How do you even manage to play a game for hundreds and hundreds of hours?
I just dont get it
>>

>>342465156
i remember in like 10th grade i thought that my 100+ hours in a pokemon game was a lot.

now here i am with 4600+ hours played in a single game wondering what went wrong.
>>
If you're not a babby casual it's pretty easy.
>>
>>342465156
200 is nothing
Since it's TF2, some of it was probably spent idling anyway
>>
I've got 580 something hours in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. I'll be honest, I have no idea how I played that game for so long without burning out. No other game I own even breaks past 100 hours and I have a pretty large collection.

>>342465156
depend of the game
and why you play

>>342465156
Because not everyone is a consumerist

I've never played any 'single-unit strategy games'. Explain me, how can you play same map over and over again and enjoy it?

i regret every single hour in CSGO but in my defense it was before they added the cosmetics and community servers were much more popular.

>>342465771
imagine playing any sports game

same field, different players, different strategies

>>342465771
dota has an incredibly detailed map with deep nuances where you can find and create new juke spots with destructible terrain and highground and novel tricks in creep camps. Even after 1000 games you'll see new juke tricks with tangos/branches in a game

LoL on the other hand has a dead featureless map, like starcraft 2
>>
>>342465156
>hundreds and hundreds
That's literally only two hundreds you goddamn scrotum licker

>>342465156

I thought I only played FIFA two or three times per week and had maybe 1 or 2 hundred hours at most. Turns out I have over 1000 hours since September.

You know how some games you go to start and they pop up with a little window with options like "play" "edit options" "update".
Leave that on the screen, rack up hours easy.

When you find a game you really enjoy you easily put a couple of hundreds of hours in it.
>>
First, it starts with progressing with the story (if it even has one), then more hours are added in finishing objectives/achievements, then more hours because I simply like the game, then more hours because it has turned into some sort of habit (final phase).


For MH4U, for an example, I couldnt stop playing it every time I woke up in the mornings. It just evolved into a habit and I only stopped when I started feeling sick just by seeing a MH4U titlescreen.

LMAO
I thought I had a problems by clocking 2 hours.
Why different accounts though ? Banned ?
Thanks for making me feel better about mysef anon.
>>
>>342467601
>Why different accounts though ? Banned ?
once upon a time it could take 50+ minutes to find a game with high mmr
nowadays valve "fixed" it by saying the moment a game search goes past 5 minutes, all mmr ranges are removed and you get matched with the highest players available, so you can get 7k and 3k on the same team late at night

If the games are fun to play and have a sense of depth to them it's rather easy.
Multiplayer focused might be the biggest time sinkers, but some single player games fair well, especially if they are modable.

>in b4 MGSV is shit
Still had my fun with it, despite it's glaring flaws.

Yes, it's called a fucking MENU and almost every single game ever in existence has it.
