Old retail, way before steam versions. Actually, I installed steam when I bought Half Life 2 as it was needed. Still I remember this old military green UI.
Probably had more time clocked with old Atari and NES games.
Counterstrike, started with beta 3 or 4 and played every version up to Global Offensive.
Diablo II + LoD, started playing when the battle chest came out and haven’t stopped since then. Which means, every once in a year or two, I re-install D2 and play it for a few month.
Windows Solitaire, best game ever!
Grim Dawn, right now at 770 hours and I’m pretty sure it will never get to 1. place, even with 7k hours played.
Titan Quest, Grim Dawn and Diablo 2 are all at the top of the list. Played them so much its several thousand hours each.
Various MMO’s from The Realm, Wish, Asheron’s Call, Dark Age of Camelot, WoW. Haven’t touched this genre since 2009 since its so dull and lacking innovative fresh ideas. That each new MMORPG is just boring reskins that can’t hold my attention more then a few hours.
Dragon Age Origins/Awakenings. 15-16 playthroughs over the years at 70 hours per play.
Unreal Tournament is something I played a ton of, even competitively, when I was younger. Mplay.com organised e-sport competitions before it was bought by Gamespy. No idea if gamespy even exists these days.
Xcom - played a ton of those as well.
Then you get to the mass effect playthroughs, Witcher 3, Elder Scrolls DaggerFall/Morrowind/Oblivion, final fantasies which are around 200-300 hours each
Borderlands/Monster Hunter games usually around 150 hours before I get bored with them.
xD Funny thread, as others have mentionned, I have no idea about the time I spent on those before I entered the steam-era.
Pre-Steam :
TES (3) Construction Set (Mod tool)
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction
Titan Quest Immortal Throne
Neverwinter Nights 2
Post-2010-Steam : (between 1K & 3K hours)
Spiral Knights (A stupidly addictive and simplistic mmo, mostly I played PvP)
Defiance (it wasn’t that good of a mmo, but once you meet a few friends you know…)
Grim Dawn
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
01: Lord of the rings online (been playing since release of 2007, thousands hours)
02: FF7-8-9 (jesus christ so many hours)
03: Warframe (been playing since beta and being a founder)
04: Grim Dawn (It came so late in my life simply my fave Arpg, many many hours and still counting)
05: Doom(all of them)
06: Champions of Norrath+Baldurs gate (the good ol PS2 fave titles, still i would play them again with friends couch to couch)
For me, nothing beats the morphine feeling I get when I play Elder Scrolls games. A guilty pleasure, I guess.
Skyrim 2000+ hours
Oblivion 2000+ hours
World of Warcraft… didn’t keep track. I didnt play it as much as a lot of early adopters, however.
Guild Wars 1; this was my MMO when most people played WoW. I didn’t have a way to pay WoW’s subscription fees, so I stuck with Guild Wars. I still miss this game in that nostalgic existential way… everyone has a few games like that.
In no specific order: Total War games, Fallout games, Grim Dawn, Diablo III, Heroes of the Storm.
uh… Maybe Fable - Lost Chapters or Gothic 3, hard to say if maybe Titan Quest, rather one of these three
Grim Dawn
I am sure for 1, 3 and 5 because Cultures was the game I only played for like over 4 years straight if not more, Silkroad was kind of decently played by me for a year, maybe two, maybe even three but for sure not more. Grim Dawn is just new to me and yeah, only 621 hours.
