How many video games do you have?

My were always just deformed monstrosities that were dumb or else were some variation of a walking penis.

Rorschach is rolling in his grave.

How bought this, very arbitrary number but a nice round one, which games have you played more than 100 hours on? You can clock it either by steam or some other clock or just estimating. Mines just a few, discounting super old stuff I played as a kid like civ2, but games in my current accessible library.

Civ4
Civ5
FTL
Skyrim
Dota2
WoW
NBA 2k17
Space Pirates And Zombies
Master of Orion 2
Dragon Age Origins
Mass Effect 2
Sim City 4

That's it. I've beaten some other games like Darkest Dungeon once but never replayed it, same with Mass Effect 3, stuff like that.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

If you put all the ME games I've played together, they're definitely over 100 hours but none of them are individually. I think I sank 60 hours into Andromeda which was probably the highest - and I didn't replay that one as I did with all previous games.

Civ 3/4/5 are all over 100 hours, 6 is probably at 50.

Pokemon go is over 100 hours but that's tricky to measure.

I might be at 100 hours with SC3000, definitely no there with SC4 yet.

I might have put in 100 hours in Star Trek Online before I was forced out of the game due to massive glitches. Other than that though, I hardly play anything online.

I have 92 hours in ME1, 116 hours into ME2, and 117 in ME3, but I can tell you for sure that a lot of it was replaying certain parts for....uh, reference purposes. (FANFIC reference purposes.)

I'm not touching Andromeda with a pole though.

The game I've put the most hours into total was Solitaire (over 900!) but a lot of that's because I sometimes accidentally leave it running in the background for days.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Hahaha

Andromeda really wasn't bad and it could have even been great if they hadn't dropped it like a turd

There are games outside Steam that would count for this, like SWTOR, San Andreas (now on Steam, but originally had it off it), and Minecraft. But my list for 100+ hours is:

Time Clickers -- 1112 hours (Free to play, idle game)
Crusader Kings 2 -- 865 hours
Transport Defender -- 856 hours (Free to play, idle game)
Europa Universalis 4 -- 539 hours
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth -- 496 hours
Midas Gold Plus -- 408 hours (Free to play, idle game)
Civilization 5 -- 407 hours
Realm Grinder -- 311 hours (Free to play, idle game)
Terraria -- 266 hours
Total War: EMPIRE -- 173 hours
Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword -- 169 hours
Endless Space -- 137 hours
AdVenture Capitalist -- 134 hours (Free to play, idle game)
Crush Crush -- 117 hours (Free to play, idle game)
Civilization 3 -- 117 hours
Binding of Isaac -- 106 hours
Borderlands 2 -- 104 hours
Stardew Valley -- 103 hours

Without the idle games:

Crusader Kings 2 -- 865 hours
Europa Universalis 4 -- 539 hours
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth -- 496 hours
Civilization 5 -- 407 hours
Terraria -- 266 hours
Total War: EMPIRE -- 173 hours
Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword -- 169 hours
Endless Space -- 137 hours
Civilization 3 -- 117 hours
Binding of Isaac -- 106 hours
Borderlands 2 -- 104 hours
Stardew Valley -- 103 hours

Here are my longest-play games (turns out I was wrong about Solitaire being the longest, oops)

 

[Synobun]

Actually, I should add GMod to my list too. I played it a ton before they started tracking hours. I wouldn't be able to estimate, but probably at least 300+.

All estimated, but

FOR SURE

Civ 3 (which is sort of retired probably)
Civ 4
Alpha Centauri
X3:Terran Conflict (which is retired almost for sure)
X3:Albion Prelude
Rome: Total War (which I currently don't have access to)
Medieval: Total War (retired by hardware, probably okay with that now)
No Man's Sky
Half-Life (long since retired)
Doom (retired)
Morrowind
Oblivion (not much over a hundred playing, but undoubtedly a couple hundred at least modding)
EU2 (retired)
EU3
Madden
Pirates in various iterations
Railroad Tycoon in various iterations
Tropico in various iterations
Sim City in various iterations...most likely Sim City 4 all by itself
Tie Fighter (semi-retired maybe, finally...maybe not...crap, probably playing that later)
X-Com in various iterations

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I've probably got over 500 hours (minimum) in the Sims 2, but I only started tracking the hours on it a year ago.

Same for Minecraft too.

Medieval: Total War works on modern hardware now if you get a digital version. R:TW is hit or miss... everyone else here says it works fine on modern hardware but for me it's utterly unplayable.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Solitaire...

I left out Spider solitaire and Epic Pinball I'm sure those are over a hundred too. Maybe Minesweeper as well.

When TW shows up on GoG they are guaranteed a massive buying spree on my part.

Creative Assembly doesn't have them on GOG? That's weird, especially since games altered to work on modern hardware is their bread and butter.

I thought most of the player-made assets were garbage personally. What is Darkspore?

I LOVED Darkspore. The problem was it had always online DRM and they took down the server so you can't connect to play it anymore. I forgot, it's one of the games I have over 100 hours on.

It's a dungeon crawler a lot like Torchlight or Diablo 3, but it has its own unique quirks about it. First you run shorter levels and at the end can get a reward or keep going for greater rewards so chaining huge dungeon runs together is really lucrative but if you die you get nothing so you have to be careful.

Then it's a squad based dungeon crawler and you can freely switch between the three heroes on your squad so there's a lot of combos to try. This becomes significant because there were something like five hero types, cybernetic, fire, nature, a blue type I don't remember the name, a purple type I don't remember the name to either. You would run into enemies or bosses that were strong vs some and weak vs others so you would want to be able to swap heroes around for that. Then to complicate things even more there were two damage types, physical and energy damage and enemies could be strong or weak or even immune vs a type so you needed to keep that in mind in your makeup as well. AND even beyond that, there are ranged and melee units which fare better or worse vs certain enemies based on positioning.

AANNNND even beyond that, each hero had three abilities and a fourth called a squad ability that everyone on the team got so they all ended up with 6 total, 4 of their own plus 2 from the other dudes on your squad. This allowed you to make really amazing combinations like you have a melee rogue type who's supa dupa strong and cool as hell but he can't heal himself (multiplayer was totally dead so forget about making a true tank, dps, healer type squad) so you team him up with someone with a squad ability that heals and someone else with a ranged ability and suddenly he has self healing and range and is unstoppable.

Outfitting gear mattered a lot too because some gear was flat bonuses and some was percentage based so different combos made drastically different effects.

I just wrote 500 words on a dead game. I need to get a life.

I liked spore too but only really the first two stages, the one where you are an amoeba and the one where you build creatures to either kill or socialize. The other stages sucked though the final space one that plays more like an rpg was cool at first. I liked discovering sol the first time.

Strangely, they do not.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I was seriously hoping that Zoo Tycoon would appear on GOG around the time that Planet Zoo was released. They missed out.

 

[Synobun]

There's this sinking feeling when you load up a game for the first time in 10+ years only to find out that it's basically unplayable and you have no idea why you liked it to begin with...

I had this with CivCity Rome last year. I bought it during a sale for a rainy day. Months later I spool it up and it's just... so bad. Really horrendous. How did younger me like this? NO clue. And by then it was way too late to get a refund. So now it's just wasting away in my library. I resent its existence.

I have CivCity Rome. I actually still enjoy it but in small doses.
