Some of my favourite games ever

I kind of forgot about untracked hours from many years ago. Probably a lot of Pokémon games would count here for me too

Your hours in Destiny 2 and my hours in Skyrim are the same. Neat!

I don’t have any friends who play Hitman, and it doesn’t get talked about much here, so I’m always happy to talk about this game! It’s probably top 5 of all time for me. I hope you play Hitman 3, it’s good

Some of my all-time favourite games. When Hitman 2016 came out I used to do silent assassin suit-only speedruns of Sapienza, honestly one of my favourite challenges to do since I usually suck at video games. No idea how I got good at that one very specific challenge, but being good at something feels pretty good! I estimate 75% of my playtime is probably in just Sapienza. I also really liked Hokkaido too. The patient zero mission on that map was one of my favourites.

If you get the chance to pick up Hitman 3 on sale I’d recommend it still. The regular levels are all great. I agree that the DLCs and stuff were annoying, but I still got them anyway and don’t regret it. More content for Hitman will always be a plus with me. I won’t buy the cosmetic stuff though, that’s not worth the money to me.

My games with over 1k hours (approximately):

Skyrim - 5,300

HITMAN - 1,350

Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200

Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring

Funny you mention Hitman, that’s been what I’ve been playing most this year, against my typical traditions.

Slightly off topic but if you combine my hours between the three modern Hitman games (since they’ve combined the three into one game now), it’s my second-most played game of all time

Skyrim is usually what I start with for Christmas gaming, before going backwards in the series

I’ll have to check it out then. Thanks. I don’t know much about New Dawn but I might look into it more if I get through Blood Dragon

What do you play Burnout Revenge on? I own it for the OG Xbox but never played it, I might boot it up in the near future. That sounds up my alley

Huh, good to know. 2016 sounds more my style than Eternal too actually, just judging from what you’ve said. I’m replaying the modern Hitman games at the moment but when I’m done with them I might give Doom a shot

I think the newest Doom game I’ve completed was Doom 2, but I’d like to try out the new ones. I bought them on steam, they’re in my backlog, maybe I’ll check them out soon. A friend of mine says Eternal is his all-time favourite game

I loved Far Cry 3. I haven’t played it in years and never finished it, but always enjoyed messing around with it and I did get a fair ways through the story. I can’t remember much of it now, but I might play it again in the near future. It’s the only Far Cry game I’ve tried

That’s awesome. There’s a few vintage game shops around me, maybe I’ll see if I can do that in the near-ish future

Damn, good for you. I never quite got to collecting them all, I never got all of the version exclusives. Maybe one day I’ll try to find a way to get them all. I don’t have too many friends playing the old Pokémon games anymore though, so trading might be a pain

I’d probably like Sw/Sh then. Silver (and its remake) and Emerald are my personal favourites, though honestly Gen 1-6 are all great imo

I played all the Pokémon games religiously, several times each all the way until they put them on the switch. I don’t own a switch so I’ve only played until ORAS USUM. How are the newer ones? I’ve heard mixed things

You’re welcome! Bi-weekly did quite well, hopefully we get lots of discussion weekly

Oh really? Huh. I’m also in Canada and haven’t heard of any of them other than Dairy Queen. Weird. Alright I take back my comment then, other than still believing that A&W is great here

Most of those other places aren’t available in Canada. Also, Canadian A&W is independent from American A&W so maybe their food is a bit different too. Canadian A&W is great
