The Bethesda games. Elder Scrolls and Fallout. I think have total of iced 1,000 hours across all the games. Aside from that, I logged in an ungodly amount of hours in Construction Simulator 2015 back when I had a PC.

So, due to my current life situations, it's very rare that I get a decent chance at sitting down and getting fully immersed in to a game these days, and it could also be part of ADHD but every time I get to about an hour playtime in a sitting of a game, I get this irresistible urge that I need to change game and play something else, no matter how much I'm enjoying the game. Doesn't help that I buy that many games that I also feel I have to play them all too, then you have the subscription services on top of this that add another ton of games that I feel I need to play. Uhh.

In recent years, I think the Single Player game that I logged the most hours on was Breath Of The Wild, and these may be rookie numbers for some, but that was like 250 hours. I still go back to it now and then, but that was what I logged back when I couldn't get enough of the game, and was an achievement in itself that I actually stuck with this game without constantly changing to another game.

As backwards as this sounds, but whenever I get like 2 hours at night to play a game, I always feel it's not enough so I find myself just playing some MP games, rather than seeing that I could make a small 2 hour progress in a game. "Oh, I'll just play a round of MP on this game for an hour then go to a SP game"..."Oh, now I only have an hour left, might as well stick to this MP game"...:shrugs: So yeah, these days I find myself heavily playing Battlefield 1 (V is decent, 2042 is terrible), and I'm shamed to say Rocket League too, probably have over 1500 hours on that game across all platforms.

Over my lifetime though, Id say:

- Super Mario All Stars

- Ocarina Of Time (I almost always have a run going on this game)
- Goldeneye 007
- Banjo Kazooie
- Mario Kart 64
- Super Mario 64
- Turok 2
- Turok Rage Wars
- Worms Armageddon
- Beetle Adventure Racing
- Diddy Kong Racing
- Tetrisphere
- WWF No Mercy
- Vigilante 8
- Jet Force Gemini

- Grand Theft Auto 3
- Grand Theft Auto VC
- Grand Theft Auto SA
- Timesplitters 2
- Burnout 2
- Burnout 3
- Burnout Revenge
- SSX Tricky
- SSX 3
- SSX On Tour
- NFS: Underground 2
- NFS: Most Wanted
- Jak And Daxter: Precursor Legacy
- Gran Turismo 3
- Black
- True Crime LA
- Crash Bandicoot - Mind Over Mutant
- Metal Gear Solid 2

- Wind Waker
- Twilight Princess
- Soul Calibur 2
- Mario Sunshine
- Mario Kart Double Dash
- Starfox Adventures

- Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Yeah, this game probably ranks up there heavily)
- Battlefield 4 (Again, insane amount of hours on this)
- Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Same again)
- Far Cry 3
- Far Cry 4
- Halo 1 Anniversary
- Halo 3
- Forza Motorsport 3
- Forza Motorsport 4
- Assassins Creed 2
- Grand Theft Auto 4
- Darksiders 2
- Midnight Club LA

- Battlefield 1
- Rocket League
- Breath Of The Wild
- Spider Man 1
- God Of War 2018
- Ghost Of Tsushima
- Skyrim
- Smash Bros Melee
- Mario Kart 8
- Super Mario Oddysee
- Links Awakening
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Horizon Forbidden West
- Forza Horizon 4
- Rollercoaster Tycoon 3
- The Last Of Us
- The Last Of Us Part 2


+ Probably missed loads, but these are the ones that come to my head, and sorry for the huge list, just bear in mind as I said 'most played' for me doesn't take much, ha. Trying really hard to work on my 'problem', so much so I made a list of 10 games per console that I have to play through before moving on...Safe to say the list keeps changing too :rolleyes: I also lost my playtime hours on my Switch when I upgraded to an OLED, so I can't even check that now.

Have no fear, I can usually switch between games 10 times in one day, so I know the feeling of changing games constantly.

Oh I have ADHD too, my variant is non-hyperactive combined with high functioning Aspergers makes me get fixated on certain things for a while and so there are video games I played a lot.. logged so many hours on.

I gave al long list in this thread already, but I would say the top five I logged maybe years worth of hours each when counted up is:

1) Halo Reach
-The goal of getting Master Chief’s Mark VI Helm and enough credits to buy Cortana’s voice for Firefight made me play a lot of Campaign daily challenges and multiplayer. I was able to save for Cortana which was like 1 million credits, cuz I saved most of my credits from launch rather then spending them on new armor sets as I went up in rank in multiplayer.

2) Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
I played the game so much because I loved it and waa obessed with Shadow The Hedgehog’s character. What kept replay high was Chao World, raising chao, and trying to get Grade A on all levels.

3) Halo 2
I played the campaign over and over and because of Xbox Live’s debut I logged in a ton of hours with my friends and strangers. Even had a girl friend long distance lol.
4) Halo 3
Same story as Halo Reach and Halo 2, online multiplayer was the life blood that kept me going, though I played Canpiagn still and would record footage which was fun. One time my nephewsticky grenaded two hunters and exploded with them both, launching up into air and we kept in recorded footage. XD

4) Halo Combat Evolved
Contemplating the hours spent played in co-op campaign alone is enough to make me gasp, and the Lan parties of System Linking Four Xboxes is something Xbox Live coukd never replicate; party nights with pizza, butgers, Mt Dew, and etc while battling Blood Gulch will never be forgotten.

5) Mario Kart Wii
I played the other Mario Karts a lot, but unlocking all the characters and bots finally being in Baloon Battle on a main console made me an addict of this game.

There are a lot of games I've put hundreds of hours into, but I'll take the time to shoutout the two I have thousands of hours in. I've played around 2,000 hours of Borderlands 2, and nearly 9,000 hours of Super Smash Bros Melee

Without question, the answer is Minecraft. I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent in that game and honestly I’d rather never know.
Outside of that, I’d also say:
  • Pokemon Diamond
  • Civilization V
  • Smash Ultimate
  • Pokeclicker
  • Clicker Heroes
  • Adventure Capitalist (Yes, I had an idle game problem for a while)
  • Don’t Starve/Don’t Starve Together
