Including DLC, micro transaction purchases, etc. If you got a game for free, please also list your non-infinite next best.

For me it’s Team Fortress 2. $100 total spent on hats and the Orange Box back in the day, 4200 hours plus of fun, meaning 2.3¢ AUD per hour. Initially I thought DotA2 would be my best but it turns out I’ve spent a lot more money in that game than I thought…

My worst is God of War: Ragnarok. Bought it full price for $95 AUD, only played 2 hours and hated it, meaning $47.50 AUD per hour.

    and have around 5,600 hours in [Skyrim]

    I’m amazed every time I hear about people playing Skyrim for so much time… I am aware of mods, but still… How?? That’s nearly 8 months of nonstop playing if you do the math.

    The only game I could imagine ever spending anywhere near that much time on would be Rimworld, and even then I think I’d get bored. And that’s a game with infinite possibilities. Skyrim is a mediocre Bethesda game.

    I dunno, I just find it baffling.

      I mean, that’s fair, everyone’s different. But the game turns 15 in November, it’s been re-released so many times that there’s many opportunities to pick it up again, and it’s really easy to start up a new playthrough and get where you want pretty quickly. Most content is available right away if you know what you’re doing.

      For me, it’s one of my comfort games. I used to play it so much one time that it sorta snowballed and I played it because I played it a lot. When I didn’t know what to play, it was my default. Elden Ring has since replaced it but I don’t have the time I used to for video games anymore. I think I might have 3 hours gaming in the last 6 months.
