I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.
I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.
What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?
Games are short (5 mins). Queues are short (less than 1 min). Cross platform. Runs on Linux. Controller support (preferred). Easy to understand, but high skill ceiling. Amateur leagues are fun. Keeps my reflexes sharp. Can turn chat off. A decent esports scene.
What a save!
One of the great things about rl was there were no cheaters but now with bots and anti cheat not sure where it’s heading next.
Im sure the new EAC anti cheat that was included in the latest patch will help with the botters. It works on Linux too. While its unfortunate some of the mods will no longer work when running in Online mode, you can still use mods in Offline mode. Plus they started working with modders to include some of their features in-game so that those who were used to playing with mods still have similar experience online.
This game really hasn’t been plagued too much with hackers and botters, and I think its good to see the devs are still attempting to keep them out.
This is definitely the answer for me, at least since Steam showed up. I have no way of knowing how many hours I sunk into Quake-Q3 Arena and OG Team Fortress mods though
