I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
Before the community died off I had put just under 20,000 hours into Subspace / Continuum (mostly on EG). No, that’s not a typo. I learned what addiction looks like as I grew older.
Between that, NexusTK, The Realm and an unhealthy obsession with SNES JRPGs I don’t know how I managed to make it through grade / high school…
Final Fantasy XI. On and off over the list twenty years I probably have about 3 to 4 years worth of game time. 2 of those years were put in between 04 to 07.
League of Legends. I don’t know how many hours I’ve put into it but I’ve been playing since pre-Season 5. This season alone I’ve played around 600 games. It’s depressing.
Path of Exile. It literally captures you once you take a grasp on game mechanics and find an interesting character build.
Oh boy, theres a lot to talk about chatacter building.
Theres no ARPG game in the market with such complexity in planning your character. Dopamine hits when you reach your build’s peak and while you chase for milestones, like upgrading gear, leveling, bossing, etc. Leagues are breath of fresh air, introducing expansions + new content, also possibility to start a fresh character in fresh ladder & economy.
Playing PoE with pals in a guild and sharing milestones, moments, items & currency, helping each other with progression sucks you even further in.
Its so addictive that I’ve had to stop playing it, because it takes so much of your time. But I don’t regret playing it. Good times.
Dead By Daylight has consumed more of my life than any other game at 1600 hours (since 2018), and that’s still rookie territory. I’ve never been able to commit to a game for very long, maybe 40-80 hours max and that was only two or three games in my life. DBD just has a hold on me.
Same. I play until I rage-quit sometimes. But most times it’s hitting my dopamine receptors juuust right. Those perfect, risky escapes are so satisfying.
There are two games that I have spent a considerable amount of my life playing Planetside 2 and Path of Exile.
Planetside 2 released it was exactly the game that I was looking for. The experience of playing in an organised outfit was the best multiplayer gaming I’ve ever experienced.
Path of Exile is like a sledgehammer of a learning curve. Never had played an ARPG before this but once I got to maps my soul was taken indeed.
Before this left4dead 2 was the game that I had suck many hours into - what a game!
First Chivalry game was dope. Funniest pvp hack n slash ever. Can’t even get mad when you die cuz the voice acting and emotes n shit was over the top hilarious. Imagine if “Were knights of the round table” from Monty python was a medieval call of duty that was it.
Chiv 2 is pretty good too but didn’t get too deep honestly cuz I sunk in hundreds of hours on the first and retired.
