I didn’t pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

I got 30XX and it’s been a blast so far. Probably gonna keep me busy for a while.

OhFudgeBars,

Good choice! Been a fan of that one since the Next Fest demo. It’s changed a lot since then.

Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.

Best Co-Op game I’ve ever played with a marvellous community and its own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.

Stopped playing though when they introduced the “flappy boots” minigame. I know it’s optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can’t help the feeling.

In German I would say “die Luft ist raus” about this. Literally translated: “the air is out” and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just “meh”, although it was (very) appealing before.

If you haven’t played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won’t regret it.

Krudler,

I love the expression! Sounds close to “out of steam” in English which is used similarly… nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or “special something” is gone

NormalPerson,

That’s not very rock and stone of you

Well, I’ll say the usual, CS2, TF2, and L4D2… with a combined total playtime this year of 60 hours… (most on TF2)

Because… I’ve been playing this game… called Wuthering Waves., it doesn’t have any hours, only days, but if I had to guess… around 1200 hours. It’s a gacha game. Like Genshin Impact so… yeah, I’m a F2P though, and I’ve been enjoying it (with a few exceptions)

Aside from that, Honkai Star Rail is second… with probably around the same hours… another gacha game. Then Zenless Zone Zero, as another commenter mentioned. Another gacha game.

In my phone, I guess I play Clash of Clans and Pokemon Go occasionally.

A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).

I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!

Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

Same here.

FYI, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Green Man Gaming and Fanatical for -18%, taking its price down to a normal triple A price of 57€.

iAmTheTot,

Even cheaper if you have max discount at Humble.

It’s great.

caut_R,

Game was hard for me to get into but once it clicked, it was awesome

Artyom,

An excellent choice, and the sequel is also great, although the gameplay is very different.

Divinity 2: Original Sin, because I’m 30hrs into BG3 and it’s really good

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The beginning of D:OS2 felt like a cheat code to get more BG3 after I’d already finished BG3, but as time went on, I found that everything from RPG systems to pacing of combat/non-combat is leagues better in BG3, to say nothing of the production value that’s obviously better in BG3. Still a good game, but the improvement between each of their RPGs is immense.

CosmoNova,

I have to say I very much prefer the combat system in OS as it feels much more natural and less restrictive than the DnD combat in BG3. Of course the latter has far more content, but I’m looking forward to Larian’s next game where they can finally go wild again and do things they want exactly the way they want.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I felt far more restricted by D:OS2’s armor system. Freeform classes sound great on paper, but it also means you kind of naturally end up at a spot where you’ve got everything instead of making meaningfully difficult choices in classes or multiclassing. Learning abilities from books leads to a lot of money bottlenecks and leveling decisions that I didn’t care for. The way that the combat usually doesn’t have any chance to hit, but then does very occasionally, makes missing an attack feel like bullshit rather than a calculated risk. I’m also looking forward to whatever they do next, maybe even a sci-fi interstellar RPG, but I hope they don’t go back to the Divinity well too often for RPG mechanics.

Glemek,

I envy you. I’ve got 1400 hours in Bg3. I love the game but i wish i could forget it to play it fresh again.

Duke_Nukem_1990,

D:OS2 is one of the very few games that made me cry with the emotions I had for my characters. I hope you like it, great game.

InputZero,

Finally! Someone with over 1000 hours in a game. I think I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris alone. Granted I’ve definitely walked away from that game in the endgame for over an hour and come back with practically nothing changing. It’s a very slow game.

moonburster,

After not playing for years I have a hard time getting back in. Any tips?

InputZero,

Play smaller and taller. Playing a wide game is tougher but not impossible. Also don’t do what I do, do not have a custom built species for every origin. There’s a lot of origins now and it’s a little cluttered. Just build a race you like and get playing.

just pasted a screen snip so hopefully that worked. Not pictured: League of Legends which CS:GO only wishes it could be, Runescape (either of them) which is counted in months and Minecraft if it counted my hours would be 5 figures at least.

gazter, do games w What games have you sunk the most time into?

I’ve got over a thousand in Space Engineers, although some of that is from leaving it on overnight to refine materials. Or possibly exiting the game, but forgetting to actually leave the main menu. Does Steam track time when the computer is asleep?

But I’ve likely got close to ten times that number in Dwarf Fortress. I’ve been playing it off and on for close to a decade and a half now, and when I get into it whole days can just fly by.

MystikIncarnate, do games w What games have you sunk the most time into?

A nontrivial amount of my gaming time was reset by steam around 2010… IDK why, but there are games on my steam account that I know I’ve sunk over 100 hours into that show zero hours.

Right now, one of my highest is satisfactory, sitting around 1500+ hours.

menemen,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I used to play 1.6 and source. Then my family and job life had me quit playing for a few years. When I came back it said 1.6 hours for both. Cannot say when it happened though.

Never got into GO, but I was probably just too old to compete at that point.

MystikIncarnate,

Yeah, I have a ton of time into HL/HL2/CS:GO/Audiosurf/PvZ

Pretty much all of that was lost.

I did a quick Google search and according to some commenters on websites, the great reset was around 2010.

I’ve been on steam since the early days, I think I installed it around the time that blue shift came out? I forget. But back then, if you had any HL2 title, and you put that into steam, you would get what is now known as “the orange box” (more or less). So, yeah, I got a bunch of valve games basically free and I’ve only expanded that collection.

Recently I’ve tapered my spending on games because life/work/family doesn’t allow me a lot of time to play. Which is probably why I like satisfactory so much. If I get an hour, I can build my factory, save it half complete and go back and continue building later.

The biggest thing that I feel like SF has going for it, is that they give you all the tools, tell you the objectives and let you figure everything else out. You have 100% control over how you accomplish the task at hand. You can save/quit anytime you would like, and there’s no demands to get things done in a particular timeframe.

You can save halfway through a build, and you’ll come right back to where you left off. Most games now-a-days are match based, once you’re in a match, you feel obligated to finish the match, and there’s seasons or limited time objectives that you must play a minimum amount in order to even have a chance of getting… There’s just so much pressure, micro-transactions, and effort required.

Blackmist, (edited ) do games w What games have you sunk the most time into?

It’s was World of Warcraft before I quit.

What other games had in hours, that had in days. Probably around 500 days, mostly standing around waiting for others.

Now I play FFXIV instead.

MystikIncarnate,

I saw the OP and I was thinking “those are rookie numbers”

This is more like it.

rbits, do games w What games have you sunk the most time into?

Don’t have a number for it since I have it on itch.io, but I’ve put a lot of time into Celeste. Beating everything twice (including b-sides, c-sides, and farewell) took a while, but I’ve also put a bunch of time into the amazing mods it has, like Strawberry Jam and Glyph.
