I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
On Steam my top game is GTA V with like 1.1k hours, I haven’t played it in over 2 years tho.
But the actual top game is probably Minecraft, tho it’s hard to get an exact number.
ooh, astroneer is great! haven’t played it myself but seen some gameplay of it. mine is Planetside 2 with about 2400 hours… most of that is from the past two years I’d say
I haven’t played Planetside 2 for a few years now, how is the playerbase these days? When I left they had started limiting access to maps due to dwindling player counts.
oh? that has always been the case, open continents have always been based on server population, which itself has been pretty stable for the past few years. not gaining players, but not losing either
the Connery and Soltech servers are more empty than the others, but other than that, it’s fine. Devs are still working on updates, and regularly bringing new things and doing balance changes. recently, Bastions have been changed to be more supportive and less death machines, construction has received a big overhaul, MAXes cannot be revived once killed, and last year a new map has been added, Oshur, with water and mechanics that go with it, to a pretty mixed reception, but I think they have done a good job at improving it over time!
The Playstation version is pretty much dead, with very low player counts, but mostly, it has stopped receiving updates for about a year, with no words from the devs so far
Chose to live the DINK life, loving it.
Minecraft. I spent a lot of time on it, especially when playing with friends on my server.
Must be Civ IV - that whole series makes you lose track of time - start a game and that’s the whole weekend gone; even now Civ IV with the Realism Invictus mod feels like it’s got tonnes of gameplay still left in it for me.
That said, OpenTTD has been an enduring favourite of mine for the past few years and because of its flexibility it might surpass it in the long-term.
OpenTTD FTW
What, recently?
Historically, Destiny or Borderlands, probably the latter. But lately, I’m spending all of my time in Factorio.
I haven’t looked at the hours stat; it’d probably only depress me.
Parent here, very badly envious of all y’all’s numbers.
(but in my pre-kid days I’m sure I put in at least 300 hours on the pre-Steam version of Dwarf Fortress)
Minecraft. I don’t know how many hours, but I bought it before nether portals were a thing and I’ve been playing it ever since. Sometimes a game just clicks for you.
What do you even have left to do in Minecraft at this point? Not asking to be rude, but as an ADHD guy I actually can’t imagine playing a game that much!
I probably spent the most time in Red Dead Redemption 2 or ARK, but that’s because I went for 100% completion and there were always things to do for me. Once I completed the games (about 400 hours each), I was over it.
Modpacks. There are hundreds. And probably tens of thousands of mods. You can easily make your own modpacks nowadays, using a launcher and config editor.
It’s been so long since I’ve played the vanilla version, I haven’t seen any content from the last few updates. I’ve started a vanilla world just to explore them.
