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.

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

Over time: probably Contra on the NES, Tetris and Bionic Commando on the GameBoy, Operation Wolf and Sinistar in the arcade. DOOM, Duke3d, and XEvil on the PC. CS 1.6 and CS:S in college. The Gears series on the 360.

Then I had a decade or so gaming drought. More recently: Batsugun, Ketsui (Deathtiny and Death Label), Danmaku Unlimited 3, and Battlefield 2042.

[–] MoonMoon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

The Total War series, I have 300+ hours on Shogun 2, Rome 2, Empire, and Warhammer 2 each. Almost 100+ on most others. Probably have 1000+ hours on League of Legends too.

[–] Konraddo@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

MMO wise, it has to be World of Warcraft. Played it nonstop when I was young.

2nd place is Oxygen Not Included.

[–] SweatyFireBalls@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I quit a couple years ago for good, but my main account on RuneScape was created in classic as a kid. I had about a year and a half of PLAY time on the account, mind you the vast majority of that was back when you had the hard 5 minute afk timer, so that was at least moderately active play. Then if you add my ironman account I have nearly 1/15th of my whole life logged into RuneScape. I don't regret it, my whole friend group as an adult stem from those friendships I made online during my young teen years. However, as a modern game as much as I have a place for it in my heart, I found I had more of a negative addictive relationship with it. Maybe I always did, but I didn't feel a negative mental effect at a young age.

I have over 1k hours in The Long Dark and 7 days to die. Around 500 in space engineers, darkest dungeon, binding of Isaac, enter the gungeon, grim dawn, and satisfactory. ~300 hours in ToME4 and Caves of qud each. That's just steam stuff though, there are a lot of games that I know are up there that aren't on steam.

I'm sure I have at least similar numbers to 500-1k if not much higher in Diablo 2-3, and I'm sure more than a few thousand in wow though I lost my og account after wotlk because I forgot the details when I quit so I'm really not sure.

I have over 1500 cumulative hours invested in No Man's Sky and Minecraft respectively. I am a casual gamer. I started playing Minecraft in 2012 and NMS in 2017.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months 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.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

Dayz, 3500hrs and still ticking.

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

[–] B312@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Terraria. I don’t know why but the progression in the game feels so damn addicting. Mods add onto it by alot too

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

Apex is from day 1 launch day.

[–] gunpachi@lemmings.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you still play apex these days ?

What do you think about the state of the game

Planetside 2, Arma 3, and X4 Foundations.

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago
[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months 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.

[–] Rato@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

R6: Siege at 1800, followed by Terraria at 1100. Terraria is the better game of the two.

[–] erin@social.sidh.bzh 2 points 7 months ago

Star Citizen (no joke, I have put more than 2000h in the Alpha...). But because some people may say Star Citizen is not a game (I'm not agree with that statement), the second game I have played the most is warframe (1500h)

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago
[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months 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.

[–] rollmagma@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Sigh... Rust

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Easily Fallout 4 or No Man's Sky

[–] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Warframe, by a big margin.

[–] Raab@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Old-school RuneScape, 12k hours, another 6k hours on rs3 pre-eoc. Over the course of 21 years.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It's either the Sims or Animal Crossing.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

[–] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Elden Ring and StarCraft2

[–] bundes_sheep@lemmy.one 2 points 7 months ago

Skyrim and Satisfactory.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

Craft the world, Valorant and AoE3

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

XCOM: War of the Chosen

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

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

If we're counting every Pokémon game as a single one, then that. Otherwise, probably Skyrim. I must have like 2000+ hours across all of its versions.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

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

[–] spleaque@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Probably Warcraft Rumble.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Sadly League of Legends, probably Skyrim next, Overwatch and Terraria

I also play FGO since the NA server released(7 years ago) but I don't play more than 20min daily

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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.

[–] TOModera@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months 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.
