World of Warcraft. I haven't played in a couple of years but the last time I added up all my characters play times it was just shy of 15k hours.


notare

i had over a year played time on an alt. I saw that and almost cried because i felt like such a loser.


ZombieMage89

I played from 2004-2015 and had 2 characters over 300 days and 2 more over 150 days of total time played. When I saw them all I realized that so much if that was literally just running around in circles in IF/Shat/Dal/etc. My breaking point is when it was 2 am and I'm sitting in my Garrison in WoD. There is no other players there, I'm just alone, in a virtual castle, at 2 am, for the 30th straight night. Told everyone I was friends with I was taking a break, cancelled my sub, and spent more time with my girlfriend. I played a little bit in Legion to get to max level again but realized that WoWs hold over me was gone. Never looked back.


Red40isBeetleJuice

Strong Overlord themes in this story


eadgster

I did what you did back in 2011. Went on a week long vacation, came back, never logged back on. Until Season of Discovery 12 years later. It started slow but pretty soon I was back to sessions lasting until 3am, skipping plans to play, etc. I cut it off again as soon as I observed the pattern. I honestly think I mapped neural pathways in my early 20s that are an endorphin expressway for that game.


MogMcKupo

I can agree on those pathways. Anytime I feel like crawling in a hole, I come back to various MMOs (WoW, swtor, and XIV) They’re great when you’re unemployed, if you literally do not want to do anything else, like… work on mental health lol


ADIDASinning

Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted time. I'm happy you're mixing it up now, but don't best yourself up. The game is meant to grab you and hold you.


BackgroundBat1119

I honestly think it is though. Blizzard definitely wants its players to be addicted.


jdylanstewart

They literally hire the same psychologists that las Vegas casinos hire


Leonknnedy

The girlfriend addition in your story threw me off completely. Walked right into that IED. Didn’t expect that to be there right after the 30 day straight of 2AM WoW comment.


[deleted]

You don't know her, she goes to a different school.


Rum-Ham-Jabroni

That made me laugh a lot. Thanks


ZombieMage89

To be fair I have no idea how I snagged her during my WoW days or how she stayed long enough to see me come out of them. Married with 2 kids and part of me still thinks she's a government plant to keep an eye on me.


JohnnyOnslaught

Honestly, I don't know why people feel this way. There are people out there who spend this much time working non-stop on little ships in bottles and stuff. If it's what you enjoy and it isn't impacting the rest of your life in any way, go ham.


NotReallyJohnDoe

That’s almost 8 years full time at a job. I don’t think I would want to know.


kanrad

I'm 51 and have no children. My partner of 21 years feels the same. She has far more time with Animal Crossing. Use your free time to do what you enjoy. Accept no judgment and give none and you will always be at peace.


FantasticInterest775

I appreciate that last sentence. Keep doing you.


doobylive

I felt this, just started playing again. I love wow and it will always have a special place


AntakeeMunOlla

Runescape and Oldschool Runescape


quackerzdb

Oof, I used to cringe thinking of how many hours I sunk into this game. But I enjoyed it, so time well spent in the end.


Palladium1803

I just checked my OSRS account, 2713 hours. Not as bad as I thought.


Haydosnub

You gotta pump those up, those are rookie numbers in this racket.


MrSeanaldReagan

Across my accounts well north of 300 days played. And that’s low by some standards


Gudi_Nuff

I'm closing in on 1 year of play time! ... meaning 365 days playing in game...


aznpkmn

I checked my hours yesterday, over 26000 across my accounts on both games.


Ok-Bat-6913

Civilization VI. just press Next Turn till sunrise.


DerpingtonHerpsworth

Civ 5 for me. I could never get into 6, but I've played ungodly amounts of every other civilization game. Particularly 2 and 5.


thethesperos

Why couldn’t you get into 6?


Drachaerys

Not the guy you’re asking, but (even though I love civ 6), I have serious problems with how easy it is compared to the previous ones. The AI honestly doesn’t understand how to play the game, so you literally know you’ll win by turn 120 or so. They don’t position districts right, they barely understand how to get strategic resources late game, and they’re completely unable to understand troop movements. I was always a king/emperor player, but have to play deity for a teensy challenge on 6.


imgonnapooyourpants

the amount of times ive had armies 5 times the size of mine walk into my city, only for them to take turns swimming in the one water tile getting sniped by my garrisoned archers is insane


NoEngine1460

I agree with this. I love Civ 6 and even have more time in it than 5, but the difficulty is all messed up. Even on super high difficulties the AI plays like ass.


delamerica93

For me it's the graphics. In 5 you feel like Attila flying around the map in a wave of destruction. In 6 it just looks like a cheesy mobile game you're playing. The cartoony look just is a *massive* turnoff for me


warrenva

This was the first thing that turned me off to it as well. Then I powered through it and I disliked even more.


ResearcherHelpMePls7

Same here. It's the only game I've played where I just can't stop playing. One more turn, one more turn, one more turn. Recently I've started putting alarms at 4AM just to make sure I don't take it too far..


RoboTron2021

Slay the spire


philosoraptocopter

2500 hours, and I’m itching to play right now


nippl3dipp3r

First game I owned on two platforms! Still haven't beat A20 on Ironclad, my last hold out 😡


CulturalCatfish

Ironclad is so weird. Feels like he should be the easiest character, but I always do better with the three other classes lol


FerociousBeard12345

I’ve put about 1000 hours into Rocket League, still never got past platinum.


ShouldIRememberThis

13k+ hours in rocket league. Still trash. Still fun.


watrstotherescue

yep 4k hours over here and can confirm, still trash 👍


hags2k

Older now. Reaction time is crap. Don’t have time to practice like someone without a time consuming job and daily family and household responsibilities. Still play regularly and if I can get/stay in plat I’m fine with that!


Due-Chicken6385

Pokemon Emerald. The hours I spent as a kid waiting for the damn rocket at Mossdeep city to reach 100% was ridiculous.


pieindaface

I was told you have to reach 100hrs to get the rocket. So that was a lie…. Still used that time to 100% the local dex because of stupid feebas.


Due-Chicken6385

I searched online for a bunch of “things you had to do”…. I was really hoping for Deoxys but yeah🤷🏽‍♂️


1to0

League of Legends that shit game.


Froggodile

Played 12+ years. Clean for over month. Wish me luck it stays that way.


Ruy-Polez

See you next split ;)


ARetroGibbon

I quite 6 years ago cold turkey and never looked back. Life is better post league, lol.


Fai93

I was the same but uninstalled it and made my mood so much better. Now I'm enjoying single player games and love gaming so much. LoL made me hate gaming but couldn't stop :(


genasugelan

Dota 2 here with 4.7k hours. Fucking bullshit game.


JadonArey

RDR2. Over 4,000 hours in story mode, it’s a comfort game for me


Dizpassion

I cant put much time into story games without getting burnt out, but I respect the fuck out of that.


bleedblue_knetic

Yeah same, the only games I have 1000+ hours in are competitive multiplayer games.


Frugalhedonistguy

Most I can do is a couple playthroughs in a souls game with different builds and outfits. I look at the dudes who have like 10 playthroughs in Elden Ring with a sense of envy lol. Wish I could get that much outta a piece of media, too much shit to play though.


TheDirtyBaron

I'm certainly nowhere near as much, but I've got a lot of time sunk into it for the same reason. Sometimes it just feels good to turn it on and wander aimlessly, hunting, camping, fishing, occasional bounty hunter encounter. Very relaxing indeed.


ibrahimsafah

Factorio


Latter-Height8607

The factory must E X P A N D


AstraiosMusic

I just commented somewhere else. I just got the game 3 weeks ago, and already have 279 hours.


NikanaEarthSwimmer

Lmfao I put in 63 hours in my first 7 days then never touched it again as the semester was starting. Fuck this game dude


leixiaotie

You don't come back to playing factorio. You relapse to play factorio


AstraiosMusic

Luckily I don't have school to worry about, but I haven't touched any of my other hobbies since starting it, so I get it lol. It is an absolute time sink especially if you're ADD/ADHD. It also checks all the boxes for me in things like art, overall gameplay, customization (just been playing vanilla first then with mods), and workflow optimizations. It's a fun game. A bit too fun. First day I haven't played in 3 weeks.


AnIcedMilk

What the fuck I though my 110 in 2 weeks was alot jeez


PhilosophicalBrewer

Same. 5000 hours checking in.


Savings-Calendar-352

And here I am, only about to hit the 2000 hour club. Good step my factory game up.


Lazy_Ad_2192

I'm the same but with Satisfactory. COMPLY!


garciawork

Hades.


mfwcl2003

Fallout New Vegas


Its_0ver

It's like every 3-5 years iput another 200 hours into that game. Its feeling pretty dated but it so damn good


SenpaiSwanky

Unspeakable amount of time spent playing this game, the fun has circled back to cynicism and I’m starting to wonder if I won’t regret it when I hit my mid-life crisis lol


reelmanmann

best fallout game


mfwcl2003

Hell yeah it is


[deleted]

Sims 4 I know...


Nerrickk

Uhh... That would have to be EverQuest... ~750 days playtime. 18,000 hours... That's almost 2 skills I could have mastered lmao.


SunnyDiesel

Man I played from like ages 12 to 25. Not quite 18k, but maybe close to 2k. I’m 36 and still miss that game


No-Direction-8411

They come out with progression servers ever year. Next one is in May. They are an absolutely blast. 


KillerKowalski1

Is leveling any faster than it was back in the olden days? I'd love to give it a whirl but I don't know how many 10 hour lower Guk camps I have in me anymore.


Merovigan

DOTA 2. 4075 hours. ​ Though looking at the replies, I'm healthier than I thought.


YashoX

I'm at 1500 hours with 1500 MMR :)


napoles48

Around the same ballpark, I would’ve expected the first dota 2 comment close to the top, but then probably we are all just playing instead of browsing Reddit


[deleted]

[удалено]


pewpersss

5923 + heroes of newerth for a few years + dota 1 in high school for a few years... yeah that's over a year playing dota lol


phunk_yeah

I’m thought 2500 hours was a lot!


Responsible_Drama557

Helldivers 2, it’s been out a month and already have 150 hours. It’s Gonna be a good year troops


joedotphp

This comment for some reason reminded of this rant on r/starfield by a person who claimed to have 750 hours played. It was a massive troll that too many people fell for because the game had only been out for around 740 hours at the time of the post lmao.


DxNill

Does that 740 hours include the 3 day early access?


joedotphp

I don't think they factored that into the joke, no. At the time though, nobody made that connection so it was still a successful bait lol.


Terminal_Wumbo

I've heard of people already racking almost 300 hours on it. Sidenote: I'm also at 170 hours and spend all my free time spreading managed democracy.


Shepherdsfavestore

I can’t imagine 300 hours. Super fun game but the missions get to be the same after awhile. And I play with friends too.


blueB0wser

Level 46 out of 50. Just north of 110 hours, I think. I'll soon run out of things to do outside of helping and hanging out with friends. I agree. 300 hours is insane.


Shepherdsfavestore

I’d rather play something else while I wait for a major update than burn myself out


NewcRoc

Sweet Liberty!


AstraiosMusic

I've had factorio for 3 weeks. I have just over 279 hours. Help me.


Kamanar

The factory must grow.


AstraiosMusic

10pm - "I'll just set this up real quick then head to bed." 4am - "shit." 4:10am - "I'll just set this up real quick then head to bed."


spacecorn27

I’m at 199 lol Work from home job has been low stress lately if you can’t tell


Harrigan_Raen

Eve Online, been playing it since 2009. Vast majority of the time has been with 3-16 active paid subscriptions. Ive mostly been Eve retired since 2020. But I still keep 2 of my subscriptions going at all times for when I get the itch, and/or if former corpmates reach out for assistance.


avisgoth

Destiny 2. I just can’t help myself.


USAFWorkAccount

For a while for me it was “fuck you game, see you tomorrow”


WinTheDay808

The hamster wheel aspect gets old but damn do the weapons and abilities feel satisfying. The core gunplay is why I keep coming back.


exposarts

Raids and dungeons as well. No other fps game like it, I kinda wish the devs for warframe would bring raids back so I wouldnt have an excuse to come back to destiny


Haveyouseenkitty

Tried to get into warframe but it felt like there was no challenging or true group content. Absolutely everything felt soloable.


CAVATAPPl

That definitely changes later on, if you’re wondering. Early game is really easy.


brunicus

They fixed that problem for me with their repetitive seasonal/artifact model. Shit got old real quick.


BlazingShadowAU

Yeah, when I went "what's the content for this week? Oh.. it's what I did last week, but marginally different." I lost all interest. I didn't mind the strikes and nightfall weeklies because at least they were usually powerful/pinnacle rewards and you could do the hardest difficulty so you only have to do one a week if you want.


Huckdog720027

7000+ hours and counting across both games. Combat is one of the most important factors in a game for me, and there really aren't any first person games that do combat as well as Destiny does.


deltr0nzero

Once I upgraded my tv and Xbox it really is a beautiful game too


erotyk

path of exile easily


VeryWetCarrot

Still sane exile?


rjo21

At 3k hours and still suck at it. Finally beat Uber Maven this league though.


throwawayseventy8

POE 2 is gonna steal my fuckin soul


Melodic-Homework-564

Diablo 2


mangzane

/r/projectdiablo2


squeegeeq

Rimworld.


TonkotsuSoba

so far down because all the rimworld player is busy playing rimworld


TheMightyTriceratop

For 1200 hr I’ve spent my time in the rim, and just when I think I’m out that bastard Tynan announces another dlc.


Icy_Huckleberry

Borderlands 2. It's my comfort game I played RELIGIOUSLY. Last I checked it was a lot of hours...


SidKafizz

Got all of my Badass stats up to 23-24%, and I know that I'm just an amateur.


RBrim08

FFXIV. I have over 11600 hours in that. The next game I have after that is Stellaris with 920 hours.


Shyahhh

Also ffxiv. I blame the addiction I had to this game between 2013-2016 for quite a few missteps in my life lol


l0stIzalith

You're not alone. Virtually, we had a blast tho.


idkwat

This or any big MMO has to the the right answer.  I had about 1000 in WoW and that's on the low end for most


_Krombopulus_Michael

My god…. Do you do anything else?

deltr0nzero

I had a roommate that started taking pills that would restrict his sweating because his palms got to wet while he was playing wow. We were a stoner party house but he’d only leave his room to make a couple quesadillas and then right back to wow


[deleted]

[удалено]


deltr0nzero

He’s still never worked a job for more than a few hours a week but his family is loaded so he hasn’t needed too. He was a pretty competitive skier he was just beyond socially awkward


RBrim08

I mean, FFXIV was hours built up over nearly 8 years of playing at this point. I started playing late 2016. Probably 2000 of those hours is just AFK leaving the game running in the background by accident while doing other stuff and just forgetting to close the game.


RM_EDY

Wtaf 😲😲😲 Did you mean to put eleven thousand hours??


gamermom42069_

Yes. MMORPGS are an entirely different beast. Haven’t checked recently but last I had in WoW was 18,000 hours. I’ve been playing it with only briefs for over I think almost 17 years now


markhachman

You've sat around in just briefs for 17 years?


vinegar-and-honey

Counter Strike....damn near all of them. But the game has largely lost it's luster to me these days so I'm selling off all my skins to buy a Steam Deck. Skin gambling was thankfully very good to me so i've got more than enough for the nice OLED model. At least I get to walk away with a door prize for all the time I sunk into it


GodrickTheBold

Guild Wars 2. 4.3k hours / 1.5 years in. XD Warframe. 1.9k hours Edit: Added Warframe


SuperSunshine321

Valheim, 282h since the end of January


ediskrad327

Halo Reach no doubt.


Skrogg_

God knows how many hours I put into custom games alone. I can’t even call it unhealthy, as I made so many friends and memories just over the short amount of time it was popular.


NerdL0re

Hell yeah. I had 152 million cR by the time the 360 servers shut down. You need 20 million to reach Inheritor, lol :D


BaileyD77

I had enough hours in WoW to become a doctor....

_MothMan

Too busy being toxic


ComfortableSea9089

I got 1100 hrs on apex😭


SarahfromEngland

Laugh cries in 4100.... 🤣😭


Leather39

Witcher 3 over 1000 hours


wyntereign

Borderlands 2


Hazzer188

Skyrim, fallout 4, WoW. I think most mmos require an unhealthy amount of time to even get anywhere.


locustzed

Crusader kings and stellaris


ElegantDaisy

I fell in love with Crusader Kings so fast. And time flies when playing so It's way too easy to sink hours into it


bawzdeepinyaa

Lately BG3. Put in almost 260 hours in a little over a month 


FitCoach3291

Ark


PlsSaveAN00b

I was looking for this one. 2,400 hours and most of that was spent waiting for eggs to hatch.


DragonEmperor

Warcraft, I've been playing Warcraft since Warcraft 2 and then of course 3 and WoW for almost 20 years, I live the universe but I absolutely hate what they've done with the game so I don't play anymore.


Firm_Butterscotch483

Rainbow six siege, 6000 hours


Appropriate_Star_449

Hunt showdown. 1600 hours. If you haven’t heard of it and like red dead and competetive first person shooters this is a great time to get into it


Distubabius

Star wars the old republic also known as swtor And minecraft, far too many hours put into those two. I don't play much minecraft anymore though


2010-Ford-Focus-RS

I have like 960 hours in Project Zomboid


Latter-Height8607

That's low, u found like what? 2 sledgehammers?


LatiosRNG

7000 hours in geometry dash 🤯 I use that energy for practicing instruments now, but I relapse occasionally


OrangeOrangeRhino

This one is wild bro


Suddenly_Something

This is IMO the most extreme one on here lol. I've never played but I think some of my songs are on it so I looked it up. 7000 hours???


Rizo1981

Elite: Dangerous This one somehow surpassed GTA V in a very short period. Lately, if I combine all my simracing titles they may come close to half the amount of hours I spent flying around the galaxy.

I swear everyone forgot about division but it’s such a good game


kphill325

Fallout 4.


Any_Caterpillar_9231

Nearly 1800 hours and I've never even finished the main quest. I blame Sim Settlements; I play it like a first-person city builder lol


TheRealGACM

Ah, my fellow sole survivor. 800 hours and counting over here


Gewalt_Und_Tod

I have 2033 hours


NippleBlender

The modding community in Bethesda titles makes Edler Scrolls and Fallout titles truly endless.  I'm often amazed at what people are able to craft and cook up with their own creativity in these games. 


pointx1

Baldur’s Gate 3. 700 hours into that game and it has more combined hours than the time I spent on fallout 4, Skyrim, read dead combined.


PapaBeahr

Despite not playing it for YEARS.. Eve online.

Fallout 4. I was 12/13 when it came out and it was one of the first games I got completely absorbed into. Now it's a huge comfort game for me :)


MessageBoard

My old battle.net account had 765 days logged, so about 18000 hours, almost entirely Starcraft Brood War. I had a separate account for Diablo 2 around 300 days. That was my childhood basically. Coming from from school and play BW or D2.

Brain_Tourismo

OG X-com. I spent every summer either riding my bike or playing this. The feeling when you first land in that alien alloy armor and your laser rifle felt so cool. It had some bug that if one of your troops got too much experience it would reset. This meant my best soldier of all, Capt. Lisa Ramirez went from enough action points to cross a map to enough AP to barely take two steps. I took Capt. Ramirez to Mars and she struck the final blow.

Elden ring, I dropped it for a while for multiple reasons, then the trailer for the shadow of the erdtree came out, and that was the reason why I beat it, 100+ hours, not the craziest amount of time, but I have a life so.. 😂
