Was doing what I know a lot of the rest of you do, stare at my Steam Library and wonder, 'what game am I going to play?' And while I was looking, I started noticing the time I had put into each game. The top two should surprise noone who has even a passing familiarity with my preferences: Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword and Warlock: Master of the Arcane. But some of you might be surprised at what comes in three through five, so, I decided to post it and ask my fellow Grogs, 'What fills in your top 5?'
1) Civ IV: BtS 1024 Hours (and that doesn't count the time I have in from the years before I had it on Steam).
2) Warlock - Master of the Arcane 557 Hours
3) Crusader Kings II 191 Hours
4) Europa Universalis 106 Hours
5) Age of Wonders III 91 Hours
So, sound off Grogs! Whatcha got?!!
Great thread. Here are mine. I have to admit I'm fairly new to Steam. I wonder how many of those hours were when I drifted off to sleep?
1)Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front 159 hrs on record
2)Sid Meier's Civilization V 99 hrs on record
3)The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 63 hrs on record
4)Arma 3 45 hrs on record
5)Cities: Skylines 40 hrs on record

Men of War AS2....love that editor....if I new how to use it properly. Something about 100 Tigers vs 500 Sherman's makes me tingle down there!
I have some long-played games that aren't on Steam. But here are the top ones I own on Steam:
Dungeons of Dredmor = 210 hours
Total War: Rome 2 = 181 h
Rise Of Flight = 114 h *see below
Europa Universalis 4 = 113 h
Total War: Shogun 2 = 75 h
*NOTE:
My Crusader Kings 2 play time is split, as I put in over 100 hours for Closed Beta and the first couple DLCs. It was a completely separate download, and was likely reset at some point, too. Plus another ~18 hours after I eventually purchased the retail version.
It would've taken at least 3rd place.
Apparently I really like Total War...
Empire Total War - 341 Hours
Rome II Total War - 227 Hours
Fallout 4 - 223 Hours
Fallout New Vegas - 203 Hours
X-Com Enemy Unknown - 183 Hours
I thought the old Insurgency mod was my most played but it looks like ARMA 3 takes that title.
ARMA 3 582 hr
Insurgency (the mod, not the new one) 499 hr
Rocket League 481 hr
Tabletop Simulator (to my surprise) 137 hr
iRacing (only since I linked to Steam) 116 hr
Many more hours on iRacing before I linked my Steam account to it.
I have way too many games in the <10 hours category, and more in the <3hr category.
Most played ever is probably a toss between Air Warrior and Ultima Online, with guest appearances by WWIIOnline, Planetside and the old Multiplayer Battletech Online on Kesmai.
It's funny cause I think I play an awful lot, but I think anymore I spend far more time reading about games online than actually playing anything.
Crusader Kings II : 435 hr
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare: 384 hr
Napoleon: Total War : 146 hr
Mount & blade: with fire and sword : 118 hr
War of the Roses: 111 hr
The last time I booted up CK2 was on 27 August 2016
The other games on the list I guess last time I looked at them 3 years ago or more.
I am not interested to play them again anytime soon, maybe CK2 after a some patches.
Most of my play time recently (or of this year) is with Slitherine games, AGEOD, Arma 3 and some other strategy games.
- Mafia II - 280 hours
- Skyrim - 124 hours (mostly kids, not me)
- Plants vs Zombies - 113 hours (mostly me ;D )
- Project Cars - 88 hours
- Far Cry 3 - 86 hours
Special mention for F1 2016 which is 6th on my list with 86 hours...which I mention because Skyrim is definitely not
my playing time
I wouldn't put an awful lot of weight into Steam and it's stats...F1 2016 has me making an achievement for
Keep it Clean in March - the game wasn't even out in March :idiot2:
A nice thread indeed. I came late to steam.
- Horizon - 113 hours
- Grand Ages: Rome - 71 hours
- Omerta - City of Gangsters - 43 hours (should be about 90 hours because i played the first campaign on GOG but there was bug in that edition)
- Endless Space - 36 hours
- Grand Ages: Medieval - 31 hours
Some games should be on top of that list but i played them a lot before i had them on steam as well: Armada 2526 Gold (at least 200 - 300 hours) and Imperium Romanum (at least 100 - 150 hours).
On GOG, i have 105 hours for Master of Orion CtS
Not as impressive in the numbers department as I'd imagined it would be.. but there is a striking pattern showing up, in that I seem to gravitate towards MMO style titles.
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising - 50 hours
Mount and Blade Warband - 50 hours
Planetside 2 - 48 hours
Elder Scrolls Online - 44 hours
Dragon Age Origins - 42 hours
Star Trek Online - 39 hours
The Secret World - 39 hours
Champions Online - 38 hours
Dungeon of the Endless - 36 hours
Marvel Heroes 2016 - 24 hours
Tales of Maj'Eyal 23 hours
Plus I spend a lot more time on console gaming than I have on PC gaming for the past 10+ years.
I'm ashamed there isn't a single wargame amongst them. But then it's only recently-ish that any of Slitherine or Matrix titles have his Steam in any way.
oh ho, this might be telling for me will check when I get home from work but i think it will show I play games way too much!!
Not so impressive hour count as some of you, for me either, but here goes:
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - 141 hrs
Arma 3 - 86 hrs
Assetto Corsa - 42 hrs
Rome 2: Total War - 37 hrs
Test Drive Unlimited 2 - 27 hrs
RaceRoomRacingExperience - 27 hrs
Shroud of the Avatar - 26 hrs
Funny thing that BF:BC2 tops the list. The other games in the series aren't on Steam or I've never played them via Steam, but I am sure they would top the list all in a row if I've had. :)
Distant Worlds only shows 15 hrs, but I have put in way way more before I activated it on Steam.
Also, CMANO isn't in the list of top games played, but -like DW- I've spent lots more time with the title prior to activating it on Steam.
I would have thought I'd spent more time in Rome 2, though. I really like that game and it feels like I've spent a lot more with it. I need to get back to that one for sure.
I am also surprised Stellaris doesn't show up. Aparently haven't played it as much as I thought.
Fun thread! But results show a skewed image of my actual playing habits.
DCS: World is probably my all time most played game ever, but I don't have it on Steam.
As goes for Steel Beasts Pro PE. :)

And Football Manager I havent bought 2017 yet!!!!
@FlickJax....that's impressive....and i used to think that if i spend a 100 hours on a game it's already a lot :dreamer:
Frankly am scared to look. All those games bought but zero hours played. :uglystupid2:

Same.
Many of the posts have me beat on individual games by quite a length.
Wish I had that kind of focus.
Having read through the list to this point, I would have thought I would find many of you approaching or beyond the 1,000+ hours I have in on Civ IV. And really it probably approaches 10,000 hours over the years. Didn't buy it on Steam until Game Spy shut down the multiplayer hosting site. Two more that I have lots of time in, but no count on Steam, are Atari's Axis & Allies rts and Age Of Empires III. I have literally hundreds of hours in both, but no real idea as I have nothing to track it.
I thought *I* had too many hours over the last 10 years on Steam, but apparently many of you have me beat! :)
My top 5 (which I didn't know you could look up - I never bothered to check this before) are:
Civ V (693 hours)
Fallout: New Vegas (214 hours)
Borderlands 2 (167 hours)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (101 hours)
Star Wars KOTOR I (74 hours)
Warlock I is my runner-up with 64 hours.
A lot of these I haven't played in a LONG time...I've only put in about 2 hours on Steam in the last 2 weeks, playing a very little bit of Skyrim (0.6 hours; wanted to see how it runs on my PC, which it doesn't run well - the graphics are glitchy and characters are splotchy which is annoying so that's not getting any more game time from me, unfortunately), American Truck Simulator (0.7 hours; wanted to try the new beta with bigger maps, which is kind of neat - wish I had more time to explore it), and I even tried Ultimate General: Gettysburg (0.5 hours; a very slick game; again, wish I had more time).
Neat idea for a topic.
My stats:
War Thunder (485 hrs) - you think I'd be better at this by now, but noooo
Counter Strike Nexon Zombies (231 hrs) - to be fair, this thing runs well on my old laptop, so by default when I'm saddled with it, this is what I'm usually playing.
Team Fortress 2 (149 hrs) - "Yes!"
Rising Storm / Red Orchestra 2 (95 hrs) - "Kill the fascist scum!"
Chivarly: Medieval Warfare (93 hrs) - "Yaaaarrrrggghhh! Agatha forever!"
ArmA 3 710 hours
DCS World 261 hours
Borderlands 2 182 hours
The Division 172 hours
Battle Academy 2 141 hours
I just realized the top 4 are all open world/sandbox games. Battle Academy 2 is up there because I've spent a ton of time playing coop scenarios.
Civ V - 2123 :wow:
CK II - 164
Civ VI - 94
EU IV - 89
Warlock - 62
Age of Wonders 3 - 469 h
Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes - 199 h
Total War Shogun 2 - 198 h
XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 137 h
Empire: Total War - 125 h
AoW3 clearly sucked me in big time! ;D
Skyrim 387
Fallout:NV 128
Fallout 4 87
HoI 4 86
Pillars of Eternity 84

Stellaris 505
7 Days to Die 433
EUIV 421
Darkest Hour (HOI2) 183
Crusader Kings II 167

7 Days to Die 241 hrs on record
Sid Meier's Civilization VI 82 hrs on record
Europa Universalis IV 75 hrs on record
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization 58 hrs on record
I wished I could show the same for non-Steam games. I would love to see how many hours I've sunk into Imperialism, Birth of the Federation, Alpha Centauri, etc. etc.

I'm so proud of you! O0
Let's see...
1. Fallout 4: 242 hrs
2. Hearts of Iron IV: 216 hrs
3. Elite Dangerous: 198 hrs
4. TW Rome II: 183 hrs
5. Sword of the Stars II: 151 hrs
(Coming in close at 6. Crusader Kings II: 144 hrs)
Wow, that's a lot of hours. :o
And that's not even counting the ridiculous hours I've poured into non-Steam games: CMx2 series, OOTP, WitP:AE, Decisive Campaigns series, Achtung Panzer / Graviteam Tactics Op Star, Hearts of Iron 1-3... yikes.
Wow, I'm a light weight, I need to dedicate myself to more game playing, although in my defense, I did spend a LOT of time in World of Tanks, which I don't play anymore.
Civ V 566
Naval Action 488
Fallen Enchantress 272
Master of Orion IV 62
Neverwinter Nights 53
This thread would be good to bring up every year and see how things have changed or haven't.
My Top Five....
Empire Total War--- 608 hrs.
Rome 2 Total War-- 487 hrs.
Skyrim-------------- 286 hrs.
Shogun 2 Total War- 250 hrs.
Napoleon Total War- 242 hrs.
Followed closely by Pillars of Eternity- 226 hrs, and Civil War 2- 202 hrs. I had no idea I'd spent so much time playing ETW and so little playing POE. The only games I've not finished of the bunch are Rome 2 and Skyrim. And Pillars, which I've finished the base game but still am winding my way through the White March.
Since this is starting to resemble an AA meeting, here are my top six:
Blackguards (560 hours)
Mount & Blade Warband (557 hours - most of them on Viking Conquest)
Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny (358 hours)
Sea Dogs: To Each His Own (313 hours)
Thea: The Awakening (308 hours)
The Age of Decadence (242 hours)
Wargame: AirLand Battle - 518 hrs on record
Arma 3 - 393 hrs on record - I actually caved in on the whole DRM issue and installed steam for this one
Wargame: Red Dragon - 369 hrs on record
Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition - 167 hrs on record
Alea Jacta Est - 143 hrs on record
Heh, and I thought that I really like rpg's and simulators. Not on this list - Graviteam Tactics, which I played a lot, including all of the DLC's, but purchased it on Gamersgate.
Also, AJE should get at least about 50 more hours, since it was my most played AGEOD game for PBEM's even before it hit steam.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 284 hrs
Hearts of Iron IV 282 hrs
Grand Theft Auto V 104 hrs
Making History: The Great War 80 hrs
XCOM: Enemy Unknown 77 hrs
Warlock - 607 hours
The Elder Scrolls V :Skyrim - 276 hours
Warlock 2; The Exiled - 230 hours
Age of Wonders III - 214 hours
Total War Shogun 2 - 189 hours
Command MANO : 524
Dragon Age Origins : 396
Witcher 3 : 248
Hearts of Iron IV 240
Flashpoint Campaigns : 238
Life well spent
Just out of interest I did a quick analysis on these numbers and while I might delve into them more deeply collectively these hours represent 1 person playing games 24 hours a day for 7 days a week for 5.24 year!

Wow Barth, don't let MD see those Civ V totals!
Darkest Hour - 970
Planetside 2 - 330
IL2 1946 - 231
RO2 - 119
Arma 3 - 81
My real IL2 stats must be much higher, since I disconnected my copy from Steam a good while back and there were then a couple of years when I played 8-9 hours a week. It shows pretty much what I expected - I'm much more likely to stay with a game if there's a MP/social aspect to it. Although I'd be interested to know how many hours I've sunk into CMBB and CMx2.

I'm feeling a bit lightweight too in such esteemed company
1. Football Manager 2010 - 444 hours
2. Hearts of Iron III - 222 hours
3. CK II - 154 hours
4. Wargame Airland Battle - 144 hours
5. EU4 - 114 hours
These guys have been called lots of things but E-Steamed ain't one of them. ;D
I like this thread because it makes me feel better about myself ;)
Civ V: 305 hrs
SotS 2: 206 hrs (though I probably played 1 more, it was pre-steam)
Empire: Total War: 166 hrs
Rome: Total War 2: 148 hrs (though both total war hrs probably skewed by 25% as I'd often leave my computer on overnight in the middle of a battle)
Tie for 5th- Endless Legend and Civ: Beyond Earth 117 hrs

Yes, but how many pumpkin patch farmed? ^-^
...oh, one or two..........
Is this some kind of head game to reduce our lust for new shiny games right before the sales hit :coolsmiley:...............it'll never work. I have 282 games in my library , and since i was looking at the most hours played i looked at how many i've not even touched....go look... i dare you. Out of 282, 75 havent been touched or less than an hour played.....is that bad.
As for most played:
7Days to Die=844
Dragon Age Origins=82
Flashpoint Campaigns=68 -double that for non steam play
WITE=49 -double that for non steam play
Empyrion= 40
i have a lot of games with 15-35 hours played, must be due to my short attention span.
Too embarrassed to list, pretty much tops is around 35 hrs.....
Think of it as part of a twelve step program.

See, now I thought I would get blown away in hours played by a lot of you guys here. I realize that many of the games of yesteryear we could count hundreds, if not thousands, of hours on, I just figured we all still played for a lot longer than I am seeing. I also realize that Steam is not the only way to play games. So, for instance, the several thousand hours I put in on HOI 2 will never be known for sure. I'm positive many of you have the same situation. But I really thought I would be on the low end of the middle of the pack.

Fallout 4: 87 Hours

No CMANO, Kushan?
Don't you have that linked on your Steam account? It makes getting scenarios much easier. The sole reason I linked it.

I have CMANO linked to my Steam account but I don't use play it. I very rarely play the non-beta version and prefer to use the Matrix edition for that. I occasionally use it for testing but thats really it. If I had to guess my time is somewhere between Skyrim and CK2.

Take no shame in a game you may play; for it is still quality time for yourself.
Sometimes after a long / rough day at work I do not have the patience for a strategy game...FPS and a glass of aged 12 yr is what the mind calls for.
1) Naval Action - 360 hours
2) Civilization V - 272 hours
3) Football Manager 2013 - 196 hours

Bonus coverage:
6) Football Tactics - 100 hours
7) Out of the Park 15 - 82 hours
8) Mount and Blade Warband - 72 hours
9) X-Com Enemy Unknown - 70 hours
10) Gearcity - 47 hours
Civ V 166 Hours
Sins Rebellion 76 Hours
Warlock 65 Hours
Torchlight II 58 Hours
Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning 46 Hours
Looks like I'm a bit of a part-timer in comparison.
Civ V 1181 hrs
7 Days to Die 652 hrs
Empire: Total War 149 hrs
HOI IV 112 hrs
CMANO 100 hrs (similar amount with stand alone)

Interesting to see some of the more consistent games played here. CK2 and Total War seem to have nice showing.
Also, some of you really need to go outside and play more!
ARMA 3: 240
Skyrim: 209
Rising Storm: 154
