What are your top 3 most-played games?
« on: December 12, 2013, 12:05:07 pm »

In addition, what's your estimate regarding how much time you've spent playing them?

In the order of hours played, mine are:
1. Minecraft, in all its modded glory
Time Played: So many I don't even know. Been playing since '09, before Indev survival mode
2. Mount and Blade Warband and its various mods
Time played: 412 hours according to Steam and probably many more, considering that one of my most-played mods has a separate launcher
3. EVE Online.
Time played: Lots, been playing on and off since '08.

On Steam:
Terraria: 399 hours
Star Trek Online: 255 hours
Team Fortress 2: 229 hours
(G-Mod comes in at a close third with 214 hours, and the only other game above 100 currently is Saints Row: the Third with 113)

Off Steam:
Ultima Online: Probably thousands or tens of thousands of hours, but I haven't played it in years.

The only one of those I'm still playing at all, and infrequently at that, is Star Trek Online.

On Steam:

CS:S :: 665 hours
TF2 :: 216 hours
Terraria :: 207 hours

But man, that sells it short. Only CS:S is competitive, and I've put at least thrice that many hours into Halo 3 back in the day.

Battlefield 1942
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Ultima Online

These are the ones that pop up in my mind as "oh my god I remember playing the heck out of these" but it might not be entirely accurate. Some followup contenders:

Morrowind
Minecraft
Neverwinter Nights 1 (Mostly online)
Shadowrun (SNES) - probably played all the way through 4 times, more than any other singleplayer game
Pirates! (I've played the Genesis version, the Gold PC version, and the more recent Live the Life version. All wonderful. They need to make a Spelljammer version)

Space Station 13 - I've probably put well over 1000 hours into this since I started in 2009/2010.
Oblivion/Morrowind - I've put about an equal time into each (100+ hours), love those games, but couldn't stand Skyrim.
Kerbal Space program - Nearing 250 hours according to Steam.

Contenders:

Terraria - Put well over a hundred hours into it when it first came out and after 1.1, and then another 30 or so after the new update.
Minecraft - played it a ton in alpha and beta, haven't played in a couple years though.
Super Mario: The Lost Levels - I put a fuckton of time into just beating this, then I competed with my friends to see who could beat it in the shortest amount of time. Ugh, this game kills me, but I love it. It bugs me that I can't find the original Japanese Super Mario 2 version outside an emulator though, it's a lot harder than the American Lost Levels one which I still have for my SNES.

Why did you not like Skyrim compared to the other two?

Fallout New Vegas - I've probably played through this a few times, might change with me possibly non likely getting the DLC for christmas.
My covert text hiding skills are a bit rusty.
Cataclysm - If I could give a rough estimate, it'd add up to about 100 hours.
Damnit Arcade
Aaaaaand finally:

Halo ODST - Dunno why, but this game is just fun to play.

Plus it has my favorite version of the Spiker gun in it so that's a plus :)

I'd say:
1. World of Tanks- Almost daily for about four years now, so there's a lot of time spent right there
2. League of Legends- The same, been plaiyng for about four years now, also on an almost daily basis, but with longer breaks occassionaly
3. Not sure on this one, but I'll say WC3:FT a large part of elementary and some highschool was spent playing any of the custom maps with friends or online (come to think of it, it was probably my first online game ever)

1. Probably Minecraft. I really don't want to think about the hours put in but damn it's a lot.

2. Runescape, unfortunately. This was back in the early-to-mid 2000's when it was less embarassing.

3. I had to think about this one for a while, but it's probably Pokemon. I have 2 dead original gameboys to prove it.

According to steam:

TF2 : 165 hrs
Mount and Blade  With Fire and Sword : 49hrs
Civilization V: 47hrs

Outside of steam I think it is:
Doom 2 on DOSbox
Wolfenstein(2009) on Xbox 360
Command and Conquer Red alert II Yuri's revenge on an old XP machine I have

Guesswork:
  • City of Heroes - couldn't guess exactly how many hours, but it'll definitely be in the thousands, maybe even tens of thousands.
  • Baldur's Gate 2 - completed it 5-6 times, generally did all the side quests (that I knew about on any given playthrough), plus expansion 2-3 times, so probably about 300 hours.
  • Fallout 2 - completed a similar number of times to BG2, but I think it was a bit shorter?  Certainly no expansion, so maybe 200-250 hours.

Steam (obviously only a subset of games I've owned):
  • Civ IV: Beyond the Sword - 441 hours (much of which was the Caveman2Cosmos mod)
  • Sword of the Stars 2 - 219 hours (much of which was wrestling with the game, trying the latest update to see if it was playable yet :P)
  • Civ V - 166 hours

I guess Civ IV should supplant BG2 and FO2 in my guesswork, but I guessed before I checked Steam (and who knows, I might have underestimated).

(edit: I just remembered I played Avatar MUD for 5 years, although much of that was on dialup pay-per-minute BT phone rates, so limited to playing at off-peak times when my mum & dad didn't mind the phone being disconnected... so no idea how that figures in; definitely doesn't beat CoH, but might beat the rest)
