does it intrigue you if someone sinks in thousands of hours into a game?
would that make you more willing to try it out?
>>
>>746083041
The average person somehow gets thousands of hours in TF2 and fucking Counter Strike. That doesn't interest me whatsoever, although if it's a single player RPG that tends to be interesting. I usually find it pretty based if they have 1000 hours or so in something like Factorio too.

You know what made me a productive person? Staring at my game hours counter.

Staring at the counter and realize those 2000-3000 hours is something you could spend on any craft, and master it. That's why i'm back into drawing, there is no counter but in 1 or 2 years of practice you'd get really good.

Fuck no. If I spend that long in a game it's my own autism. Haven't played pic related in several years though (really don't want to get back into doing habitual dailies).

I hope you play with friends or something. otherwise how did you sit through 2k+ hours of dialogue and savescumming. does it not get dull after 200 hours?

The last game I put 400+ hours into was AoE2 DE and that was 3 years ago. Since then I seem to top at about 150-200 hours if I really like a game. The two games I have more than 1k hours are Left 4 Dead 2, CS Source and Terraria, and those are ancient. I struggle even getting 7+ hour sessions nowadays, it just feels like forever.
>>
>>746083041
no I assume its severe mental illness in multiplayer shit or especially rogueslop.
>>
>>746084037
I only play alone
I don't save scum, just use mods to cheat if you want a perfect run
Just skip dialogue you have already seen if that bothers you

The game was in early access for 3 years, and it's been fully out for another 3 years now, perfectly reasonable to have put that amount over 6 years

It intrigues me in the same way reading about mental illness or watching crime documentaries does.

No you wouldn't, make that 4-5. 1-2 years from zero will get you to the starting line where you understand what drawing is but nobody would be impressed with your work yet
>>
>>746083796
why is it that when people make posts like these it's ALWAYS drawing?

I have over 9000 (no meme intended) hours in my favorite game. No, it isn't afk time either. Yes, I'm old.
>>
>>746084934
Aren't you bored doing the same thing over and over again? No matter how epic the journey is, if you make it a 100 times it's just a commute
>>
>>746085000
No? Food is still tasty and I've been eating every day since I was born.
>>
>>746084473
>perfectly reasonable to have put that amount over 6 years
it definitely is not "perfectly reasonable" to replay the same sections of a linear story-driven rpg over and over for thousands of hours
>>
>>746084473
how is it perfectly reasonable to replay a story driven game for 6 years in a row? Not like there's a mindblowing combat system

Wait until you hear about Morrowind fans, they've been playing the same visual novel for decades.

Even food tastes worse if you eat it over and over again. Otherwise we'd all be eating our favorite dish 24/7. You didn't think this analogy through did you
>>
>>746085157
That's an immersive open world game though, you can just live a comfy life there. In BG3 you can't do anything other than progress the questlines
>>
>>746085000
Im the guy you originally replied to. No, it's a game that changes over time frequently and has fresh content to do. I actually play tons of other games too, and work a full time job. Variety is the spice of life.

>Even food tastes worse if you eat it over and over again. Otherwise we'd all be eating our favorite dish 24/7.
In many cases that's true, but personally I've been having 2 slices of buttered toast for breakfast every single day since I was a kid for over 20 years and it's still delicious
>>
>>746083041
>does it intrigue you if someone sinks in thousands of hours into a game?
no. i have done the same.
>would that make you more willing to try it out?
no that's what demos or just pirating the game is for.

TEN THOUSAND HOURS IN GARRY'S MOD????
>>
>>746083041
Large playtime count, combined with progress achievements to show its not a bot that keeps the game launched in main menu, gives credibility to a review, especially if it's a negative one.
>>
>>746085889
there's a playtime bot that also unlocks achievements in a "realistic" way by taking into account average user playtime when unlocked

yes

>>746083041
Steam randomly bloats all of it's metrics so not if it's from Steam data. you can literally open and close stardew valley and somehow end up with 20hr playtime recorded.

but sure if someone has a thousand hours of silent lets play youtube videos of a game im intrigued.
>>
>>746084874
pewdiepie proved you wrong
>>
>>746083041
Yes, I respect it more than people who just play one and done 50 hour experiences. I put like 600 hours into Bannerlord in 2-3 months. Granted, alot of that was AFK time.

Do you have any evidence of this claim?
Seems like something that'd be easy to prove

No. Because 1000 hours is fucking nothing in the grand scheme of things.
It's ~42 days of continuous play, ~167 days of 6 hours a day, ~2.7 hours a day over an entire year. You start stretching out to games that have been around for 10-20 years that are still active today, 1000 hours is fucking nothing.

I have 23 thousand hours in Dota 2 right now, I started playing in early 2013 I think. Some of it is obviously idling in menu, but I also watched a shitton amount of streams, read guides, wiki, I am really super autistic about it.

Usually it just means that the other guy is having fun playing that game, which is apparently an alien concept here.
>>
>>746089012
>what was the grand purpose in life you were meant to accomplish?
Doing literally anything other than the surrogate activity of repetitive multiplayer or sandbox games for more than a given number of hours. Starting a family with a loving girlfriend to be wife for example. Finishing university. Getting healthier. Renovation of the house. Work on portfolio projects.

All those thousands of hours could have been spent better in the first quarter of life.

>>746089173
Don't you ever get tired of being a zooming NEET at some point with no personal agency of your own? With no accomplishments in your life? Not seizing the opportunities that present themselves?

It's like that one comic of that "potential man" whizz kid at the computer who winds up being consumed by the electronic world. And most fit into that archetype, all they have to show for their 13-23 demographic is a ton of unfinished projects and a ton of ideas that get invented written down and then forgotten.

Once you start falling sick, once you are alone, once your family starts to grow old and die, once you spend time on your own with your friends and a girl who loves you as much as you love her, you realize just how truly insignificant most of your activities were in view of the power process.
