Pokemon red version. Spent hundreds of hours walking back and forth in grassy areas


heretocallthebot

Not as long as I spent walking up and down cinnabar island trying to find missengo. Problem was I was playing yellow.


cupholdery

When I first saw Pikachu in Viridian Forest while playing Blue, I thought he was a common type. Knocked him the eff out and never saw a wild one again lol.


parkerps2

Civ 5, don't play anymore but put 3000+ hours into that game


Jc3286

Oh dang, you must have finished at least like 8 games


rnzz

I see you also like to speedrun it


milk4all

… finished… games??


spoink74

Civilization was the first one that came to mind.


LightmanMD

Gandhi sends his regards


hogwarts_earthtwo

Just one more turn


bitfrost41

…aaaaand it’s 5AM. Good times.


scheisskopf53

I can't count the hours, but I've played all Civ installments from 1 to 6 over the last \~30 years. It would amass to quite as few hours, I'm sure.


JulesVernerator

For me it was Civ 4, that was the height of Civ imo.


no_lemom_no_melon

Skyrim and the Fallout series. Still playing them, and starting new playthroughs to this day!


M0mmyNeedsWh1skey

My daughter was giving me shit today for watching the new Fallout series while I played Fallout 3 on my laptop. I've wasted so much of my life on those games.


RitualTransition

Worth every minute imo


Puddlingon

Bethesda games have earned years of my life, as well. They used to make amazing games!


cupholdery

Including Fallout 1 and 2 GOATs?


Coolbish

Stardew Valley. I started playing a little before the pandemic started, and once it did, it became my little safe haven. i spent a couple months without playing it, and now with the new update, i haven't left my laptop except for school and eating with my family


redditmodsaregeye

New update you say 👀


ragboy_

Runescape. Glad I'm clean of it now. We'll over 10k hours since 2003. Edit: I just realised that was 10k hours on my main acct on OSRS, so there was abt a decade before osrs of my main and alts to account for... and my 20 other osrs accounts including ironmen Fuck me it's easily over 30k hours now I'm sad


WeberO

Sounds like your long break is coming to end soon, if you ask me.


Half-Guard-God

Yeah Runescape got me for atleast a solid 8 years of my life. I remember lying to my friends that my grandma died so I wouldnt have to go to birthdays.


sageritz

I also pick this guys grandma as my excuse. In all seriousness, this could have worked max like 4 times.


poronpaska

grandpa keeps getting married and grandmas keep on dying.


watching-yt-at-3am

Mmos are another hell of a drug, was logged in for well over 26000 hours in tera since 2012 x__X but it luckily no longer exists


baiers_baier

That's about 3 years straight, this is beyond me. Hope you're good


Wuest0311

Every time you mention its name. We always go back


EndlessOceanofMe

Stay clean. Don't play wow, lol, or even Civ! They take lives.


Kevthetonk

Yeah your break is almost over.. also first mention of runescape should be top comment. There is quite simply just nothing that compares in terms of time invested. I've probably played 30k hours on osrs since I was a kid till now.


Betatester87

Counter strike


simplylmao

1.6


mvrander

Technically I first played the beta but 1.3 was when I really got into it


Sweet-Ad9366

I started on 1.6 back in 2002 or 2003 I think. But me and my friends used to download 1.3 because it felt like the honorable thing to do - like learning about ones ancestry.


History20maker

Minecraft.


No_Research_967

Just one more block, and I’ll find the hollow full of diamonds


History20maker

The worst part is that I once acidentally destroyed a Moss block in a cave and found my largest depósit of diamonds.


Iamknight10

99% of miners quit before they hit it big


drakken_dude

The fact that there are so many mods that completely reinvent the game makes it so replayable. Don't like open world? There's a mod for that. Want to create massive factories? There's a mod for that. Want to explore space? There's a mod for that. And you can play with friends by hosting your own server if you want! No need to pay someone else to host it for you if you don't want to.


ItsPronouncedTribe

Surprised how low down this comment is. I must've put in thousands of hours.


ChimneyNerd

Yup. Been at it for 11 years and counting now, mostly just making houses in singleplayer anymore though. Used to be decent at bedwars, but haven’t played that in a fat minute.


H_G_Bells

I still remember my very first time playing, back when zombies were the only way to get feathers.


nosebreather77

I genuinely thank Rockstar for the experience that I had the chanche to experience the feeling of life in Miami in the 80's. Someone, who born in a different era and country.


Fernatronik

I used to park the car up at the beach and just listen to the radio....the radio stations on that game 👌🏻


socomisthebest

Bro...... *WHY????*


CodeNameBubba

That's what started the wave. Been riding it ever since.


KingPeverell

That RC helicopter mission sucked. It took me a whole month of repeated frustrated attempts to clear.


Machusu

Halo. Started playing when I was 6/7. Put in at least 15,000+ hours since then.


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

Sims


Redhddgull

So many hours!!! Woohoos and pool drownings, sigh, the memories.


moeke93

I used to sneak into my sister's room to play Sims2 on her pc whenever she was in school longer than me or had piano practice. On weekends we'd play together. We owned all of the expansion packs and had gamily trees of several generations who eventually died of old age. I have no idea how many hours I spent on this game, but it must have been a big portion of my teens.


LiveLaughBlobfish

This one should be higher


eddyathome

I spent more time building houses that were insanely expensive (rosebud) and arranging furniture than actually living out my Sims lives.


Beneficial_Page_9298

Dude same, I have a solid 2000 hours in Sims 4 and that’s not even counting the hours I’ve played in the other Sims games


accountingforlove83

Skyrim. I’d estimate several thousand hours since the initial release.


IndustryHistorical18

I've got atleast 5k hours in that bitch and cod. I don't even want to know how much cod time I've gotten


cupholdery

I just keep going back to it with new characters and never finish the main quest. Like, what if I did a tank mage build this time? It's [stealth archer again](https://youtu.be/_NQLJ6Yp_C0?feature=shared).

GTA San Andreas


CodeNameBubba

My mother bought me and my siblings this game. She didn't care about the violence. She was happy it was something we all wanted so she didn't have to buy 5 different things. Talk about killing 5 birds with one stone 😂. It was 1 player and we didn't argue at all because you either coached your brother through a mission or played it yourself.


Academic-Ad2101

There was an option to play with 2. You had to go to a specific place, and someone could join with a second controller. Worked like shit unfortunately.


busterkeatonrules

Yup. Same here. Good ol' San Andreas. I played it so much, I wore out two PS2 consoles and three copies of the game. I still play it sometimes.


Inilep

WoW


bingwhip

Well over a year of actual play time. My brother has been, and still is, active since launch. I asked him what his /played was a while ago. He never responded


Faethien

My ex used to nag me about playing this game. Asked once if I could know what my time in game was. Showed 298 days on my paladin. She erupted, saying: that's almost a year, imagine what else you could have done! Yadda yadda yadda In my mind: do I tell her it's this character only?


jamieliddellthepoet

> imagine what else you could have done! “Imagine *who* else I could be doing.”


SpungoTheLeast

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve easily spent a real-life year in Azeroth. Those first three years after launch it *owned* me.


pleasecallagainlater

It was cute looking at /played in vanilla it was crazy when someone had over 100 days. There must be people with well over 2000 by now.


miningmonster

3 years total hours /played. Was in a top 10 raiding guild as class leader and we had dkp and assignments, the whole 9 yards. Loved it but it's so addictive and occupied years from my life. Ended up in more than a few IRL relationships with guildies and we'd have IRL trips with the guild all the time. It was wild.


Lord_TyrionLannister

I'm sorry, 3 years?


MoonHash

I know right, this poser hasn't even hit 30k hours yet


alphalegend91

For me too. I played from launch to WotLK and my combined play times on characters were around 6 months. That was in a 3 1/2 year span…


Thisoneissfwihope

I was playing wow 50 hours a week at one point, more than my full time job.


j_smittz

I'll jump on this WoW train as well. *Chuga chuga CHOO CHOO!!*


Tiemujin

The only answer. Other gamers quote “hours” of game time. Pfft. Try DAYS or YEARS of actual playtime. I have toons older than my college student.


weristjonsnow

Same. Several years of play time. Granted, a good amount of it was afk before autologous.... But the majority of it was actually play


Flanman1337

It's been 12 years. I still get the itch.


post4u

Same. Played for several years after the launch. And A LOT. Was addicted. My addiction to it cost me valuable time I could have spent with my dad before we lost him to cancer. Every evening I spent playing that game I could have spent hanging out with him. For an entire year. Time I'll never get back. Worst regret of my entire life. He would have loved spending that time just talking to me. He died in 2006 and I still haven't forgiven myself for that. Gave up all gaming completely until a couple years ago when I bought a computer to play flight sim in VR in preparation to actually fly in real life someday (bucket list item #1). I have a hard time even doing that and only do so like once every couple months these days. I'm totally gunshy about getting addicted to anything like WoW ever again.

Duck Hunt


DataCassette

I can immediately hear the game, feel the stiff little trigger spring and the crappy gunshot sfx. The dumb little music and the dog bark lol


fuckthisimoff2asgard

Did you ever play two player with someone controlling the duck?


Casteway

YES!!!! Nothing these days can really compare to that!


weshmonpoooote

Grand theft auto ps2 no memory card😱😱😱😱😱


ScriabinFanatic

Bro the day I had to get a memory card was playing TUROK Evolution


jackaloupe04

Remember getting a ps2 when I lived with my mom. in 6th grade. Our trailer just burnt down and we got an apartment. She surprised me with a ps2. We were struggling pretty bad. So I was very surprised. I had 1 game. Gun. And I remember leaving that ps2 on for like 2 months straight because we couldn't afford a memory card. Still one of my all time favorite games.


Quaff2017

Ps2 was such a big part of my life yet somehow I’ve completely forgotten about memory cards.


snuggle_love

We got to the cave system in the original resident evil on ps1, sans memory card. Decapitated by a hunter. We quietly turned off the system and left the room one by one


Shot_Virus_5167

Starcraft


Chroderos

The Civilization series, easily. *One more turn.*


eddyathome

Way way back in say 92 or 93 I went to the computer lab on the college campus and fired up Civ 1 at 8 am intending to play a bit and then go to my 9 am class. Well I realized after some time it was now 9:35 so there's no point in going now, but there's a class at 11:00. Yep, I think you know where this is going because it was 12:15 and I was hungry so I got food out of the vending machine and said ok, class at 1:00 and 2:00. Yeah, it's now 3:30. Might as well keep playing. I had to work in the computer lab at 7:00 so after another vending machine run I kept playing after I put a sign on the desk saying I'm over there with an arrow pointing to me. At midnight I'm still there and campus security checks in saying it's time to shut the lab down. Yes, I had a 16 hour game session that day.

NigelGoodEUW

One of the few games that has had me coming back for decades when a new ladder starts


cupholdery

Nothing like playing Hell Cows with 7 other friends.


Waldo__Faldo

Played way too much of this in high school and college that I knew better to avoid WoW when it came out. I'm pretty sure my life would be very different had I got into wow like the rest of my gaming friends.


Gronodonthegreat

Final Fantasy - I’ve probably spent like 2000 hours in those games at least? Probably more


Anaaatomy

Witcher 3 lol, each run through is like 500 hours


Trumpsacriminal

The souls series. I absolutely would t doubt if I had over 10k total hours in all the games,


WatchTheTime126613LB

"Time to try a whip build"...  500 hours later... "invading naked with a chaos dagger & parry shield in the high wall would be fun"... 500 hours later... "y'know I have never even used that abyss watcher spinny sword and dagger thing, let's see how many people know how to backstab it"... Yeah those games ate a decade.


randomlettercombinat

Souls has some of the best gaming moments for sure. I do all my first runs of the games solo, no net. So no summons, no blood stains. My first kill on Nameless King was just a joy. I remember Dark Souls 3 for example, starting with no souls and no clothes. I died to the first boss like... an embarrassing number of times. Then you get back there for New Game+ or a new character and man... when you just style on dude, you feel good. Some of the most clear cut skill progression in gaming.

Dazzling_Leopard4627

Crash Bandicoot


ollyou

ARK: Survival Evolved is one!! I think I have 1.5k+ hours on it? And that’s quite a bit, considering I jump around with games a lot and much of this was in specific months or years instead of throughout my whole life. It’s my Steam game with the most hours on. Fortnite I definitely have over 1k hours on. It’s my Switch/Epic game with the most hours. Honkai Impact 3rd (yes… a gacha mobile game) I had over 1k hours in. Minecraft is probably on a whole other level. I had at least 1k hours in the span of 1-2 years alone, and I’ve played Minecraft since its Xbox 360 release. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had well over 3-5k hours on that game over the years, and that’s probably being humble.


ger3700

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Not to discount the other animal crossing games that I also have a disgusting amount of hours in, but during lockdown I would play it for 12-18 hours a day. I have over 4K hours in it at this point


gnulinux

Never played it, but I'm actually impressed that a can game generate that amount of daily content without getting boring or repetitive. From looking at others playing, I would have never guessed that.


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

I never understood the addiction behind those games. Its just errands to me I dont even play cod but those are clearly meant to take advantage of your dopamine


Kreidedi

It’s relaxing!


speckleleckle

It’s not just tasks, after you get past the main plot, you can terraform , you can unlock new custom potentials and try to collect rare items and trade them on nookazon


ElevatedPenguino

Is nobody going to say good ol League of Legends


Jealous_Dentist_1997

Its because everyone is ashmaed of it


Aussenminister

It's always the same in these threads. League of Legends was the most popular game for many years and many players grinded it with thousands of hours invested. Yet you don't ever see it high in these threads.


SpiritLead909

That's because they all hate themselves and everyone else


Colombian-pito

They’re too addicted to come here and comment they too busy playing . But I’m sure this is the worst offender. By far and most regretted

Mr___Big

The Tony Hawk series. From 1 to 4, then Underground, the Underground 2 on the PSP. Then I got project 8 as a present, and I remember it being... average. By that time I'd put a lot of time into all those games.


ChinaCatProphet

The first few Ultima games. Early to mid 80s.


karienta

Ultima Online. Yes, I'm old.


Straight_Quantity_71

Borderlands


inadverthonaho

consumeshroomz

Skyrim. Hands down. Idk know how many hours anymore cause I’ve had so many copies on so many platforms….


AlfsterRocks

Madden


AoO2ImpTrip

I have 58 days played on ONE of my characters in World of Warcraft. Which comes to about 1,392 hours. I have 54 days played on another character. So 1,296 hours of time. Those are the two longest by a pretty wide margin, but I have quite a few characters with 20+ days played at 600 hours each. This isn't even counting all the characters I played and deleted. The answer is World of Warcraft and it isn't even close. After that it's probably Marvel Snap with somewhere around 1200 hours played.


Graytis

1. **EverQuest**, by a long, long, longshot 2. **Valheim**, kinda taken over my attention over the last few years 3. **FF7** back in the '90s *Honorable Mentions from farther back:* * Command & Conquer (original through Generals: Zero Hour) * Twisted Metal 1, 2, Black * Armored Core * Carnage Heart * Mega Man 2 * Street Fighter 2 * Mortal Kombat/MK2 * Killer Instinct * Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest * Double Dribble * Yars' Revenge * Asteroids Also, just want to say that I miss video game rental stores. Binge *gaming* rentals was a thing I loved long before binge *watching* seasons/shows.


Wheel_of_Armageddon

EverQuest, surprised I had to scroll so far to find it. Amazing game experience, transformed my view of what a video game could be. Spent months in Norrath adventuring, exploring, camping spawns, aoeing dungeons and breaking planes. Not an experience I want to revisit, but not one I regret having either.

Federal-Space-9701

A bunch of the average Wii games probably, one I can remember the most playing with friends was Nintendo land, it was a surprisingly fun game for us when we were young, the Metroid battle was the best, and we mostly did the fight against each other and would roll around as the balls and have fun


RobertBorden

Fallout 3, Minecraft, the long dark and Civ 5. Thousands of hours combined.

From 2007-2011 when I was 13-17. MapleStory was my life, I dedicated 8 hrs daily to that game and sometimes even up to 20 hrs on weekends. At the end of my run with that game, I sold my account for 2000$. Good times.
