Tarkov. 16k hours. More time than most streamers.
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow. And I thought I was bad with my 5k in cs…
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 year ago
It’s either something dark and gritty like dark souls, or the cutest shit ever like animal crossing or stardew valley. I’m my case it’s both.
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The meme says worst games. Dark Souls is one of the absolute best games.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 year ago
My tism sometimes has my skip words when reading something with pixels in the double digits.

Destiny. I hate it but I can’t stop playing it.
Rainbowsaurus@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I spent a vast majority of my college years and mid 20s playing an MMO by the name of Puzzle Pirates. Honestly, if it had maintained a large enough player base for the content, I probably would’ve been addicted a lot longer. I’ve never come across another game quite like it and it’s a shame mismanagement of the company and shitty decisions about the direction of the game led it to a slow death.
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 year ago
For me it was Warcraft 3 custom maps. And I’d probably still be playing it if blizzard hadn’t fucking destroyed it. Fuck blizzard forever.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
Like I hate it, it was a disappointment when I got it (maybe even more than Skyrim). I wanted Morrowind 2, I got “oh, the LOTR series is popular because of the film, why not flatten our setting into generic medieval fantasy?” instead of my jungle city with dragons flying around the canals.
The main plot is stupid, most of the faction plot lines are stupid (Mannimarco is probably one of the most embarrassing bosses in a video game of all time). Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine showed that there was still some capable writers at Bethesda, but Horse Armor probably got a lot more profit for much less effort. (And now, they’ve figured that they don’t even have to do that and can just resell what modders do.)
Despite how much I hate the game, I’ve sank thousands of hours into it - not just playing it, but modding it. Installing the mods of others, making and releasing my own. I have a dream of someday making a total conversion mod which would fix all of the things I hate about the main story and the landmass and the dialogue and the lack of roleplaying opportunities… to the point where I’ve also spent hundreds of hours making small stabs at the project.
I listen to other people play the game and talk about the game and complain about the game all of the time. I watch more hours of people playing Oblivion than Morrowind - which is the game I actually like and think is good!

When I did my first play thru on Xbox 360, and I realized there was no levitation or jumping spells – I can still recall the disappointment. That simple thing was enough for me to not like it as much.
However, going into portals sickened and scared me. I never got over it before I moved on to Skyrim.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The way the game is designed relies on a lack of levitation and jumping spells. They needed to make everything run on console (and designed the UI entirely around that, it’s torment to use vanilla UI on PC). Cities have to be in separate worldspaces, and levitating could get you into the placeholder spots on the map. It would also make closing those Oblivion gates trivial if you just float up to the top of the tower. (Real men just use paintbrushes).
It just doesn’t make any lore sense though. Necromancy is illegal too, but it’s certainly still happening!
Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Fucking Mannimarco was SO disappointing. You’re chasing down this rouge faction of necromancers, corpses nailed to the walls, spooky as shit, rumors of The King of Worms fly, you finnally make it to him, and he’s an Altmer in a cave in a brown robe all ‘‘I’m an immortal who used to be in the Psyjic Order, was there when magic was first passed from Mer to Men, I single handedly invented enchanting, soul binding, and raising the dead, You have to fucking PRAY to me to make black soul gems!’’
And you lob an arrow at him from across the room and he says the same things ever Altmer in the game does and falls over dead. Like… really? I was expecting ANYTHING to happen in the fight at all.
They could have just made him a litch with some thralls and a health pool and damage output high enough to make it seem like a boss fight. I’ve had more trouble assassinatiing pirates.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The build up is ridiculous! Traven kills himself to give you that soul gem.
Mannimarco is supposed to be a god! How is he just a high elf in a shitty reskinned robe that needs a staff to reanimate a single corpse? Mannimarco in lore would use Mannimarco in game as fodder for experiments - getting merked by someone who might not even know how to cast a fireball. (Getting rid of faction requirements also annoys me, but if you’re so opposed to making people replay your game for all content and think it’s immersive that you can be the Grey Fox, Arch Mage, Listener, etc…, then at least acknowledge it somehow. Like, if you become Arch Mage before you do Thieves Guild, at one point you steal from yourself. I guess you also do become Sheogorath, maybe that insanity is why.)
They could have at least made a unique character mesh for him based on his Daggerfall design.
Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Did you know on the original FFX on PS2 if you pay more than 9999 hours the hours played flips over to 0000 again?
andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 1 year ago
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.

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.
spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lots and lots of Blitzball, I guess.

Megaten
Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 1 year ago
My judgement will depend on which megaten game you no-lifed.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Any game where you fight by picking stuff out of menus
stopforgettingit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I am not sure if I should feel insulted or thankful that I just gained a new perspective.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You do you, man. I’ve just thought that felt like the exact opposite of combat since I was a kid when all the old FF games were popular.
Salvia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
All I see are awesome game recommendations, thanks everyone! Except for Stardew Valley… that’s my game. I love it but I hate it for reasons mentioned already.
DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Second Life. If you could call it a game.
I started “playing” it in 2006. Went through long periods of not playing it… but I always come back… and it’s always worse
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I used to play yeaaaars ago doing custom scripting work and what not as a teenager to make extra money. I got on recently and it just seemed dead. Maybe I just forgot how to navigate, but I literally felt like I couldn’t find people to even interact with.
DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
the technology has improved tenfold, the game looks and runs so different now that its virtually unrecognizable, but the communities are shit, the user count is at best half as many as it was in the late 00s to early 10s. and most of the people online are either just parked in a shitty club, usually AFK, hiding in their private land, innnocuously buying stuff for their house or character, lagging the place up with scripted farms and such… a very small number of worthwhile game / activity and roleplay communities (RP is still basically a game…) … and most everyone else is probably e-banging…
Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 1 year ago
This is RuneScape for me. I take very long breaks, but always end up playing it again after not thinking about it for like a year or two.
radau@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Holy shit is it still around? I remember playing that around the same period and going to all of the servers with free shit and occasionally coming across some weird sex server lmao.
DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
when you say server, I think you’re talking about regions (colloquially called “sims or simulators” in game) while its true they do run on servers, usually 4-16 regions packed onto a single server… its easier to think of them as islands of virtual real estate, some are separate individual tiny islands of 256x256 meters, whereas others are joined to others of the same size. all of course, seperate from the continents which are owned by the company but land can be rented and such
privately owned land people can do whatever they want on it provided it isnt breaking law or TOS, and theres some weird shit that falls through the cracks.
the concept of SL is fascisnating, how it all works in the concept of a digital world, its been doing the metaverse 20 years before Mark Zuckerberg got the idea. the problem is, people are fucking freaks. and the metaverse is as freaky as they are.
HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Battlefield 2042. 5k hours.
b1rb@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Impressive. I didn’t know people exist with that many hours in this game but today I learned. As long as you had fun, that’s nice
HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Ehhhhhhhh. I had fun here and there primarily because I was playing with friends. I probably would have had more fun if I played something else though, sunk cost fallacy influenced me.
Alenalda@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For me, HC WoW
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I know right like regular WoW wasn’t already enough of a timesuck
ItsJannnneee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Stardew Valley.
yarn@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. I have at least 10k hours between both.
Slax@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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.
tiguwang@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Stardew Valley is not a bad game.
yarn@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Not for the first 400h, but after that what do you have going on? I have 6900 hours into SdV on Steam alone, and I have no idea why I keep coming back to something I’ve beat to perfection already.
Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It is a good came I just got tired of it due to the constant inventory management and the rapid day night cycle making me feel like I had to speed run everything.
Besides that the art, music, controls, and, aesthetic are all wonderful.
RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 year ago
but she was okay with Inquisition? I don’t get that at all. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve beat it several times. Inquisition is straight trash by comparison. I beat it once and was immensely disappointed. Because of that experience, I haven’t even considered trying Veilguard. I just know it can only be worse.
RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t get that actually, and neither does she lol. We both like Inquisition. It was a step back towards Origins in gameplay and the story was fantastic.
Even then, bad gameplay should be made up for (for her) by the story. Veilguard shits on everything David wrote and that’s what upsets her. It’s just flat out bad writing in every aspect.
Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 1 year ago
It’s just disappointing to see how drastically the series has changed. It started as a top-down strategy RPG, and now it’s just a generic hack-n-slash game. Game publishers have shied away from games like the original Dragon Age, because they want to sell as many units as possible. And they think generic hack-n-slash games sell better. Games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have proved that there is still a large demand for more traditional RPGs, but the publishers simply don’t want to take the risk.

Will we get Nethack 4.0 by 2050?
TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sooner than Halflife 2, I fear 😜
CasalSilva@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
Man, I’m into Sword of Convalaria. I’ve finished it once, then twice, and am now on my third play.
Iceman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Teals of Maj’Eyal. Nothing like a real fucking rouge like
SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 year ago

Bennu@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Is it?
Also it’s just a meme.
zakurei@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’ve been playing the Monster Hunter series since 2004 and have logged well over 10k hours.
Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They said bad games
zakurei@lemm.ee 1 year ago
For most of its over 20 year lifecycle, Monster Hunter was extremely niche and considered inaccessible and bad by the wider gaming populace. Complaints about the series are ongoing, even with the newest entry (PC gamers especially consider apocalyptic due to actual performance issues that need to be addressed). It’s always something, and especially with either very new players or very old vets, who either expect dark souls or yearn for the old days of attacking with the joystick.
I think it fits the description, as I’m sure the games being called “bad” by op certainly have a charm that drew someone’s deep attention. I know MH isn’t for everyone, but I’ll love it until the day I die, which, considering todays climate about mental health, probably won’t be that far off.
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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
I do also have minor autism.
Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 1 year ago
edit: also 2-300 hours in oldschool RuneScape lol
I have logged over 200 hours in RuneScape just this month.
It probably helps that I have a job where I can have it running next to me. At this point, it is basically just an idle game that I only need to touch every ~15 minutes to refresh my idle logout timer. Pretty much the only times it’s not running are when I’m asleep or physically away from a computer.
SlothMama@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.
MarkoB@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Finished playing through it just recently, seriously underrated imo.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Forspoken is one of the only 9th generation games I’m actually interested in.
SlothMama@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s legit brilliant, and I unironically love it.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Terraria currently. Satisfactory and DRG before.
MellowSnow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They said worst games, not best!
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Years ago, I played Homefront: The Revolution which was a ridiculous premise (North Korea magically invents and develops microcircuits in the 20th century instead of the US, and invades the US) but had solid weapons and a really great remote-control car bomb.
Its version of the flying cameras from Half Life 2 that actually identifies you and calls for reinforcements also was spot on.
It also had a pretty cool pause-screen song.
Then it had trouble working with computer upgrades, and I moved on to other things.

Did y’all hear about Rain World ?
y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I should probably take a picture, but at least 1500 hours on Project Cars 2 on PS4 / 5
Odelay42@lemmy.world 1 year ago
At least you you can probably drive better than 3/4 of the tech bros at a track day now.
y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Haha I did volunteer at a track for a bit and they paid me in rally car lessons, driving one of their WRXs through the woods, which was a blast.
They were convinced I’d done it before because before they taught me how, I was already good at left foot braking and could smoothly heel-toe while shifting, but in reality I hadn’t driven an IRL stick shift for more than a few hours at most. That’s not to say I didn’t make some silly mistakes though lol
Bought an FR-S recently and once I get some new tires on it, I’m gonna see how I do on a not-dirt track!
Anyway I’ve switched to PC now, if anyone wants to race…
levzzz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
rabber@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
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.
arin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have over 10k now but a lot is idle time waiting for match or friends
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I had 10k hours in DotA before DotA2 was even a thing. DotA2 never pulled me in quite the same, but even so the best day of my life was when I uninstalled that shit for good in 2015.
rabber@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I’ve tried a lot of drugs and dota is the strongest one I’ve had. Lol.
dai@lemmy.world 1 year ago
PlanetSide 2 for me, easily 8k hours into that game. Around 5k on my steam account alone.
So sad to see it’s still slowly collapsing, but I’ve not been on since the AU servers shut down years ago and the hackers took over the Asia server.
Mathazzar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ah, I have fond memories of PS2. I slowly stopped playing when I started finding less and less coherent platoons working together. I’d join squads that were spread all over the map. It had so many fun things with it too, but somewhere along the way I started losing interest.
arin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
DotA 2 is not the worst game… Right?
