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 actually just started playing it again after a nearly 2 year long break too, so that can’t possibly turn out to be a bad life decision.
If the 10,000hrs is correct then your Dota expert now.
I definitely wouldn’t say that, but it was kind of surprising how after that long of a break without playing any similar games I completely still had the muscle memory for it.
It’s impressive how long muscle memory lasts. I’ll forget how to play a game, but my fingers will naturally go to the right buttons to perform actions still, even without nearly this amount of time in a game.
Oh fuck me I managed to exorcise Dota from my memory like the cancerous tumor it is. Yeah that might be my most played game overall actually, across Dota 1&2.
Not that I’m suggesting you starting to play again is a bad decision or anything. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
