Your Hours Played

[marioflag]

146 hours since release date

Aside - and I don't know how many times I grabbed the mouse and tried to click on his playback, kept saying, "no no, go check that popup out, don't right-click it, NOoooo...!"

lol, and I get told by some others that I'm not 'quick' enough

When I'm playing without the recording, I do go wander around the menus a lot more and check out the pop ups. But after awhile I know what a lot of them mean, so they aren't as interesting.

haha, I'm always thinking "why are you taking the time to right click all of those, just hit end turn!"

Ummm...let me get this straight.

Civilization 5 was released 248 days ago. Well, as of May 28th that is.

If you have played 2,683 hours, then that averages out to 10.81 hours a day.

As for me, 120 hours. I gave it a chance and even a second and third chance.

Just doesn't do it for me.

yeah this guy needs to get out of his mothers basement every once in a while

Around 480 hours. I've owned the game since release.

I checked last night and I was at 369 hours since release. How is it that I feel like I spend WAAAAY too much time civ'ing (like, 14 hours in the last 2 days, for example), and yet now I too feel like I don't qualify as a "fanatic?"

I guess I kinda go in for long sessions 2-3 times a week. Oh, and I don't idle to run to the post office or anything

Got it on September 21st, have played 126 hours. And am beating it on Deity. I've played Civ3 games longer than that and I haven't come close to beating it on Deity.

Civ 3 was a joke on Deity. Spam settlers, you win every time.

"This guy" is a professional game developer, well over 50, making over $1000 a day on contract. and his mom's computer won't handle his typical setup, so when he visits them, that's dead-time. (though I tried...)

It's considered totally acceptable while working to be playing a game in the background when I'm at the studio, too. (A lot of necessary tasks are automated, you'll have an hour of downtime while waiting for data to compress or re-exporting assets and the like.)

But two things -

1) As we discovered, keeping the game up in the background does pad your steam stats, that's a major contribution.

2) I'm burnt out on civ finally. It turns out that 3,000 hours is just about my limit.

Gotta find something else to OCD on...

I *LOVED* your movie, Randall! That being the case, I know it's not "mom & dad," they're "roommates." And it's not just a racecar bed. It's a SWEET racecar bed!

(This is totally in jest, and totally not malicious I really did like Grandma's Boy, too!)

Seriously, Saab, it's the dead-time. I don't turn off the game.

I remember crunching in April, after I shaved and showered I'd save my game on steam cloud and go to work.

I distinctly remember one day not being able to log onto Steam at work, I told the project technical director, "aww, crap, I left my game running at home, have to zip back and exit. Be 30 minutes."

Aside - I'm not sure exactly why it was blocked, just leaving the game running on another computer won't do it I'm pretty sure, might have left it on the "steam cloud" screen. The point is the work culture allows someone like me to keep a game up and running pretty much 24/7, it's not that remarkable.

ps - dude you can just google me, I'm not posting anonymously.

 

[Ravellion]

342 hours. Most of that is after the second patch though.

Hi fellow Civplayers,

Since Steam has the neat (and sometimes depressing) feature of showing how many hours you've spent playing a game: what is your play time?

I am currently at 426 hours and I bought the game about a week after release. I've spent almost 18 days of the past year playing Civ.

EDIT: sorry if this thread has been started before, I should've used the search function first.

 

[Ex.plode]

7 hours, just got it a couple days ago

 

[Ermak-]

I got 1450, creeping towards buck and half on 1yr anniversiry.

 

[Kevin J]

1462.6 now. That includes a lot of AFK time though - often leave the game running in the background.

 

[Windsor]

59 hours. Passed the 50 hour mark in the beginning of november 2010 so I have almost stopped playing the game completely.

 

[jtb1127]

Around 800. A lot of that might be my dad though.

 

[anandus]

270 hours, still a beginner
