How long do you play games for?

Now an hour a day is good going.

Pre-family I could easily play most of the day.

10 years ago I would have finished Halo Infinite SP over 2-3 days but took me nearly a month.

Damn you work

According to steam I seem to put around 25h per two weeks.

Seems pretty standard. Occasionally, I would put more in that if there is something I am really invested in (last game Imperator Rome) AND my wife works overtime or is away with her family giving me more time to be by myself.

That's why games like Witcher 3 took me 4 months to complete even tough i played it exclusively over that period.

Apparently, I played AC Valhalla for 151 hours and 46 minutes, which accounts for 96.4% of the base game.

I suspect that quite a lot of that is simply leaving the console on whilst in a safe place, with the controller on the stand as I ran around doing things that would only take 5 minutes for hours on end.

Unfortunately, not. It was me doing the running around in this case, not Eivor.

Weirdly, I didn't even like Valhalla that much, so I'm actually quite surprised by that playtime. It's on the Ubi site, though, so who am I to question it?

one million.

I fell off to sleep playing VR American Truck Simulator, I woke up shortly before going over the edge of a mountain, I literally thought I was about to die. D:

I think I manage about 1-1.5 hours per evening, which I think is very generous.

A couple of hours a week during term time. More in the holidays. If I get over the initial 'underpowered, don't know how things work' stage I can stick with long games like Witcher 3 and AC Odyssey until I've finished them.

It is. We would genuinely have never believed where things would get to in forty years.

I’m still extraordinarily nostalgic for those times, though.

Probably around 6-8 hours a week. Nowhere near as much as I would like.

I regularly dream of early retirement to play games all day long.

It's alright to enjoy yourself, wunty

Varies wildly for me. I have weeks where I might not play anything at all (especially when I'm running tabletop RPGs), or weeks where I'm averaging 3-4hrs/day most days. Helps that we don't have kids and my wife plays stuff as well. We met playing MMOs and whilst we play them a lot less now, we've both played them for countless thousands of hours (particularly DAoC and WoW, though we play FFXIV now - albeit not at the moment). Most normal would likely be 1-3 hours day, 2-4 days/week I'd guess.

Outside of MMOs, my most-played game is Total War: Warhammer 2, got an astonishing 1500 hours on that, albeit a large part of that is it's a game you can sorta-play whilst doing other stuff, and a lot of that is probably sitting on pause or waiting on turns/maps loading before I got an SSD and so on. A lot of other CRPGs, ARPGs or strategy games with a dozens or very low hundreds of hours /played too.

I'm terrible at sticking with games that aren't CRPGs and/or strategy games though. I have this really unfortunate deal where I stop playing them (usually became a new CRPG or strategy game came out), despite enjoying them, then try to come back like eight months or a year later, and I can't remember how they play, or where I was, and loads of them will have some complicated mechanic I no longer actually understand, or it'll turn out I was forgetting to do something vital, and then I feel like I want to start over, so I do, and then the whole situation repeats. Indie games have helped with that a lot, though as they're creeping up in complexity the same issue is occurring a bit.

I'm really vexed with Stellaris though, because it seems like every time I take a break, they massively re-jig multiple areas of the game, so I come back extra-confused. Whereas CK3 seems to have largely avoided that (but the upcoming expansion seems like it might be going to basically do the same). That sort of thing seems fine when you're playing constantly/regular (imho), but it's really off-putting if you want to play more casually.

I resent the lack of sleep, as late nights are the only time I get to play. And then I get overtired, am (more) grumpy, struggle at work and then don't play for weeks as I catch up. I don't deal well with being tired.
