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?
I would think probably Diablo 2 over the course of my childhood, although it’s hard to tell. It might be EVE Online, I was very much into that for a few years between 2010-2015 or so. And it’s not exactly a game you play casually, or at least I didn’t. Over the last decade it’s probably been Football Manager. 17 is the iteration I have the most hours in but I probably have a thousand hours combined across multiple editions across the last ten years.
EDIT: I actually managed to exorcise Dota from my memory, probably because of all the accumulated misery it has accrued. Yeah, that’s the one. Easily the most hours combined over Dota 1&2.
There’s a surprising lack of diablo in this thread. That and counter-strike were basically all I played in highschool.
