Whoa, impressive hours played stat there, cowboy! Of course I had to go and check out my stats -
552 total hours played, of which genres composed were 346 hours of action/adventure, 111 were RPG and 84 were shooter. Kinda vague. Most played games were:
Mass Effect Andromeda
Star Trek Online
GTA IV (ha!)
Diablo 3
Destiny 2
Also apparently in my region, I’m in the top 1% for gamerscore and achievements. And considering I live in Seattle, that’s probably not a stat to be proud of.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
Skyrim Special Edition
Mirros’s Edge
Dragon Age: Origins
Divinity: Original Sin
Total hours: 346
240 RPG
97 Action/Adventure
3 Strategy
My 14 year old daughter played Mirror’s Edge - guess it tallied from before i created a separate account for her (she never uses the XBox but she got hooked on Mirror’s Edge which was a free GwG game and asked for the sequel which she also finished. I haven’t finished a game in two years so she’s making me look bad. Then again, I haven’t even been gaming all that much lately.
WARFRAME
DESTINY 2
THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE
THE WITCHER 3
MORDHEIM
619 hours played. Ouch.
The first two aren’t that surprising. I am surprised ESO got more time than W3- I didn’t think I played it that long. I do need to get back to Mordheim someday, and I’m mildly surprised to see it on the list- I’d have assumed Subnautica, or Astroneer or ARK, one of those early access survival games.
I don’t completely remember. Something tells me they were long, at least getting into/out of missions. While in the mission, the game ran well enough, IIRC. I think I got through 2 of 3 chapters in the Human mercenary campaign.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
Mass Effect™: Andromeda
Destiny 2
Lords of the Fallen
Forza Horizon 3
Good point @ioticus. I bet Wolfenstein II would be on this list if the time frame didn’t stop on 10/31/17.
Total: 345 hours in 304 days (since it’s only through October), averaging above an hour a day of games now. That’s cool.
Nope. I have about 226 hours of gaming for the year. I’m pretty sure we have at least twice that for the year on Netflix, YouTube, twitch, mixer, … On my account.
So the 226 hours are very likely only for apps in the games category.
Yeah, my number would be way higher if it was counting Netflix, Hulu, Plex, OneGuide, etc.
1126 hours in 304 days. That’s 3.7 hours/day. Nice. Also, well done on actually using the shit out of backwards compatibility, just to show up that report earlier in the year that no one was using BC.
Yeah, it’s kind of been my chill activity after work, but I suspect there’s some idle time in there too. I’m prone to pausing and walking away to do stuff.
Here’s a funny article about this. I find it amusing that the writer thinks it’s creepy that Microsoft tracks this data. I remember when Valve tunes the difficulty in an encounter in Half Life 2 because folks were getting stuck there.
Also, it’s funny how they call Major Nelson’s hundred thousand gamerscore “huge”, I’m closing in on two hundred K.
I played it a ton, but I think it appealed more to my compulsion to grind than any fun center I have in my brain.
It’s a solid game, but my biggest complaint with it is how much of my success specifically depended on good item drops/availability during my runs. It’s a roguelike of sorts, so loot varies, but if you don’t get solid or synergistic chest/store items you could end up spending 20+ minutes trying to chip away at hit point bars during certain boss fights or other encounters.
It was well worth the money I spent, but when none of my loot synergises it becomes an epic slog the further I get in a run, until I’m simply getting overwhelmed by stuff I can’t efficiently kill.
I’m so glad I made the switch to console gaming last year after over 35 years of PC gaming. Much less headaches (literally and figuratively), I can game for longer hours at a time on the recliner and there are less compatibility issues and glitches to deal with.
