitty! I'll double butterfly your face, or something. It's been a while.
Fuuuuuuck dude haven't thought about that game in a decade
I remember that, Nexon?
<Insert any Zachtronics game here>
love Zachtronics games. Got the solitaire collection on Mobile. One of the few games I play on my phone.
I have been collecting shinies in Pokémon Scarlet (140 so far) but my cartridge just died so now I’m beating PLA.
I'm split between Factorio and Dwarf Fortress.
Give Songs of Syx a try. One guy, who developed the game in a shed in Poland so he could get away from his family. You can try the "demo" which is the full game just one version behind. Once he gets tired of developing it he said he'll make it open source. Think dwarf fortress but you're capable of having a population of thousands. Oh, and nevermind the race riots or cannibalism.
I went ahead and grabbed the demo and I will give a try, thanks for the info!
Eve online took a lot from me , but it gave back a lot more .. i think everyone who plays it is on the spectrum, no other explanation tbh
cookie clicker
fucking useless, highly addictive
Have you tried Stimulation?
my phones version is about as old as my cousin lol
Quest 64 is my favorite "bad" game. It was a meme for like a week around here, I miss those days.
As a kid I was so thirsty for RPGs without fully realising it that I made way too much of an attempt to like Quest.
I kind of miss when No Man's Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn't have now. It's become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.
Oh don’t worry it still is that
It has an empty universe mode in one of the updates
Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts and Sword of the Stars 2.
part of Sword of the stars 2 is even now it sometimes gets so laggy that you can't finish a game. You just at some point declare that you've snowballed enough and can't be beat anymore.
Hundreds of hours.
Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts is at least getting better now that the devs have abandoned it and modders are taking over.
This one particular rp server on San Andreas Multiplayer
I will not stand for this Robot Unicorn Attack slander.
sits carefully
...that's better.
That game and one scene from Scrubs revived Erasure's synth pop briefly in the 2000s
🎵And live in harmony harmony oh Lord!🎵
There was this spreadsheet masquerading as a space conquest 4X game called Stars!
I just looked this up and I’m definitely gonna try it out.
Euro truck simulator 2. I have already spent ~200 hours in that game. Personally I like it because of the multiplayer mod and there you can see all kinds of drivers over there... Ngh
Anyways, I recently bought 4 map DLCs for the game, I'm sure that will make me sink less time in that pit (/s)
Deep Rock Galactic is a very good game that doesn't deserve this slander (except Season 3 which has given me actual nightmares)
Me being in love with Hellgate: London, Fate (WildTangent), and Warframe be like
Hellgate London was such fun, unique hybrid twist on ARPG and looter shooter, I was sad when I heard it was shutdown.
I woulda played it more if I had known it was about to be shutdown. There were some crash bugs and sudden difficulty spikes that made me quit, thinking Id come back to it later. That later never happened.
Yeah it's a shame the official multiplayer didn't last long. There's some fan projects with that but none of them scratched the same itch for me. There were a few patches for the game and they're still available, but the difficulty spikes are still there, it gets grindy in the last couple sections of the game.
I remember when I stumbled into the serious world of 100% Orange Juice players on steam/twitch
Oh man that games so fun, haven't played it in an while tho
Star Breaker forever
Fuck, there's enough games that I got addicted to in this thread that I'm scared I've got the tism
Popular games are popular because they appeal to a wide audience. Very few games would be able to survive solely on an autistic playerbase.
But also, you don't have anything to be afraid of. You are who you are, a diagnosis wouldn't change anything about you. It would only give you access to more tools to cope with things you're bad at (assuming you don't live anywhere where a diagnosis would be used against you).
My last words will be “Just one… more… turn”
Followed by Ghandi cackling as he unleashes a nuke on your Civ.
Space Station 13 on the BYOND client. Someone has a space station 14 play test available on steam right now and I'm desperately trying not to get into it
Oh yeah, SS14 has finally made the game playable with high ping... anddddd has therefore I've put like 300 hours into it.
Its really one of the few games that seems to avoid a community of "meta-gaming" or "instrumental play" which sucks all the fun out of a lot of games with huge roleplay potential.
What's wrong with Rust?
I mean, when you remove the toxicity, it's a great single-player game.
Ignore the thousands of hours I have in the game.
When I don't know what to do or watch, i like to watch some rust videos. I love that game. The idea, the execution, the building, the insanity of it. The only downside is that i can't stand the average rust player. Over all these years i played 12 hours of rust. It's the only game i own that i play once a year and immediately uninstall after every session.
World of Tanks, which is pretty funny considering the image.
Currently playing World of Warships. I play in 1-3 month stints and don't touch it for months at a time. I always enjoy coming back to it because they just keep adding more stuff.
"Worst". Idk, Satisfactory is pretty great.
Everything Hidetake Miyazaki makes. It's basically the same game, but it's spread across 7 games. (Well I guess technically 6 since he didn't direct DS2).
These are the worst games when it comes to sucking up my time and energy. The games themselves are actually bomb ASF.
I have over 2,000 hours in terraria and way more in minecraft. Really anything with good building or creative features is going to hook me for quite a while.
Isn't the definitive answer Bubsy 3d?
The original Bubsy is up there, too.
I don't think I've ever busted as much ass to beat a game as a child as I did with Bubsy. Maaaaybe getting the "Happy End" in Bubble Bobble, but of course that's a friendship effort. Thanks, Scott, for helping me achieve that all those years ago.
It’s not a phenomenal game, but it did look and sound pretty nice.
Or Jazz Jackrabbit for all the other furries born in the 70s to 80s
...wait, do I need to get diagnosed?
Depends if you have the executive function that permits such ambition.
If you don't, yes. It you aren't sure, try your best. It you do, I am pretty sure you won't, and that should be your guiding star to go.
me with 100 hours in the HASTE broken worlds demo
JUST CUZ I GRINDED SMOKEYS FOR A CAT HEADBAND FOR 400 HOURS AND NEVER GOT ONE AND HAD TO BUY IT FOR MYSELF WITH MY DEAD BRANCH PROCEEDS IN RAGNAROK IN LIKE 2003 DOESNT MEAN I’M
oh
CK2
Nuby's Number Factory 🙈
Thank you for introducing me to my newest obsession
You're welcome. Just don't let the sun explode. :)
So I'm not autistic and these aren't necessarily bad games, but for my partner this is definitely Dragon Age. She has put an insane number of hours into the first 3 games. She knew The Veilguard was going to be bad. She KNEW, she told me multiple times even the second before she told me she bought the game. She got 3/4 of the way through before having a crying, screaming meltdown over how bad it was.
