I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.
I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.
What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?
According to Steam it’s Terraria with over 1200 hours. I bought it in 2012 and have replayed it regularly alone and with friends.
My second place isn’t even close, and it’s not actually a game. I bought Aseprite during the summer sale last year to see if I could stumble my way to something resembling visual art and I have about 250 hours logged, though I think a lot of that is me leaving the app open overnight.
It’s mine with around 750 hours. I was so excited for the game that I pirated an unreleased alpha and played that before it released. I bought it immediately at release and have played it off and on over the years. I just recently did another full playthrough and then some to get all of the new achievements.
I’ve bought the game many times to give away as gifts back when you could buy a 4 pack at a steep discount.
