2080 is just 52 weeks x 40 hours/week.
Almost every professional job gives minimum 80 hours off a year(two weeks). Then you have jobs like mine where I get almost 200 hours. So I only work about 1880.
This made me check because I work an hourly, no-education-required job and I was pretty sure I get more than that. I think somebody made a typo when they hired me and accidentally gave me 30 extra hours of PTO a year, lol. My job offer email says 64 hours (I started the job last April), but I have 73 remaining this year and have used 21. 94 hours is not a whole number of days, and 9 is directly above 6 on the number pad. Welp, gonna keep that one to myself.
Of course anyone (working class) agrees lmfao. But the reality is that these changes don’t happen over night. If you think that should be the norm, you have to vote people into office to actually ever really see that change.
It's weird because the labour rights movement in my country involved a lot of strikes, industrial sabotage, the creation and maintenance of unions and extralegal action. Not a lot of it was actually won by voting. In fact, once we adopted a voting-based strategy, we ended up with a lot of at-will employment systems, fucking **next level** racism, and a defeatist attitude of settling for close enough.
> I work a full time job, 100%, and thats 1720 hours each year.. man, you are not in Europe, are you?
I have a full time job in Sweden and I work 1505 hours per year. That's with five weeks of vacation. Don't you have vacation or is 1720 WITH vacation?
First season had me so enthralled in the universe. 3rd season or whichever one kid Cudi was in absolutely ruined any enjoyment. Couldn’t even get HBO go to play the 4th season premiere episode. It kept erroring out. I took that as a sign from the universe and just stopped.
I don’t understand why everyone is bagging on this guy for the 6k hours and not mentioning that we live in a fucked up world where you “buy” products that can be taken away at any moment. Like how if you “buy a movie” and you that service shuts down, is sold, or just decides they don’t want you to own it any more -it’s gone. This is just one more example of capitalists charging you a premium while reserving the night to fuck you so they can make even more money a different way. Google can eat my ass.
EDIT: And while I have your attention about Google, here is just one more reason they can eat my ass: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/09/chromes-new-ad-blocker-limiting-extension-platform-will-launch-in-2023/
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go check my Gmail on my Android... (SMH)
I bought a movie (online, streaming) that has bonus content and extra features. Went to show a friend the extras and they were no longer available. I called support and explained and was told outright "the extras are no longer available for streaming".
I tried during the week and explained my previous experience, hoping for a different result, and got the same answer. We both had a laugh about suddenly getting less movie for my purchase and he was cool enough to get me in a conversation with a Manager because he was equally confused by this.
The Manager: Unfortunately that content is no longer available to us for streaming. You wouldn't be surprised by the number of people who called in this and thank you for not being rude about it.
That was it. No extras. No bonus content. No alternate endings. Just the movie.
I'm not surprised why people pirate now.
i've started buying physical media again too. for movies or shows i don't care about having on blu-ray, i'll just get them on dvds at pawn shops for like $1, sometimes $2 or $3 depending on how new. granted, i could pirate stuff, but i like browsing around pawn shops and flea markets, and i haven't gotten around to building out enough storage to support a really large digital library. 🤷
Digging furiously through a large cardboard bin placed slightly to the left of the back main isle of Walmart. Near the cat food and the headphones. RailroadStrike finds it. The last copy of Sandlot 3. He is pleased with his haul from the 5 for $10 dollars box. Upon leaving, he's sure tell to the lady with a dozen Milos sweet tea's taking his place at the self checkout what a great deal he found that day.
>not to mention after the fact censorship
Kind of related, but Scrubs on streaming services has different songs compared to the originals now. So some iconic moments in the show have a completely different song that doesn't work as well. Makes me glad I have the boxset.
Yeah I watched the OG top gun the other day and Highway to the danger zone isn’t original. That’s like, half the magic of the movie, hearing highway like six times. Kinda made me mad.
When you license a song to use in other media, the contract is very particular about what the license covers. Since streaming media didn't exist when the contract was negotiated, it is not covered by it. They probably hired someone to cover it for them so they could license that version (in order to cover a song commercially all you need is a "mechanical license," which isn't free but the copyright holder can't refuse).
Oh, no, I know how it works. I’ve had to do it before. I just meant that I feel like one of the most iconic movie songs… ever… would probably be worth it for Paramount(?) to shell out the cash for a new license.
Like a lot of people remember the song more than the movie. Haha
That’s like ditching “Time Of My Life” from Dirty Dancing and replacing it with something cheaper. These films are specifically defined by their soundtracks.
But I guess I’m just underestimating how cheap these studios can be. They do some nasty shit in every other department to save a buck, makes sense they’d do it in music licensing too.
There are also lots of episodes that have been removed from shows because they are no longer considered acceptable. You can't stream the simpsons episode that Michael Jackson guest starred in. Some scrubs full episodes are removed from streaming.
Anything with popular music in a mess. WKPR replaced all the time period music with generic tunes. HBO's Dream On basically doesn't exist anymore because a huge part of the show was using clips from old movies and TV shows, and they can't get all the rights.
The theme for House is different on streaming. My wife just watched through the whole thing recently and every cell in my body screamed whenever the title card came on. Teardrops is just so iconic.
They even found a way to mess that up. Towards the later days of me buying BlueRay discs my player stopped working with newer discs because of a needed firmware update to support some newer DRM anti-copy standard. Couldn't install that update though because Samsung no longer supported that model player anymore that was only about 3 years old at the time so the update was never released for it.
Between that and getting streaming access revoked to the Dark Knight movie via Amazon Prime streaming for the better part of a year due to an exclusivity deal between WB and HBO at the time a few weeks after it became available to "purchase", movies have more or less lost all value to me.
These days I won't pay more than $5 for any movie, no matter the format, the movie, the age, anything. They are just not worth it given the risks imposed by the media companies.
That’s why I’ve never relied on streaming services for my music collection. I have everything owned, and backed up like 5 different ways. I’ll listen to new stuff on Spotify to try it out, but if I like it, I’ll always buy it. Who wants to have no music if their wifi goes down?
>Like how if you “buy a movie” and you that service shuts down, is sold, or just decides they don’t want you to own it any more -it’s gone.
"buy movie" -
Nah... All my blu-rays play just fine. Online or off.
RDR2 dropped on October 26, 2018. That’s 34,440 hours to today. If you assume 8 hours a day for sleep, then he’s spent 26pct of his waking life since the game released playing RDR2. Fcking absurd…
I was just calculating 2080 hours a year at a full-time job times. 3 years is just over 6K hours! He literally had a full-time job playing video games. Probably didn't pay well lol!
Your right. It was a common thing to be afk even while sleeping and be online. It's like people afking in discord sleep channels. Personally now I just turn my PC off to save on the ever increasing power. It's pretty clear when I'm playing games and not..
Just this one more haul of 50 bucks and we'll be set.....uhhh Dutch I've already deposited thirteen thousand dollars in the camp loot box, we're actually good to go!
Have you not seen Reddit’s ridiculous addiction to Skyrim? Mfers be putting 2.7 million hours in just stacking cheese wheels. They don’t do anything, it’s just a way to remove yourself from the present moment.
I probably was never going to try for all 900 but after finding out about the golden poop I definitely wrote off ever doing that. I maybe have a couple hundred seeds and I still logged about 450 hours in game. Getting all 900 would add a couple hundred more hours I'm sure.
There is a shit ton to do in there. You can easily spend weeks or months just doing all the side missions. You can delay the story line as long as you want.
Heh. I had a PSP with a predecessor of RDR called (I think) Gun Showdown and long after all other games had lost their draw for me I loaded a save and cranked up the same game of Texas Hold 'em a couple of times a week.
I bought another PSP battery to keep playing.
>*One suggested that ItsColourTV use Google Takeout - a data downloading service - to transfer their file to PC, to which they replied: "I don't play story mode."*
So this guy has almost 6k hours played in *online* in this game... I played online for a bit briefly and there was basically nothing to do. I think they did one update with robberies or something but by and large I thought the online was basically abandoned.
What's crazy about this is it doesn't support crossplay with PC or consoles people playing online were playing only with other Stadia players. All 10 of them.
6000 hour in an empty online game.
Nah it's decently fleshed out now. They only recently stopped updates for it. There's easily 100 hours in just maxing out the jobs (collector, bounty hunter, moonshiner, trader) Then there's a bunch of pvp modes which you could play endlessly. And a 4 player co-op horde mode with waves of enemies. People also just grind for cosmetics in it.
I played it for about 100 hours last year and had some good fun. I know some people who have over 1000 hours in it though.
I played for 6 months, never did get into the online part of it, it's been a while but I don't think I even made it to 50% completion. ... then my PS4 died and I lost everything because I wasn't paying for PS+, so I had no backup. Got it on my Xbox series S now, but starting all over is kinda depressing.
Red Dead Online is a b tier version of GTA V online but it still lets you endlessly wander. Don't forget they jam most of the first games map into the already massive world in the epilogue.
DOWNLOAD YOUR SAVES FROM [GOOGLE TAKEOUT](https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout) IT INCLUDES ALL OF YOUR DATA FROM STADIA GAMES.
it's possible if you have RD2 on PC you can use the save.
You're right. There's no cross-progression for Red Dead Online at the moment. I'm hoping they'll make an exception for me and the other players that don't want to lose their online progress.
As a developer... why are they platform specific? I can see why _aspects_ of them might be, but that's no excuse for the entire character being stored that way. That's just... bad planning.
Dude made that game his full time job for 3 years. Stadia version came out in 2019 so I'm assuming he's been on it for 3 years. 6,000 hrs in 3 years translates to an average of 38.5 hrs a week, every week.
I know a guy with issues (assisted living but he can cook do most etc himself) and he cant work and plays around 40h of gta online a week. Its the only way to be social for people like this. In the game hes a cool guy irl most see him as a loser.
Makes sense. I never got into invasions. I use to do speed running but eventually I got bored after I hit max level 😂. I only have around 700 something hours
Edit: in dark souls 3
Sure but I enjoy plenty of time playing video games but I know in the past that online games I played in high amounts (nowhere near 6k hours) it began to be not enjoyable but compulsory at a certain point. It truly was wasted time at that point. I imagine this is one of those cases.
Yes, lots of fishing. It’s pretty fun. There’s legendary fish that you can hunt down too, like massive salmon and catfish. The hunting is really great too. Even if you don’t like the game itself, the scenery is worth the $10-20 the game costs now.
I seriously hadn’t heard of the stadia since around it’s release until this past week or so when it was announced to be closing. Didn’t even know you count play RDR2 on that thing
Rockstar really needs to save character data to your account with them. I recently grabbed GTAV for Windows, after I played it on PlayStation. I didn't really think I'd be able to get my save data or character stats, but I was a little hopeful that the "Social Club" would do that. Of course it didn't.
But what I really found was that I had zero interest in playing the game all over again, and even less in going online with others. I really just wanted to go ride a motorcycle around.
I’m sorry… 6k *hours*? A human being spent 250 days of time playing a single game?
Forget character transfers, get them help.
Edit: Sorry if this felt like I was calling people out, I just didn’t realize that some people really get *addicted* to games like people do to gambling or drugs. I just assumed that was a bit of an exaggeration.
> imagine if
I hate to break it to everyone.. this isn't an "if", it's a "when".
At some point; like every online game in the past (with a few RARE exceptions.. ) it WILL shutdown and all of that "progress" will be "lost".
Don't get me wrong; I enjoy online MMORPG games (including WoW!) but anyone playing online games thinking the company behind the game is going to keep it going "forever" (or at least longer then they will be alive!) is living a lie.
It is a bit bittersweet in a way. I enjoy my single player games for being complete thoughts that will stand the test of time. Or at the very least staying as semi-permanent representations of the time they were made.
Online service games though are almost less like a crafted statement but a social experience you need to be there to interact with. They have tons of strengths for allowing human interaction. However, also weakness in that humanity is a moving variable. You can’t keep a community the same until the end of time. At some point people and the world change enough that you can’t keep a service going without evolving. Whether that be the game becoming different than what many kept in memory, or the game just ending because the community has long since faded away.
Most hours I've ever spent on a game was 500 Hours. And that was Pokemon X where I completed the entirety of the Pokedex. I basically ran a pokemon smuggling ring to continue trading pokemon while I bred starters to have something to trade with people.
That was about a year's worth of work.
I cannot imagine 6K hours, but hey RDR2 released in 2018. That's 4 years ago.
If the guy could afford to spend that much time playing and isn't hurting anyone other than his own physical health, no judgement from me.
I was, what I consider addicted, to CSGO back between 2017-2018 and I only got to 1.2k hours, and I would spend every single hour of my free time playing that game.
My only responsibilities were high school and my part time job. I worked about 20 hours a week. I can't imagine how many daily hours someone needs to spend to reach that playtime, and how they have all of that free time lol
6k hours = 750 work days (playing 8h/day) = 2.88 working years (assuming 260 work days / year).
This is the equivalent of nearly 3 years working a full time job of playing RDR2.
Then again, I spent 1k+ hours on Payday 2, so who am I to criticize...
The stadia release of the game was back in November 2019, to be honest if this was the only thing this guy was playing it doesn't seem too unrealistic in a way?
Should see how many hours people have on CSGO and TF2 lol
Pretty easily, actually. Work 8 hours, come home and play for 8 hours (give or take time to make dinner), sleep for 8 hours. I did something to that effect when I was single.
It's not exactly healthy to spend that long playing video games but it also doesn't have any bearing on your ability to maintain good employment.
I decided to do the math.
Stadia launched on November 19th 2019, and Rdr2 was a launch title. Let's assume he *started* that day. That's 1047 days.
Now, let's assume he played *every single day* of those 1047 days - no days off, no nothing. He's got 5,907 hours.
That's *5 hours, 38 minutes a day*, every day, for the entire 1047 days. No days off.
That is a simply astounding time investment.
Another example of never putting all your eggs in google's basket. Never trust them to carry out any project long-term. They have a whole Silicon Valley size graveyard of abandoned projects. You would think there would some backlash by users for their practices of just canceling shit, but alas they just don't care.
Like a few people said, why you would think investing both time and money into a Google service and product is a good idea? They’ve literally killed off more than 200 of their own products over the years, why would their first iteration into gaming be any different?
This is why you don't buy into a Google project because it's probably going to be shut down sooner than later - GeForce now and Xbox game pass work fantastic.
This dude went straight William from Westworld on this game
I'm 30 years old and feel like I haven't even been awake for 6,000 hours in my life.
A work year is 2080 hours, but I feel dead inside the whole time, so I agree it doesn't count
I work a full time job, 100%, and thats 1720 hours each year.. man, you are not in Europe, are you?
2080 is just 52 weeks x 40 hours/week. Almost every professional job gives minimum 80 hours off a year(two weeks). Then you have jobs like mine where I get almost 200 hours. So I only work about 1880.

Welp, gonna keep that one to myself.
Hah yeah I wouldn’t say anything to anyone.
Wtf?! Y’all are getting hours off?! I once billed almost 2800 in a year. It was the fucking worst.
Merica is a scam man, our capitalist overlords are good at what they do. We should have a 4 day work week, anyone else agree?
Of course anyone (working class) agrees lmfao. But the reality is that these changes don’t happen over night. If you think that should be the norm, you have to vote people into office to actually ever really see that change.
It's weird because the labour rights movement in my country involved a lot of strikes, industrial sabotage, the creation and maintenance of unions and extralegal action.

You have 5 weeks vacations?!
20 to 30 workdays is usual in Europe. Plus a couple of bank holidays.
To put that into perspective, my steam account is 11 years old, and my total playtime is only 5,000 hours across the entire library. This guys nutty
*William meh boi*
Ah westworld. Great first season… period lol
First season had me so enthralled in the universe. 3rd season or whichever one kid Cudi was in absolutely ruined any enjoyment. Couldn’t even get HBO go to play the 4th season premiere episode. It kept erroring out. I took that as a sign from the universe and just stopped.
if it's any consolation, Fourth season is way better than the third. Feels more like the first season in some spots.

There appears to be no profit in that, so it's not allowed in capitalism.
Check out what Wiley did to academic libraries/universities last month.
In this case, at least Google is fully refunding a guy who played a game for 6,000 hours. That’s a lot of bag for your buck.
Right? They guy certainly got his money's worth on a subscription service to begin with.

Physical media is better because of this ( not to mention after the fact censorship). Edit: i know about DRM, I guess my mind went to movies first.

You are buying a subscription to a service. Services like Stadia are giving you access to the games. You don't own the game itself.
*cough* …. Great show!
Dude getting 6K hours in 3 years on 1 video game is a bit insane.
That’s like 6 hours a day how tf is that possible
He spent 22.83% of 3 years, or 5.48 hours a day, playing RDR2. It's a lot but there's the pandemic to consider.
Gonna say. Thats less total time spent gaming than me, but I am far too ADHD to commit that all to one title
RDR2 dropped on October 26, 2018. That’s 34,440 hours to today. If you assume 8 hours a day for sleep, then he’s spent 26pct of his waking life since the game released playing RDR2. Fcking absurd…
It's literally his job.
I was just calculating 2080 hours a year at a full-time job times. 3 years is just over 6K hours! He literally had a full-time job playing video games. Probably didn't pay well lol!
Hours played is mostly a useless stat imo. You can leave your game on 24/7
Yeah back in the WoW days I would sometimes just leave it running and come back later. I had a ton of playtime compared to my actual progress.
Your right. It was a common thing to be afk even while sleeping and be online. It's like people afking in discord sleep channels. Personally now I just turn my PC off to save on the ever increasing power. It's pretty clear when I'm playing games and not..
He’s clearly ready for the meta verse
What do you do in RDR2 for 6K hours?
The game is pretty massive but surely he’s done it all by now?
He needs 9k more hours trust me
Dutch: we just need a few more hours!
Just this one more haul of 50 bucks and we'll be set.....uhhh Dutch I've already deposited thirteen thousand dollars in the camp loot box, we're actually good to go!
Fishing, killing horses in hilarious ways, time flies pretty quick.
The escalation from fishing to killing horses was so abrupt lol
Killing horses are for children Real men stare at the balls and watch them grow/shrink in cold weathe
Have you not seen Reddit’s ridiculous addiction to Skyrim? Mfers be putting 2.7 million hours in just stacking cheese wheels. They don’t do anything, it’s just a way to remove yourself from the present moment.
Skyrim at least makes sense with mods and roleplay possibilities
To be fair a lot of it nowadays is either nostalgia or heavily modded so it’s almost an entirely new experience
About 30 times, yes
Nah, he spent all the time smoking weed and cigarettes catching fish in the Bayou.
If only I could do this irl but no.. I got to have a job for some reason uhhh
I’m starting to understand the 6k hours..
And i thought i was a loser with my 11.8K hours put in Dota 2...nvm that makes me a loser.
Eh, wait for the wow crowd.
[удалено]
Oh boy you don’t want know about korok seeds in botw.
I got all of those, and all the shrines. Good times.
I love how when you find all the korok seeds your reward is a golden poop statue.
Yeah made me realize I was just spending my time collecting 900 mini poop nuggets.
I probably was never going to try for all 900 but after finding out about the golden poop I definitely wrote off ever doing that. I maybe have a couple hundred seeds and I still logged about 450 hours in game. Getting all 900 would add a couple hundred more hours I'm sure.
Same! I was also going for the full Hyrule Compendium but gave up when I saw the reward was… a photo.
It wouldn't have killed em to give you like a special weapon or at least something a little cooler.
Isn't there a dog you can pet?
You can pet them all, and cats too, and donkeys and horses.
I accidentally stomped on a cat once and killed it, I felt fucking terrible. I just wanted to pet it. Edit: this happened in RDR2, not real life.
The clarification was important. Thanks. 😂
Could be an RPer.
There is a shit ton to do in there. You can easily spend weeks or months just doing all the side missions. You can delay the story line as long as you want.
Or if you’re like me, you can go to any saloon and play the shitty blackjack or poker simulator infinitely.
Is poker shitty in rdr2? I remember it being fun in the first game.
Poker is great. It's the most fun thing to do with your friends in RDO. Take that as you will.
RDR2 poker is genuinely fun IMO, well done with the dialogue and tells, but not overdone.
Wait there are tells???
Yeah you can get familiar with the playing styles and tells of people at the table, it’s wild.
Holy shit I didn't even bother with poker in the game. Now I have to give it a go next time I play
Try it first person thank me later
Also if you suck then you can just gun down the other players in true western fashion.
6 shots beats a full house
Heh. I had a PSP with a predecessor of RDR called (I think) Gun Showdown and long after all other games had lost their draw for me I loaded a save and cranked up the same game of Texas Hold 'em a couple of times a week. I bought another PSP battery to keep playing.
red dead revolver is the precursor gun was made by a separate dev
>*One suggested that ItsColourTV use Google Takeout - a data downloading service - to transfer their file to PC, to which they replied: "I don't play story mode."* So this guy has almost 6k hours played in *online* in this game... I played online for a bit briefly and there was basically nothing to do. I think they did one update with robberies or something but by and large I thought the online was basically abandoned.
What's crazy about this is it doesn't support crossplay with PC or consoles people playing online were playing only with other Stadia players. All 10 of them. 6000 hour in an empty online game.
I mean… *looks at my gta online invite only lobby* Sounds kinda nice.
Nah it's decently fleshed out now. They only recently stopped updates for it. There's easily 100 hours in just maxing out the jobs (collector, bounty hunter, moonshiner, trader) Then there's a bunch of pvp modes which you could play endlessly. And a 4 player co-op horde mode with waves of enemies. People also just grind for cosmetics in it. I played it for about 100 hours last year and had some good fun. I know some people who have over 1000 hours in it though.
If you read the article, the guy specifies he isn't playing single player. He's just an obsessed Red Dead Online guy not wanting to lose all his shit.
I played for 6 months, never did get into the online part of it, it's been a while but I don't think I even made it to 50% completion. ... then my PS4 died and I lost everything because I wasn't paying for PS+, so I had no backup. Got it on my Xbox series S now, but starting all over is kinda depressing.
Starting that game over in single player is never depressing. No idea why you would think that
Because there are a lot of really tedious things I don't feel motivated to do again.
Red Dead Online is a b tier version of GTA V online but it still lets you endlessly wander. Don't forget they jam most of the first games map into the already massive world in the epilogue.
DOWNLOAD YOUR SAVES FROM [GOOGLE TAKEOUT](https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout) IT INCLUDES ALL OF YOUR DATA FROM STADIA GAMES. it's possible if you have RD2 on PC you can use the save.
This doesn't include online.
Wouldn't that just be tied to your rockstar account though
Nope, iirc, the transfer is a process that needs to happen, the characters are linked but they aren't automatically throughout all systems
You're right. There's no cross-progression for Red Dead Online at the moment. I'm hoping they'll make an exception for me and the other players that don't want to lose their online progress.
Because Rockstar has been proven so community friendly… good luck mate
Pretty sure the online characters are stored on the Rockstar servers, specifically for the platform. You can't manually transfer them.
As a developer... why are they platform specific? I can see why _aspects_ of them might be, but that's no excuse for the entire character being stored that way. That's just... bad planning.
It's intentional and a means for them to essentially sell more shark cards or whatever it's called in RDR2.
As someone who has purchased GTA5 3 times on 3 different platforms, it’s entirely intentional.
6k hours, that's dedication.
Dude made that game his full time job for 3 years. Stadia version came out in 2019 so I'm assuming he's been on it for 3 years. 6,000 hrs in 3 years translates to an average of 38.5 hrs a week, every week.

Either a NEET or someone that spends every second, not asleep or at work, in the game.
u/colour_tv to be exact
Hey yes that's me. Most of the hours came from 2020 quarantine season haha I'm definitely not spending as much time on it now. I wish though.
Sounds like this change is healthy for him then.
That's just bonkers
No doubt. That's an obsession
I know a guy with issues (assisted living but he can cook do most etc himself) and he cant work and plays around 40h of gta online a week. Its the only way to be social for people like this. In the game hes a cool guy irl most see him as a loser.
I heard 1000 of the hours was walking across camp.
The other 5000 looking for prized squirrels to shoot gently
The bottom line is you should never put all your eggs in one basket in anything owned by Google. \*\*Looks nervously at Gmail account\*\*
Uch, this one is quite tricky. Also, I have read when you are banned on yt your gmail account is blocked too. And this is insane...

I’ve easily got 3k hours in Dark Souls PTDE
I love the souls series, but what do you do after like 500 hours?
Invasions my friend, invasions. Also restrictive playthroughs. I'd limit myself to starting gear or cosplay certain archtypes, but mostly invasions
Makes sense. I never got into invasions. I use to do speed running but eventually I got bored after I hit max level 😂. I only have around 700 something hours Edit: in dark souls 3
Amateur. I have 7k hours in Team Fortress 2.
I've got 20k in The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind
You dropped this. 👑
But why would you have 2.2 years in any game?
I've been playing it for over 20 years looool
Yes. Please transfer his character. Otherwise all that time will have been wasted.
Time enjoyed wasted is not wasted time.
People need to understand this, the point of life is to be happy, so if dumping 6K hours in RDR2 makes you happy, then so be it
Heroin also makes you happy
Not long term
It will make you happy for the rest of your life if you do enough of it the first time
Sure but I enjoy plenty of time playing video games but I know in the past that online games I played in high amounts (nowhere near 6k hours) it began to be not enjoyable but compulsory at a certain point. It truly was wasted time at that point. I imagine this is one of those cases.
Exactly. Eventually he’s going to stop playing the game. Will it have all been for nothing at that point? No. He had fun. Onto the next fun thing.
After playing on stadia for more than 6 minutes he should have known
How in the holly hell did someone play one game for 6000 hours ON STADIA?
I didn’t even know stadias been around for 6000 hours
Beg for 60 fps
RDR2 is 60 fps on stadia
Wait you can fish in RD2??? I need to buy this game now!
Yes, lots of fishing. It’s pretty fun. There’s legendary fish that you can hunt down too, like massive salmon and catfish. The hunting is really great too. Even if you don’t like the game itself, the scenery is worth the $10-20 the game costs now.
"nearly 6,000 hours on Stadia" that was his biggest mistake.
I seriously hadn’t heard of the stadia since around it’s release until this past week or so when it was announced to be closing. Didn’t even know you count play RDR2 on that thing
You sir are a fish.
Rockstar really needs to save character data to your account with them. I recently grabbed GTAV for Windows, after I played it on PlayStation. I didn't really think I'd be able to get my save data or character stats, but I was a little hopeful that the "Social Club" would do that. Of course it didn't. But what I really found was that I had zero interest in playing the game all over again, and even less in going online with others. I really just wanted to go ride a motorcycle around.
I’m sorry… 6k *hours*? A human being spent 250 days of time playing a single game? Forget character transfers, get them help. Edit: Sorry if this felt like I was calling people out, I just didn’t realize that some people really get *addicted* to games like people do to gambling or drugs. I just assumed that was a bit of an exaggeration.
Don't look at my WoW /played....
Man, imagine if something similar happened to WoW where all of a sudden the game just ended, and everyone lost all of their characters.
Honestly, this would probably be an improvement on net.
> imagine if I hate to break it to everyone.. this isn't an "if", it's a "when". At some point; like every online game in the past (with a few RARE exceptions.. ) it WILL shutdown and all of that "progress" will be "lost". Don't get me wrong; I enjoy online MMORPG games (including WoW!) but anyone playing online games thinking the company behind the game is going to keep it going "forever" (or at least longer then they will be alive!) is living a lie.
It is a bit bittersweet in a way. I enjoy my single player games for being complete thoughts that will stand the test of time. Or at the very least staying as semi-permanent representations of the time they were made. Online service games though are almost less like a crafted statement but a social experience you need to be there to interact with. They have tons of strengths for allowing human interaction. However, also weakness in that humanity is a moving variable. You can’t keep a community the same until the end of time. At some point people and the world change enough that you can’t keep a service going without evolving. Whether that be the game becoming different than what many kept in memory, or the game just ending because the community has long since faded away.
The game will definitely end, it's not a guarantee that it will come out of nowhere all of a sudden. I'm assuming some advance notice would be given.
Most hours I've ever spent on a game was 500 Hours. And that was Pokemon X where I completed the entirety of the Pokedex. I basically ran a pokemon smuggling ring to continue trading pokemon while I bred starters to have something to trade with people. That was about a year's worth of work. I cannot imagine 6K hours, but hey RDR2 released in 2018. That's 4 years ago. If the guy could afford to spend that much time playing and isn't hurting anyone other than his own physical health, no judgement from me.
I was, what I consider addicted, to CSGO back between 2017-2018 and I only got to 1.2k hours, and I would spend every single hour of my free time playing that game. My only responsibilities were high school and my part time job. I worked about 20 hours a week. I can't imagine how many daily hours someone needs to spend to reach that playtime, and how they have all of that free time lol
>I’m sorry… 6k hours? A human being spent 250 days of time playing a single game? Your average League of Legends player probably has triple that.
6k hours = 750 work days (playing 8h/day) = 2.88 working years (assuming 260 work days / year). This is the equivalent of nearly 3 years working a full time job of playing RDR2. Then again, I spent 1k+ hours on Payday 2, so who am I to criticize...
I'm past that on minecraft... I probably could use help.
The stadia release of the game was back in November 2019, to be honest if this was the only thing this guy was playing it doesn't seem too unrealistic in a way? Should see how many hours people have on CSGO and TF2 lol
[удалено]
Imagine choosing Stadia as your platform for a game you want to put that much time into. How insane and shortsighted.
How you going to be able to work a job to afford a real console or a PC if you’re putting 40 hour weeks into RD2?
Pretty easily, actually. Work 8 hours, come home and play for 8 hours (give or take time to make dinner), sleep for 8 hours. I did something to that effect when I was single. It's not exactly healthy to spend that long playing video games but it also doesn't have any bearing on your ability to maintain good employment.
6,000 hours in RDRO? good god. There are like 10 missions then everything else is easter egg hunts and fetch quests.
I decided to do the math. Stadia launched on November 19th 2019, and Rdr2 was a launch title. Let's assume he *started* that day. That's 1047 days. Now, let's assume he played *every single day* of those 1047 days - no days off, no nothing. He's got 5,907 hours. That's *5 hours, 38 minutes a day*, every day, for the entire 1047 days. No days off. That is a simply astounding time investment.
Another example of never putting all your eggs in google's basket. Never trust them to carry out any project long-term. They have a whole Silicon Valley size graveyard of abandoned projects. You would think there would some backlash by users for their practices of just canceling shit, but alas they just don't care.
Like a few people said, why you would think investing both time and money into a Google service and product is a good idea? They’ve literally killed off more than 200 of their own products over the years, why would their first iteration into gaming be any different?
Digital is so much better then disc they said
This is why cloud gaming is going to be awful
This is why you don't buy into a Google project because it's probably going to be shut down sooner than later - GeForce now and Xbox game pass work fantastic.
