What game do you guys have the most hours in, do you look back on it as a waste?

For me, 850 hours in TF2. How?

I didn't feel like I was playing it that much, and then I randomly looked at it and it was well over 700 hours. To be honest, I don't even like shooters that much.... Well, the Spy is OK.

Finished episode 3 of the wolf among us. The episode is great, as I have come to expect from telltale. However, I can't help but feel these episodes are just a bit too much on the short side. I am exploring everything and hearing all the dialogue and still clocking just shy of 1hr 30mins, and that end comes just as I am getting immersed in the game after such a gap between episodes. This was not the case for the walking dead season 1 which clocked in between 2hrs and 3hrs, feeling like a very satisfying end to the episode. Achievements make this time disparity very noticeable as they pop up frequently and signify the ever approaching end.

Possibly the weirdest and most frustrating thing I found in this episode that I haven't experienced in any other (without spoiling anything) was a conversation that specifically seems to be asking for your input but provides no answers that even remotely resemble what I was thinking. Normally in a character driven situation this is normal, but this was specifically looking towards the thoughts that were essentially tied to the player. It completely took me out of the game and feeling of being involved as I had to answer thoughts that I simply didn't want to say or agree with.

With all that said, I still full recommend these episodes of the wolf among us, despite the feeling that season 1 of the walking dead had the length down perfectly. It may be best if you think you will have an issue with episode length and immersion, to simply wait for all of them to be available and binge. While I suspect this is what I would enjoy most, and surely will do on replays later on, being desperate to have more stories and adventures will out weigh the desire to have a more immersive experience

After the Heartbleed security matter, I've changed Steam password, Steam secret question, and unauthorized all the Steam Guarded PCs.

Then I saw Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut with a whopping 85% discount and I went immediately to buy it along with Nethergate: Resurrection and PA Precipice of Darkness 4.

And here it is the curious matter: Steam asked me for a payment method totally ignoring the previous one. Did the same happened to anyone?

I went on with the new payment method without trobules... I checked the market and Steam didn't limit me there either, letting me to purchase / sell anything, while it usually blocked me for "security checks" when I changed the payment method before...

Is it a normal behaviour? Is it happening because I've resetted pw / etc?

PS: Happy birthday MRORANGE!

Aye, I did the same and had to re-enter my payment details. Seems like a standard thing.

What game do you guys have the most hours in, do you look back on it as a waste?

It's not a Steam game, but it'd have to be be Phantasy Star Portable 2 for PSP at ~700+ hours.

Blands2 with about 70hours. Bought it day 1, so I'd say I got my moneys worth.

Ask yourself what would you have been doing if that time was not used for the game and would you have gotten the same satisfaction or more from doing a different activity?

 

[Hinomura]

Aye, I did the same and had to re-enter my payment details. Seems like a standard thing.

Good it's not just me, then!

By the way being able to use the market left me a bit dazzled. I wonder if it's a little oversight from Valve...

TF2outpost. Unless you mean region wise and then it doesn't matter because the game isn't locked (Thanks Jasec!).

That guy has several for 3 keys each -- a little more expensive than 7.02, but still under $10 if you don't mind buying 3 TF2 keys and using his dispenser bot.

 

[Taco_Human]

Tf2 at 1300 hours. (on this account) and Dota 2 at almost 650 hours. No regrets.

[jaundicejuice]

What game do you guys have the most hours in, do you look back on it as a waste?

Team Fortress 2 ~ 2376 hours.
Dota 2 ~ 1567 hours.

TF2's total was wracked up over a four to five year period. Dota 2 I've only been playing for about a year, which is kind of scary. I don't consider time enjoyed as time wasted. I don't really watch television, video games are my guilty pleasure.

I was about to go buy 3 keys but apparently i can't use the community market because i added funds from a "new method" even though it's the same goddamn visa card i have been using on steam for a year now.

ugh.. thanks anyways i will keep my eye on that site for trades and stuff once steam stops being stupid.

Yea I agree, this ep was great, best so far of the season, but that damn short length really ruins it. I said the same thing in the OT, WD season 1 were all 2 hours+ and wolf among us so far is only getting 1 hour and a half eps..

Really wish they were longer, but at least what we get is really good I guess.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Happy Birthday Mr O [sweet dreams].

also completely off topic but I need to vent, my mom called me and aparently some cunt stole her ipad. I was so pissed off I actually went off on her on the phone (because she was using it on a bench waiting for the bus and some fucker just grabbed it out of her hands and ran, using it in public like that, especially in a bench... not the smartest idea), but now that ive cooled down I feel like complete SHIT for going off on her, shes always glued to her ipad and I know shes gutted. Gotta buy her a new one soon, at least the one she had (the non-air) is cheaper these days.

also I hope all thieves get run over by cars and die, sorry, but I do.

Sorry man.

What game do you guys have the most hours in, do you look back on it as a waste?

XCOM EU 600 hours
FTL 200 hours

A waste?! Good God no! I enjoyed every minute and playing them saved me from playing some of the crap in my backlog that seemed like I would enjoy it when I added it but irritated my tits off when I actually played it.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

What game do you guys have the most hours in, do you look back on it as a waste?

Civ V, 215 hours. Civ games, a waste? Hah!

Spoiler

If I had a Steam account back when I played nothing but Civ IV for months straight, it would easily reach into the 600's, and likely the upper 900's. So many hours spent playing Civ IV, especially the Rhye's and Fall mod, that could have went to something else. Living the dream

 

[Tesseract]

I wanna see the receipts.

unfortunately you can't, bulk of my play time was on valve's won and before steam tracked hours played.

Really wish they were longer, but at least what we get is really good I guess.

The WD S2 episodes are very short too, I thought 400 Days would be an exception but it looks like 1.5hrs is the normal length now. And on top WD isn't nearly as good as it was. Haven't played the newest Wolf episode but I think I prefer that series right now.

Are you sure all of WD S1 were 2+? Because i remember it only taking me maybe 90 minutes to beat the first 3 episodes. I think the only one that took me 2+ was the final episode, 4 almost took me 2 hours.

I have 15.9 hours on record including 400 Days. So over 2.5 hours per episode if I consider replaying one part of 400 for an achievement (though as it was a shorter episode some of the others may have taken me even up to 3hrs). They were longer if you explored a little which you can't do anymore.

It's a season-pass type purchase, so you get all the episodes as they come out automatically.

Forgot to comment that I finished Arkham Blackgate yesterday.
It's quite short but enjoyable if you like the genre, but the combat sucks, it didn't translate at all, but I did like the boss fights though. Also liked the stories of the detective cases, and in that and all the scanning it's *very* reminiscent of Metroid Prime. Still have to finish it 2 more times to get everything, which will be absurdly easy because

Spoiler

I got the Blackest Night suit

.

I've been told they fixed that, and now they charge us in dollars. I even heard they charge us less than in US. Haven't bothered to check that myself though, because I don't plan on buying any Origin game

Spoiler

at least until Mirror's Edge 2 is released.

Well, just checked and it's true!
Holy carp Have you seen Titanfall for $40? (Deluxe Digital Edition for $53)

Yes, and don't forget Mozambique and Angola but seriously, Valve should implement already other south american currencies in the store.

I don't care much about the currency as long as we get price parity with the ones that force us to be locked :/

Yea WD S2 is short too, it really sucks. It must be because they are working on 4 series at the same time now.

Maybe you were fast, my times were all pretty much on par with everybody else give or take 5/10 mins:

Ep 1 - 2 and a half hours
Ep 2 - 2 and a half hours
Ep 3 - 2 and a half hours
Ep 4 - 2 and a half hours
Ep 5 - 1 and a half hour

No it's not as you now only need to remember one strong password and can use different, long and random ones for every single website (which is absolutely necessary these days). And Keepass is secure, it's been around over 10 years, is open source, employs known encryption methods and many, many people use it. Way more secure than our brains or writing down weak passwords.

Mmm I'll have to look into that. Though if you forget the Keepass password you're screwed, right?
