Did you know on the original FFX on PS2 if you play more than 9999 hours the hours played flips over to 0000 again?
PS I also checked how many hours 9999 is because I wasn't sure if I was exaggerating how much I played the game, and it's less than two full years worth of hours, and I did in fact play more than that, easily.
Did you like 100% the upgrade map?
Giving me Dick Tree vibes.
You can 100% the Sphere Grid in only a few hours, if you’re smart about it. My guess is they were going around using Clear Spheres to wipe unneeded spheres off the map and replace them. The default Sphere Grid doesn’t actually allow you to max your stats; You need to clear the existing +2 or +3 spheres, and replace them with +4 spheres instead.
Even then, maxing your stats doesn’t require 9999 hours. Unless OP was farming experience in Besaid Island (the starting area) it shouldn’t take that long to navigate the grid and farm enough replacement spheres.
No shade or anything but how does that work in a single player pretty linear game, what's the draw after you finish it a few times?
People used to just play the endgame in single player games. I probably put more hours into Tales of Symphonia after I beat all the content than before.
Lots and lots of Blitzball, I guess.
So I'm not autistic and these aren't necessarily bad games, but for my partner this is definitely Dragon Age. She has put an insane number of hours into the first 3 games. She knew The Veilguard was going to be bad. She KNEW, she told me multiple times even the second before she told me she bought the game. She got 3/4 of the way through before having a crying, screaming meltdown over how bad it was.
Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. I have at least 10k hours between both.
I want to play AC so badly. Every time I pick it up my brain is hit with nostalgia from when I played it as a kid on my N64 and GC but now as an adult I enjoy it more watching my kids play it and talk to me about their villagers.
This is unironically one of my favorite memes because it fits me SO WELL:
On Minecraft I have ~150 days playtime on PC, after switching to Prismlauncher (after some development drama) I have another ~22 days playtime. Along with my 1300 hours on switch it's a total of 234.5 DAYS looking at pixelated blocks in a children's game.
that's not even including my time in PE edition from when I was little or the multiple years I spent in Lunar client which doesn't track playtime. In total it's probably WELL over a whole year of JUST Minecraft.
I ALSO have 9154 hours in other steam games and 1500 MORE in animal crossing. In total this is 16,000 hours, 670 days or
I do also have minor autism.
edit: also 2-300 hours in oldschool RuneScape lol
I’ve been playing the Monster Hunter series since 2004 and have logged well over 10k hours.
They said bad games
I am so glad I bought that game before the steam release, which means most of my hours are untracked.
The factory must expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory..
The factory must grow
ITT: people listing good games they played a bunch.
The answer is clearly world of warcraft.
Modded minecraft isnt the worst ever
I started making games to make sure its not
I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.
Finished playing through it just recently, seriously underrated imo.
It’s not a bad game but Rimworld is destroying my life right now.
Is it about rimming?
I just spent 20 hours on the demo for the new game roadcraft. I'm just pushing dirt around in a tractor like I'm playing with Tonka trucks back when I was 5. I haven't really done anything interesting, just leveled dirt. Anyway, ill probably put in another 6 hours today after work.
I have the most hours in Warframe, but Factorio is on a different level. If you're anywhere on the spectrum, it is pure crack cocaine. The only reason I haven't bought the DLC is because I know it'll consume a month of my free time.
By the way, Warframe 1999's soundtrack fucking slaps.
After playing with trains in factorio, then just staring at them go in pure ecstasy for 10s of minutes. I am now convinced I'm much further on the spectrum than I thought.
Dota 2. Almost 10k hours. I got matched against s4 and had to face him in the mid lane. I got wrecked and I uninstalled the game, that was a few years ago now. I figured if I just matched against one of the best players in the world then I actually completed dota and it's time to stop.
Outer Worlds. Not exactly a bad game but fell just a tad short of being F:NV spiritual successor.
You could tell what was constraining it was mostly budget. I have high hopes for the sequel.
There was a shitty f2p MMO called GunZ online once upon a time. It was so badly programmed that glitches literally became the primary gameplay loop.
I loved it. For those few that could get into it, it was a unique heaven of fps and fighting game that filled a void an over caffeinated teen with nothing but hyper focus and time didn't know they had.
Also just ridiculously horny people.
Did y'all hear about Rain World ?
Growing up playing osu! forever scarred my taste in music. Now I have a $300 SDVX controller at home and I need help
Also honorable mention for the 500+ hrs I have in Skyrim (with additional difficulty mods), Slay the Spire, Binding of Issac, ...
What's the deal with osu? I work in a computer shop and see that icon on customer machines all the time but never looked into it.
Get ready for Autistic infodump
Osu (stylized as osu!) is a rhythm game... Developed by an Australian group, wiki says it first released in 2007. Probably by far the most popular rhythm game out there, and probably the only one that can rival DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) and DDR-clones/lookalikes. And unlike DDR which requires a ridiculously expensive setup (a reliable DDR pad would cost close to $1k and is extremely loud) or being a regular at your local Japanese arcade to play, osu can be played by anyone with a PC, a mouse/trackpad, and a lot of hopes & dreams
Osu was inspired by the Nintendo Ouendan series on the NDS; in that game you use the little pen provided by NDS to click circles/drag sliders/etc on the bottom screen; obviously works well with the NDS form factor. The osu team decided to translate this into PC gameplay where you need to control stuff with keyboard/mouse... and somehow it worked quite well!
Since osu is completely free (I believe it is still very much free-to-play, no idea how they monetize), relatively accessible (see counter-example of DDR above), and is a legitimate & very serious rhythm game, I think it quickly gained a sizable and very passionate player base. And unlike lots of other rhythm games where the charts are curated by a company, osu's charts are created by players & "peer-reviewed" by mods, so there are a LOT of charts, basically any anime/game-related song you could think of is in the game as an approved chart, which further helps grow the popularity. Needless to say it just kept growing from there... I think even back when it was the 2010s and I was playing the game actively, there were already a bunch of community groups, and ppl literally had names for different play styles. I think my style of primarily using mouse but mashing keyboard Z/X key for combos was called the Seiiryu (blue dragon) style or something... I forgot sorry
As for the gameplay itself... Osu's gameplay is actually quite unique in terms of rhythm games especially back then. Back then the gold standard of rhythm games I believe are DDR and IIDX, both of which are vertical fixed-screen drop-down notes where you have to time the fixed buttons to the notes. Osu on the other hand has dynamic notes where circles fly all over the screen. However, this also means that at higher level gameplay, osu relies less on your "sense of rhythm" and more on... precise mouse movements, almost like an FPS. I think nowadays games like maimai/WACCA/Chrono Circle might be similar to osu's playstyle. They did add more game modes though; they have a taiko clone, a "catch the fruit" game which is even more unique than their base game, and a djmax/iidx clone.
And... yeah. In short I think osu could be seen as the gateway drug into rhythm games due to it being free, having charts for just about any song you could think of, and having a passionate community. Now that you've sunk yourself in the rabbit hole, grab your wallet and pay for that $1000 DDR setup you have always wanted, $2000 maimai ADX controller setup, and mortgage on the suburban single-family home to play it in so you don't get complaints from neighbors. You know you want it. Do it. DO IT (/s obviously)
EVE Online?
EXCUSE ME! Spreadsheet simulator clearly DOES NOT fall under the category of 'worst game' in any way whatsoever! Now hold on for a second while I log into my 7th account...
