However this plays out I just want to say our lord an savoir Deus Ex circa 2000…which I am pretty sure IIRC won the last decade Qt3 game of decade 2000-2009, was the perfect choice given the forum founder.
Right? I’m still wrangling with mine. Around 50 games to whittle down!
The format of your list is how I want to do mine too. Top 10 with honourable mentions and a list by time played! Love the recency bias chart. Noice.
It saw a lot of votes early on, but then later voters didn’t vote for it. I’m kind of rooting for it even though I haven’t played it yet.
It’s peak Fallout, in my book, even better than the classic first two entries.
Thanks, I tried a range of different ways to whittle down the longlist and to layout the results. I came up with this somewhat, err, organically.
I hope you voted for the two Skyrims separately…
My top games, ones I play the most, didn’t make the list. I clearly love those games, Thea, Rimworld… but I kind’ve slanted my list away from just ones I really, really like to ones I think will or have had a lasting impact of some kind.
All I can say is you guys play too much!
Yeah, I’m envious of some of their available gaming time!!
Somes games I played for hundreds of hours are not there because I didn’t play them on Steam (Guild Wars 2, Witcher 3, Grim Dawn, etc).
Same here, I am lucky if I am getting 5 hours of relax time a week, and thats for TV/Movie and Game time combined. D:
Are those counting times you log into Steam, turn the game on and not play?
I can’t imagine 300 hours (much less over 500) out of a single player game. Is there 300 hours worth of game in the first Baldur’s Gate? 722 hours in Grim Dawn? Wow.
Grim Dawn isn’t a single player game though.
It is for me. Guess I just liked all the different class combos to try out.
Slay the Spire has racked up a lot of hours for me partly because it’s good but also partly because I can play it with one hand on a mouse and one eye on a toddler.
What are you doing with your other hand and eye?
Writing a novel!
Playing Grim Dawn, clearly.
On Steam, I have over 1000 hours of Grim Dawn. Nothing else comes close. I think Dark Souls is second place with around 250 hours. And I have about 200 hours in both DiRT Rally and DiRT Rally 2.0.
ARPGs, Racing games and Strategy games just are single player time sinks on a whole different scale from other genres. That’s why I tried to get rid of them, but it didn’t hold for ARPGs and Racing Games. I just love them too much. Strategy games I’ve postponed for 10 years.
But for sure, if I could stop playing Grim Dawn and Racing Games, I’d have more time to play a ton more games.
