Does having 2000+ hours in any single video game mean you are compensating for something irl, or just being unsatisfied with your life so you turn to video games? Be it NEETdom, tfw no gf, etc?

I have ~3400 hours in tf2, play to distract myself from tfw no gf

Sheeeit, I've never put more than 800 hours into any one game.

2300+ hours in Dota 2
2000+ hours in TF2
3000+ hours in misc games

And that is just an estimate. Idk man. Ive played under 10 hours of games cumulatively in over a year and I honestly kind of miss it. It wasn't exactly happiness, but more the absence of loneliness and depression.

Most hours I've ever put in a game are 500-600. I can't fathom playing for longer without the autism ailment. Or maybe I've just never played a game that could entertain me for more than 600 hours.

I have 4k hours and pretty much eased out of the game.

Try to stop playing matches and go for overthrow (desert quintet is my fav). It's the same fighting without all that farming crap

It's much less stressful.

>>35025646
But I love farming and the progression part of the game as much as the fights.

Got sick of the same old shit and now I am over-invested in school and work. Now I do both around 55-65 hours a week. I also got cucked months prior, so maybe that catalyzed things too.

28 days on CoD4

32 days on BO2
4 days on Ghost

I used to be really good too. I had a 2.8kd in MW2 and 3kd+ in every game after.

I stopped playing when they added jetpacks.

The counter only goes up to 100 hours but I am fairly confident I have spent 300 hours on Megaman Battle Network 3. At some point during the year I get a massive itch to play it and I do so for a whole month whenever I have the time.

~3.5k in dota 2

I started freshmen year (a friend recommended it since he found out I liked warcraft 3) of college and used it as a hard eacape.

I probably have more in dark souls but xbox doesn't track and I don't even have 100 on the steam version. What? Xbox had the sweetest tears.

Anyways, but dark souls was 2011-2013 for me and dota has been 2012 to now.

I hated college and didn't want to go. Now I'm graduated and no one hired me so I kind of gave up and just play dota.

I smurfed to upper 4k befor ranked but didn't want to cpntonue sonce I had all my hats on my main account which was in 2k mmr because
>lmao I'll try ranked i know what wards are :D

I don't even care for it too much. The games are long and serve as a perfect time sink for when you're waiting for better times. The problem is now they aren't coming so I'm just sinking time.

I have 3k+ on Dark Souls 1. Can't give exact hours because of the limitation on the amount of characters you can have. I've deleted probably 5 or 6 characters with 10-50 hours each on them.

The truly sad part is I have one single character with just over 1200 hours on it. I made that build in the summer of 2012 and it's my main duelling character and practically the only one I use. I feel a disturbing level of attachment to him. I mean shit the thing is almost 5 years old at this point. It basically feels like my child.

Oh yeah I understand. I've climbed about 1000 mmr on my main and I'm still going. I consider myself pretty good with my favorite heroes (Wr, Dp, PA). Wr because she's versatile and I learned the game with her, Krob because for whatever reason I'm really good with her in most roles, and pa because she's so fucking cute with the arcana and equipment I have on her.

I'm taking a break from ranked at the moment though. Lost a few games in a row because I filled a role we needed instead of just doing my thing and pushing towers. I hate relying on team for objectives. They'd rather thumb their assholes and lose to a 60min luna

It's a pretty fun game, similar to dwarf fortress. However unlike dwarf fortress it's a lot easier to get into. There's a tutorial box that guides you through the basics. A few hours in and I already had a functioning base and was already planning goals for the future.

Though you can also just look online and see how others organize their base, helps put things into reference.

Yeah there's a wide selection of difficulty setting and they also have a cool storyteller mechanic where depending on which one you choose you get presented with a different variety of challenges. If you choose the base builder difficulty (easiest) and Phoebe Chillax (chill) storyteller you pretty much won't have anything to worry about.

Though if you're like me I play on Randy Random (unpredictable events) with extreme difficulty it does get to be pretty crazy at times.

Please can someone tell me why the fuck i'm like this?

The first game i've started to play on steam was Counter Strike Global Offensive in 2014. I was really good at it (legendary eagle, almost leveling up) then, for no apparent reason, i never played it again, after 500hrs of playtime.
Then some friends invited me to play dota. Played for 1 year, ~~500hours and then i've suddenly didn't wanted to play anymore.
These same friends tried to entertain me by making me download another MOBA: League of Legends. I've played it for 1 year (with ~~800hrs) and i've uninstalled it january this year.

Why the fuck can't i play any game for so long without losing my interest in it?

I even tried to play CS:GO again, ranked up to Gold III and lost my interest again in the game.

>4300 hours in Dota 2 (4900 MMR)
>~3000 hours in Skyrim

I bought myself Xbox and Skyrim in early 2012 and that was the first time in my life where I always had access to games (didn't own a computer at the time and family computer was locked behind a password to keep me and my little brother from spending every free hour playing mindless browser games)

In April 2014 I finally got my first laptop partially financed by my dad under the excuse of needing it for my studies and a month later I downloaded Dota 2 and that was it.

Prior to that I unironically browsed 4chan with either the family computer (atleast knew how to delete the history) or my mobile phone (not that I ever had any friends to call with it so had to come up with alternative usage)

Strategy games are the absolute best. Real time, turn based, it doesn't matter.

Though strategy games about history are even better.

On a similair note, what is it with Germans and (historical) strategy games? Why do so many Germans love these kind of games?
>>
400+ days WoW
150+ days Everquest
4100 hours League
2200 hours TF2
500 hours DotA
200 hours CS:GO
120 hours Street Fighter 4
80 hours Skyrim
55 hours Civ V

And that's just since games started keeping track of time played.
I did the math once a while back and I estimated I had spent $700+ on Tekken 3 in the arcade alone.
In the late 90s arcade games were 50 cents per play.

Before that I maxed out my FF7 save. Before that 100% completion on Ocarina of Time.
Jesus Christ, I could go back to Mike Tyson's Punch Out with this shit.

At the very least I could have a respectable career and a house if I done real things instead of vidya.

There is something called the 10000 hour rule, meaning that in a very general sense, it will take 10000 hours of dedicated practice to go from a novice to a professional. It's a way to visualize the time you need to invest to be good at something.

You could have been well on your way to be learning your third skill. It's not too late.
>>
>>35034263
Just a tip: Remember this rule has it's problems.

Take a guitar for example. Let's say you've just learned to play 3 songs. If you play ONLY these songs during 10.000 hours, you will probably master and even improve this songs. But that doesn't mean you've mastered the instrument.

For everyone here with more than 2k hours on a game:

Do you believe that the more hours you play, the more you will get better, or there's some kind of individual limit a person hits and then stops improving?

I've seen many 500hrs people play like pros and 1k hours people still making so many mistakes

A example of this is my cousin on Counter Strike Global Offensive:
>2.500hours
>1000 competitive wins
>Silver III
>Doesn't know how to strife
>Aims like a autist
>Always the worst player when we play together

At least his calls are awesome and made us win countless games, but seriously...
>>
>>35036030
Some people are just shit no matter how much they play I've seen some people improve but most stay at an average level or similar even when pushing 1000+ hrs.
>>
>>35036030
it depends on the person, but for me if I'm not a god at a game after about 500 hours that's generally the best I'm going to get.

2000~ hrs in csgo - was LEM for about 1700~
200~ hours in osu - was still climbing ranks at 1k before I quit
3000+(...) hrs in league - d5 shitlord for like 5 fucking years
2000+ hrs in sc2 - high diamond since s1 until I quit in legacy
etc, etc.

I've really only met one other person who I played with that continued getting better than me after I hit my plateau in any game.

There's definitely diminishing returns. The key to getting better is just having the good mindset, but at first just playing games will make you better. The better you get though, and it the more important it becomes to train with a proper mindset in place. Perfect practice and all that. Of course, it just gets more difficult the better you get.

I play alone or on a server with ppl doing the same stuff, so we can relate. It's not hard to find a fandom in what you like to do, but it takes time to actually become good at the game (hence the 3k hours, i'd say 1k was to learn everything, and then another 1k to git gud).
The sandbox stuff is mostly singleplayer, but it gives a place to hang out.

For the first 6 months, i dedicated all my time to grinding and farming, i didnt really have much else to do. 10 hour days, without multitasking

Let's call that 2100 hours. There were days i spent more, and days i spent more, but not much i spent less.

Then for the other 18 months, i had 3-4 hours logged daily. For the sake of argument/my own sanity, lets call it 3.

Got a better idea: go outside.
I'm gonna be serious on that one: the reason why you are so bored is because you're not trained to be bored. So, for once, try to do something very boring or tedious, and stick to it for as long as you can. Do that repeatedly for a month or two.
Getting exposure to boredom is the only way to enjoy other portions of your life.

I never got into TF2, but all shooter games are basically the same.

For me it is a combination of zoning out to escape life emotionally and mentally, zoning out because I like the feeling of being "in the zone" ( when you're just mercing the enemy team and every shot you take is connecting and they keep missing and you feel unstoppable for a short time ), I like to listen to podcasts and audio books while playing shooters because there's no story and I only speak/listen to strats when playing competitive, I like being in a lobby with "internet people" who I can talk/text/shoot/jump on/ or in many other ways interact with without committing to making friends and maintaining a relationship.

Plenty of other reasons, but those are the big ones I can think of right now that have always made me an "endurance player" when it came to the life cycle of online FPS games. It started with CoD 2: Big Red One multiplayer and it's been history since.

By the way, I'm: >>35037517 so yes there have been some pretty heavy repercussions of my addictive nature.

But you're assuming they want to or have the ability to learn a skill, plenty of people start guitar and other instruments as well as things like drawing, writing, etc, but give up after a few hours because those things are difficult and you don't start to feel the reward from them until you've wasted a ton of time. Games aren't like that, you can spend a few minutes or hours a day in a game and always achieve something, whereas five minutes of guitar practice won't help you with anything.

If I have to take a dump, I crouch like an Indian about to shit in the street right next to my bed so my laptop is about neck level and I can keep playing even though the turd is pushing hard. It physically feels better to be squatting. So by doing that I can get an other round or two in before taking a shit. I somehow justify it to myself in the moment because I do it pretty regularly even though I know it's literally so obscene a decision to make that it could easily be a biblical example of gluttony or avarice or greed. I really have lost my mind.

Thank God I'm not fat though. I've channeled my escapism and endorphin addiction into other avenues. I'll have no teeth in a decade though and I'm not old enough to drink yet so I guess fatties will be laughing with their fancy teeth in no time.

I don't know what I'm compensating for, maybe a bit no gf but probably more life as a whole.

5000+ hours in WoW

Did /played and had almost 100 days played on my main and a bit more than 100 days played across all my alts, can't remember the exact figure

Nothing else comes close. 1100 hours in FFXIV, ~700 across all Civilization games, and like 500 a piece in Skyrim and Mount & Blade Warband.
>>
Just skyrim with like 4k hours, I always came back and found new shit to do, second most played is Dota with 800 hours

I don't know how many hours but I played classic doom for 20 years almost every other day for 30mins - 2 hours per session, only going beyond when I REALLY loved the map pack, which only happened five times (deus vult I & II, scythe I & II, sunder.wad).

>20k+ in WoW

The sad thing is that this could actually be real.

a former guild member I knew IRL as well was on disability and played 6-10 hours a day for 4-5 years until he got bored, that's at least 8k hours. I'm sure there's others who have played more

Soldier is only fun to play jump maps with.

In pubs I generally play sniper or spy except every team I fucking land on has 6 snipers and 4 spies already and it makes me want to fucking kill myself

IMO right now it's visually beautiful, so even if you just want to drive around, it's pretty immersive, and you can play with the physics and shit for hours a day, and there's a shit ton of custom content like vehicles, maps, custom physics, graphics mods and stuff.

Probably 10k+ in Ragnarok Online from 2004-2010. Made some friends and had some good times due to it though. I don't think my life suffered too much, but it kept me complacent instead of hungry for new things.

When I played RO there were aalways people who played 12-18 hours a day on any given server. I know only because I played 6-8 hours a day most days. People who started playing before I joined and who were still playing when I quit.

Atleast Im half way there to my 1k hour goal

Is there any reason steam makes your play time so readily available other than to shame players?
>>
>>35036030
Many hours in cs makes you good but this is due to gaining knowledge and "game sense"

I have played with supremes in cs that had worse aim than myself when I was in mg1

You can have insane aim in cs:go as a gn3, but you would probably lose against a high ranked player with worse aim due to that players game sense
