Hm, taking a look. It's working for me, but it's taking awhile on that profile. Looks like libraries > 300 or so are pretty slow. I'll probably want to paginate the game results to fix that

Ah, okay, Good service looking at everyone else's stuff though

Says I've got 3333.66 hours for the main story, but this app is wack.

It lists main story + completion time for multiplayer only games. It also says Morrowind is going to take 188 hours for the main story, which is complete BS.

Wouldn't trust this thing at all.

Indeed. I've mentioned a couple of times that I'm going to give the option to remove mp only games from your list. Also, a lot of the numbers will be crap, but that's HLTB's fault, not min. =P It's not meant to be extremely accurate, just kind of fun.

Yea sorry I didn't mean it was your fault, just found it bizarre.

I'll need to take a year off work in the near future.
 
Make sure to put your community URL, not just your ID, i.e. http://steamcommunity.com/id/screaming_gremlin and not just Screaming_Gremlin for myself.

Try using your Steam profile url.

Thanks I completely missed that.

I have 6289.3 hours left to play, yikes!

Yeah, don't take it too seriously. It's mostly just for fun. And I am going to be adding the option to filter out mp only games soon. (It just means I have to find them all, or at least the most popular ones, first.)

It's a neat little site don't get me wrong. Besides the multiplayer only games it seems fine. My complaint is in regards to some of the HowLongToBeat times looking a little odd.
 
288.5 hours for Team Fortress 2.
188 hours for Morrowind.
133 hours for Counter-Strike.
89 hours for Counter-Strike source.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I've categorised everything and keep most of the categories closed in steam so my pile of shame doesn't look bad.

Looks like I've got some work ahead of me.

X3: Reunion says it will take 501 hours to beat the main mission. I know those are some longer games, but I don't think that's right.

Even though there are many games where the completion data is wrong, the overall percent is pretty close. My backloggery page says I've completed 29.8% of my games.

Looks like only one person has put their hours on HLTB for that game. Maybe add yours at HLTB? Next time I update with HLTB, it should be more accurate if that happens.

I haven't beaten the game, so I don't have any data to add. I haven't even started up X3: Reunion. I bought it in a bundle with Terran Conflict and only ever played the more recent game. They are long games though. I put 17 hours in and didn't accomplish a thing.

488.87.

That's actually doable as something I could spend the rest of the Summer doing, but I have a pretty huge backlog on non-Steam platforms too.

Taking out multiplayer games, games I beat before steam tracked play time, games I got as bundles that I don't plan to ever play and games that I played and quit, I get 2982.67 hours for main stories.

my backlog is tiny compared to all of yours

im glad...

But this motivates me to play Steam games more. But for some reason there's no game play data for Sonic 4 Ep 1 and 2 (default is 10 or so hours, those games are an hour or 2 long), so they somehow think I haven't finished both games. :lol
 
Over 3,000 hours. Well, it is off by a few hundred hours because several games were played off of Steam and I just double-dipped. On the bright side, it's worth $3,440. Come on Steam, I want to sell my games!

Can I ask what browser you use? The css is a bit off in that...(not that I care hugely about that, I'm not really a designer, but I'd like to at least make it consistent between browsers.)

EDIT: Probably IE from the looks of testing that here.

Yeah, my script is having a bit of trouble with finding some games that are on HLTB. Not entirely sure why yet. HTLB looks like it is saying 2.5 hours for Sonic 4 Ep 1.

HTLB should have Ep 1 as 1.5 hours. 2.5 for completion. The game is extremely short.

I need to buy more steam games apparently. Half my list is free crap. For some reason Killing Floor has 500h completion time.... WTF.

Wow, great app!

But If I play an average of 4 hours a day, every day, it will take me 646 days to finish my games, and that is playing PC only.

Edit: I can't believe I only finished 36.53% of my games, and the summer sale hasn't even started... Well, I think it could be worse.

21.3 hours played is pretty horrible. I guess I'm not a PC gamer by any stretch of the imagination. :/
 
How long to beat is the best reason GAF exists, I go there way too much. I think I spend more time working out the beat games to beat based on their length and how much free time/days off work I have then actually playing the games I look up.
Was HLTB mentioned in the GT Doc?
