How do people put hundreds of hours into a single game? Or multiple games? I see people casually mention how they put over 500 hours into Bloodborne or 700+ in some obscure DS RPG.
There are entire consoles where I have less than a thousand hours played on, on average I spend about 40 hours on a single game before moving on to the next.
Do I have gaming ADD or something?

That's what usually happens when you know, like a game, and that game happens to be endless or hugely replayable.
people are fucking retarded/only play what's popular/won't try anything new
that's why you see so many people with 1000+ hours in skyrim, cs:go, and tf2
I get that. Maybe it has something to do with having more options these days? When I was a wee lad I got maybe two or three new games a year and I played the fuck out of them.
I’m trying to cut back on buying games until I beat the ones I already own.
Half of my hours played in smash and splatoon has been from idling while I’m doing something else
The splatoon lobby music is forever burned into my brain at this point
my terraria time is probably just a fraction of how much I spent shiny hunting like a sperg
I’m not talking about popular games though. Active multiplayer focused titles have a social aspect to it. I’ve known plenty of people who use them as their primary outlet for interacting with people.
I’m mostly talking about single player experiences. Seriously I can’t imagine putting 400+ hours into a single Pokemon game. When Sun and Moon game out, some guy I know managed to fit 300 hours within the first week despite having a full time job.
how do you have 2648 hours but not all of the achievements
i understand the fishing quests but still
That's more or less the reason I'd assume, people who just buy a game or two every now and then and come back to that game. With the flood of cheap games and bundles, it got even worse for me personally, jumping from game to game after I played an hour at most, always feeling like something better in the same genre might exist. It's no fun, really, thus why I cut down my steam library from almost 700 trash games I got from bundles and whatnot to 180 I played and want to play for sure.
I could get them if I wanted too but I don’t really feel like it
>Playing minecraft at all
>Putting 1000 hours into it
user, that friend of yours is desperately bored, go suck his feminine penis or something.
I blame trophies/cheevos. I would not spend half as much time on some of these shit games if I weren't autistic about getting as many trophies as reasonably possible.
True that.
I’d play my Switch way more if Nintendo implemented some sort of achievement system.
>300 hours within the first week
>minecraft
>1000 hours
that friend is autistic
>300 hours within the first week
Some games simply have a lot of replayability. Couple that with people with either loads of free time or lots of patience and bam, 100+ hours. I play games slowly so I end up getting lots of hours in while doing very little
If I like a game, especially an online multiplayer competitive game, I keep playing that game. Over time you rack up hundreds of hours and barely realize it. Same could be said about huge open world games with interesting environments or games with a ton of achievements. These hours add up over months. It's rare that somebody actually plays 500 hours straight of anything without some kind of break
Minecraft legitimately gets so boring, I really can't understand how people can keep playing it for so long. Even I struggle starting up the game.
check it loser
What kind of week does this guy have?
He’s a 26 year old semi-NEET that works maybe 10 hours a week as a bagger. He uses the money to buy at least one game a week or saves it for MtG cards. He has a shoebox full of DS/3DS games so he really doesn’t have much of a collection. He spends his entire day shifting from AC: New Leaf, Pokemon, Skyrim PS3, and Blazblue. He has major OCD and takes ADD meds.
Yeah but my week only has 168 hours
>They don't go into cracks of time and enter the plane of nothingness where time moves slower to play video games
For shame, Yea Forums
I play games to completion and many games cannot be completed 100% without investing at least a hundred hours.
I don't understand it either but some people are just able to focus more on games or probably have a lot more time on their hands than you.
Though there are people who do it just for a meme. I saw one steam profile where they had like over a thousand hours in VA-11 Hall-A and were still playing it. And they wrote something like, "I loveVA-11 Hall-A. The multiplayer is amazing!" on their profile.
I have about 1500 hours in TF2 and could have had more if Valve didn't fuck it up to the point where I stopped playing
Sometimes it just kinda sneaks up on you just from playing a little bit frequently over a long period of time. I like to have two glasses of whiskey when I get home from work, alongside a round of Into the Breach. It's a comfy way to wind down from work. ITB definitely doesn't have hundreds of hours of content, but I have hundreds of hours in it because of that habit.
I've got hundreds of hours in MGS:GZ.
It's all about not burning myself out by playing only a bit at a time every day.
Man, at least do it in a remotely good game
Is Terraria likely to be boring for me if I think Minecraft is shit?
Tried this once, don't do it, horrifying experience all around.
What the fuck did you do to occupy that much time? Speedrunning? Solo weapon runs? Pure stealth?
Depends on what you find boring about it. Terraria is Minecraft with an emphasis on combat and collecting rare items and gear. The building autism is still there but it is secondary to combat where in Minecraft, it's the other way around.
If you notice, in your OP pic, the person was currently playing multiplayer
Maybe he has 1,000 hours in a game because he played it with friends.
MMOs like WoW and FFXIV look fun with all the content that is available, but when I play them I always get the feeling that I should be using the time to actually do something better.
>have 300 hours in FF12
>120 of those is me asleep at the controllers and then waking up and forgetting when I saved and just saving anyway in case the last time was too far back
Anyone else?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I've done everything. I did a stealth drive a carand jump out at the last second into every enemy speedrun once.
I know for a fact I have at least 2000 hours in WoW over the course of my life. Probably 1k in Maple Story and Runescape each.
Then 1000 each in Warframe and AOE2.
i already have 128h in Fire Emblem 3H but i'm waiting until the dlc to do the church route, now i'm onto astral chain, it's more likely due to whether or not you have a bunch of games to buy on your system
Demon's Souls Platinum took me some hours for pure autism.
i know people with 20000 hours in tf2, this would melt lesser minds but theyve just accepted that its their favorite games and simply like replaying it
nevermind, so close

runner up i know is vrwdc

there are people with EVEN MORE hours they just aren't as relevant in the community
I know a guy like that who was trading unusuals every night, his backpack was worth thousand of dollars.
I wonder if he survived the crash
Some of us have certain games that scratch our autism just right.
Also, not everyone has the same taste in games either.
I think I have 120 in just the steam version of Fallout NV and I have that game on gog and 360.
>120 hours in Marvel Heroes (mugga 4 lyfe)
> 140 in team fortress 2
>109 in dark souls
> 100 in dark crusade
> 92 far cry 3
and this is just the recorded stuff
One hundred hours?
Long RPGs + grinding, replaying a normal game a couple times after years to remember it, or falling asleep that one night when you were so into it you played until you crashed
Hundreds of hours?
Exploring new styles, refining your technique, completing 100%, achievements, etc.
Thousands of hours?
Mods. Basically has to be mods or serious dedication to doing the same things over and over. Mods alleviate this by adding new gameplay or altering gameplay in a way that you can feel the way you felt a hundred hours in exploring new aspects of the game.
Stop lying on the net ,user. A week doesn't contain 300 hours...
Aside from Skyrim and DDDA, playing with friends is what drives me to play these games for 100s of hours.
Fun things are fun, user. I also have a huge backlog and there's a lot of new games coming out that I want to play, but I see no problem playing one game for hundreds of hours simply because I want to.
no i have the same thing. but not just with vidya, but with anything. soundtracks, movies, books, i can't ever focus on one thing for more than a few hours without getting bored.
it might be he never cared about cheevos, just enjoys playing the game
>he doesn't have at least 5 games with 100+ hours in them
don't worry, you'll find the game you'll truly enjoy one day
