What game have you put the most time into?

[Nascar24]

Would be WoW a long time ago.

[John C Flett]

Looking through this thread it's easy to see why I finish so many more games than any of you. It's cause you never stop playing your favourites. I am astonished and seriously impressed at the time some of you have logged on these titles.

[dodger]

Of the ones I've put over 100 hours:

1921 hrs - Torchlight 2
605 hrs - Civilization 5
280 hrs - Homeworld Deserts of Kharak

Indies have been trying to fill the gap since all the tripleA devs abandoned the genre, but they are understaffed and have lower budgets to work with so its a slow process.

Jesus, do you really have 600 days? How? Are you sure it's not just the client being on? Because wow I could never see myself with 600+ days on a game like that. That's just impressive.

Yeah I just saw that after you posted this, crazy!

I have put thousands of hours each into MoH:AA, DoDS, COD:MW(OG), BC2 and BF3.Various Total Wars have 300-500 hours each.

[ThirdEye]

Stalker SOC ~1k hours, plus all the mods who knows really.
Counter-Strike 1.5 ~2k hours
Elite Dangerous 2k hours
BF4 2.5k hours
PUBG 3k hours

[Quickstrike]

Counter-Strike
Call of Duty - Warzone

Hundreds of hours in each.

[JohnnyFlash]

Forged alliance. I had 2500 games on GPG and another 3000 on FAF.

[Napoleonic]

from my entire gaming career, here is what I remember...

Excite bike, Soccer and Tanks on NES when I was a kid

then what, I don't remember lol, maybe TMNT on SNES, ISS Deluxe maybe, and then Final Fight series?... I forget it.

on the pc, in the 90s.. Jane's Combat Simulations games, Wing Commander series, Strike Commander, Warcraft series, and Syndicate +...

I played Winning Eleven/PES series from Winning Eleven 3 on PS1 to PES 2011 on PC, that was like what... a little over 10 years playing the same annual game series? I switched over to FIFA with FIFA 18 and then 20 but I'm now completely done with football games....

speaking about football games, I also played Championship Manager since it's 3rd iteration up until the original dev switched over to Football Manager, I played the first few games in FM era before being done with it.

Total War series is another series I played a lot in the past starting since the first ever game up until Medieval 2, I played Medieval 2 the most due to the mods available, getting as far as up in the 2010s I replayed Medieval 2 again with the striving mods back then, I basically couldn't get into TW again since Empire, I hate the gunpowder era, and I loathe the fantasy TW games, also couldn't get into modern TW games like Shogun 2, Rome 2 or even 3 Kingdoms because I couldn't get into the modern UI style that they use.

the X3 series is another games I played a lot, beginning with X3 Reunion right up to X3 Albion Prelude, and of course with mods at that time, and again like with many of the games I mentioned before, I just couldn't get into the newer iteration of the games that I enjoyed in the past, this time I couldn't get into X4, and I also loathed the X Rebirth.

then there's Elite Dangerous, I played the game since 2015 and clocked up close to 1000 hours by now but sadly I've not played it a lot since 2021, the latest expansion is underwhelming and overall the game just run out of steam in the last few years.. ED is the only MMO ish game I actually played in all of my gaming career...

in the past 3 years though, I've been playing Roguetech mod for Battletech the most, clocking over 2500 hours today and still continuing...

somewhere along in that timeline I also played a lot tactical action games, from the first few RB6 games, SWAT 4, Splinter Cell and the likes, it's sad how they are gone now although I know apparently ubisoft is remaking Splinter Cell but I wouldn't hold my breath...

and in the last 5 years I've played more indie - AA games than AAA games, the last AAA games I actually played and enjoyed somewhat is Cyberpunk, that was definitely a downer and didn't live up to the hype...

in the future I may finally get into DCS... lol... depending if I can afford the time commitment and equipment for it, for a long time I really wanted to get into modern (as in modern games, not replaying the 90s games) military aviation sim world but yeah it's too consuming, so I Keep backing away from it.

that's basically it, the games and genres I've played the most.

[ugly]

NES days probably would be Final Fantasy

SNES probably would be Final Fantasy 3 (VI)

Early PC days would be Daggerfall.

There was a long Diablo 2 phase.

For the Steam data:
TF2 - 1,017 hrs
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition - 369 hrs
Wasteland 2: Director's Cut - 204 hrs

TF2 and DAO were during an extended unemployed phase. I didn't even care for DAO all that much.

[Meteor_of_War]

I'm not really one that plays the same game for too long. Don't play all that much MP, and certainly do not stick to one game very long when I do.

Back in the old days probably put the most time into the Unreal Tournament series. UT'99 and UT2k4 mainly. Could possibly be multiple thousands of hours. Then for single player I used to put in a ton of time into replaying the original Interplay Fallout games over and over. They were my favorite games for a long time. But of course that was before Steam and game time logs so who knows how much actual time.

Also no telling how long I have played some retro games for. Games like the Super Mario Bros series, Legend of Zelda, Contra, Castlevanias, etc. All of these I have played over and over tons of times going on over 3 decades now. I can only imagine how many hours that adds up to.

For more modern games, my highest play times would be:

From Software's Souls series - probably well over 1000 hours total for all.
Nioh 1 & 2 - close to 300 hours between both games.
Witcher 3 - maybe 200 hours including all expansions.
Fallout New Vegas - maybe 150 hours or so.
Death Stranding - Maybe 130 hours or so.
Metal Gear Solid V - Maybe 130 hours or so.

That's probably the highest time logged for modern PC games that I put the most into. I generally finish one playthrough of single player games that aren't too long and move onto something new.

[Crawdaddy79]

Something close to 750 hours with Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

2nd place: Battlefield 2 with 454 hours (logged by Xfire)

EDIT: 2.5 place: Witcher 3 with 177 hours (tracked by GOG Galaxy).

3rd place: Skyrim with 160 hours.

4th place: Trackmania with 144 hours. Though if you lumped all Trackmania games together it adds up to about 372 hours as of 2007. Probably another hundred since then with ManiaPlanet, Tracmania 2, Turbo, etc.

Have you hit up the Final Fantasy Randomizer? It's been my go-to phone game this year.

[xCLAVEx]

Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion (mostly modded play). Over 1000 hours (can't remember exactly).

League of legends is probably the most overall, but I have no way to check how many hours I've spent on that game so I'm not sure. The page that used to work for checking your time spent in it hasn't worked in a long time.

[mizzer]

Witcher 3 with DLCs and it's not even close.

[Dengin]

WoW
Diablo 3
Star Wars the old Republic
Elite: Dangerous

And that's just in the past 10 years. When I was young probably Dungeon Master, NeverWinter Nights, Starglider 2

Desitny 2 2690 hr's just from oct 2019 alone lol

But overall?

All the battlefields and quite possibly counterstrike source i have to have had 5K hours in it at least.

Thinking about it a little more, have also put thousands of hours into COD&UO, RTCW, CS, Stalker, Sins of a Solar Empire, AOE2, Hell Let Loose, BF1, and a few hundred hours into Skyrim and Oblivion. A lot of these hours were before Steam starting tracking playtime.

Pre-steam I put a ton of time into these games, but I have no idea which one had the most

Diablo 2
Descent 3 MP
Jedi Outcast

In the console days

Super Mario World
Zelda
