How do people get 1000+ hours in 1 game?

[sage2001]

Before you answer, I know you get it from playing the game, but I don't really see how one game can keep someone so invested!

With Warcraft it was the game me and my wife played. Best killing floor it was the go-to game for me and my friends. For Minecraft I just enjoy building stuff and figuring out new ways to do things.

Multiplayer Games and MMORPGs are easy to get to that playtime usually. I have a couple that I've 1K'd, like TF2 for instance, I got 1.6K hours in it.

In some games you can spend alot of hours, thousands of hours. Because some games don't have a end and you have always something to do. You set your own goals. For example surviving in sand box games, like Ark or other games like Elite:Dangerous. Also Kerbal Space Program eats alot of time and you find always something new you can do. And the game "Salt" come to my mind. I think Minecraft is also such a game(never played this).

Some games are fun every time you play it, for example back in the day the Worms games, when enough people did play this, it was always fun again, each round.

Many games are fun to replay again, because they random generated or you can play on a other difficult or to explore some areas and quests that you did missed.

Also alot mmorpg's are very time consuming. Or Battle Royale games can eat alot time, one round up to 30 minutes and if you play alot, than alot time can be archived.

If you have alot fun in one game, than you can easy hit over 1000 hours.

I just play very replayable games

Because i enjoy it. How do i calculate how much time i play football, badminton and other of my favourite outdoor sport?More than my gaming time for sure.

games that get updated, i know that i have over 1000 hours in minecraft.

i also have over 1000+ hours in dark souls and dark souls 2 each (xbox 360,1,ps3,4 hours combined) but thats because back then i was quite poor and could not afford many games so i played the same ones over and over again.

Left 4 Dead 2’s multiplayer and vs accounted for most of that.
Saints Row: The Third and Skyrim were open enough I usually just bummed around.

I have nearly 2000 hours in Fallout 4 - most of that (probably... like 1200+) is just settlement building. I have plentiful mods that add a lot of locations and items, and I *really* enjoy doing the building and scrapping process. It's quite relaxing and I like coming up with new places for them to wander around and interact with for my settlers.


Otherwise, I've got some stupidly high amount of hours in like, Peggle Extreme and Plants versus Zombies, which you can just jump in for 30 minutes at a time and not even think about it. Since I've owned those games for over a decade, ... those 30 minute chunks add up.

The modding community is still active in L4D2 so that keeps me coming back to try out new mods that come out for it.

Sometimes I hit a point in a game and realize I've been doing it wrong the entire time, and have totally F'd myself over. I've dumped 100 hour plus saves because of it.

Mostly I suck at leveling. I love games where you can speed level or farm your way out, but I'm bad at that too.

When my internet goes down, I do a "merchant run" in New Vegas, where I load up on crap and walk a big circle of the map. Cazador parts are good money.

I’ve been able to do it with a few multiplayer games, because they are addicting and every single session brings something new.

But I don’t know when it comes to singleplayer titles. I can certainly reach hundreds, but even my most played singleplayer title (Terraria) isn’t even at 500. And I’ve had that for 8 years.

There are multiple reasons:

1. It's a game they are working on to rise through ranks or similar system

2. They really enjoy the replay value of the game

3. They are trying to get all achievements and having some sort if difficulty

4. It has a large online playerbase and therefore more opponents and offers a good player experience

5. The user has idled hours to appear is a legitimate player to use an excuse to hide cheats

6. Farming item/case drops for a meagre profit

Here's the secret from what I can tell:

Develop an imagination
Become a curious person
Find a great game that you love
Seek to master the things you do
Get a great job, then get really sick
Lastly, you wait around ten years...

Voila! You too can have thousands of hours invested in video gaming.

Of course, if all that is "too hard" then you could always leave your game running while you go to school? That way, you can impress your gullible friends who are too lazy to crunch the numbers and figure out that you're full of it.

[Incarnate]

I probably played the original Call of Duty and Return to Castle Wolfenstein multiplayer shooters a 1000 hours each.

I was in HS and college and did not have a job or any hobby. So, yeah, it's easily achievable. You just need to not have any life.
