From my Steam Account i can say

1.5 k in:

Civ 5, Red Dead 2 online, GTA V, Minecraft, Oxygene not included

3k in:

Don't Starve, Rocket League

but I 've been gaming all my life. So there are dozens and dozens of titles with a couple hundred hours of playtime. I will never know how much I played them as a fact. I' ve turned 39 in january and started with a Game Boy and titles on Pc like Civ 1 or Monkey Island when I was 8.

The only one game I actually really regret that I played for such a long time is Rocket League. The whole competitive factor makes you wanna play those sort of online pvp games only partially for fun. The other significant chunk of motivation to play them so long comes from other tainted emotions that I wouldn't consider now in hindsight as absolut positive and healty.

The game I feel that it was the best decision to stick so long with it is lol ... all the other ones I mentioned. Gaming is such a beautiful hobby.

Well, sorry that I haven't answered the actual question but I just see this topic pop up often in Reddit and I always loved to read your guys answer. Only this time I wanted to overcome myself and tell you my point of view. Many see this huge gaming times ppl sink into video games as crazy. And I admit even I am shocked about gamers that have 9k in pubg. I played many different games and probably have reached many many k overall. All combined here are rougly 14 k but I bet I played double the amount in my life.

I wish I had played more different single player games or pve games. But sadly there are only a couple games that click with the personal taste. I have almost the same amount of memories of games I played for 50 as let' s say 200. And memories get more and more important the older you get. They kind of tell you that you lived a life that you like and want to remember.

Damn I texted this all on my mobile and it took me at least 10 min bcs I' f*in bad at it. Thank you guys for all your stuff I can read and enjoy every day. Happy Gaming!

Read on... if you don't skip, then it crashes anyway, only now you won't be able to get a refund. The performance will be fine for the few minutes you get to play, so there's thar.

For real, does nobody read the whole sentence anymore?

According to Steam, over 600 hours in Team Fortress 2. Been years since I played, but still no other of my Steam games has come close to beating this score. The closest is Mount&Blade Warband with around 360 hours or something like that, and maybe Mass Effect trilogy if I took all 3 games together.

However, there were some childhood games that I played a lot (Gothic 1 and 2, Lego Star Wars Complete Saga, Oblivion). No Steam back then, just classical CD, so I can't tell how many hours I put into them in total, but I know they would be very high on my list, especially Gothic games.

I was hoping to buy and play this on Steam Deck.

Spiderman has been Amazing on in it (it starts up so fast!), as was Dead Space Remake.

This seems to run like garbage. Apparently it takes an hour to download and update shaders and there are 2 minute load times during cutscenes that were not in the original game.

Fuck Iron Galaxy and fuck Sony for hiring them to do a shit job on such an amazing IP.

It's really funny. I had Arkham Knight on launch, running on the exact GPU brand that was reportedly the most problematic and I encountered no frame problems (outside of some crazy batmobile particle fx chases) and like maybe 1 or 2 crashes the entire game.
