I thought it would be a novel idea to post what games I've been playing and how many hours. Also show what my friends have been playing.

I think it's pretty fascinating to track what me and my friends have been playing and how much. This way we can see the trends of sales or just new releases or if something like a DayZ mod comes along and really helps boost a games playtime.

In this case, for me, you can see I've been playing lots of Burnout due to the Steam sale price. It's basically rekindled my love for the game even though I actually already Platinum'd this game on PS3. ArmA II, that kind of speaks for itself but if no one knew about DayZ, you would be asking why it's being played right up there with games like Dota 2. That's the beauty of PC gaming

I also find it compelling to see that my friends are playing NBA2k. Likely due to the Olympics and just how much momentum the NBA has right now.

Let me know if this is a crazy idea. And some of you may have other odd reasons as to why you or your friends are trending towards certain games.

You are aware of this right? Since there is a top 100 you should be able to see a title that you want information of.

I am aware of that. I like to see what the individual (YOU) and his friends are active on and why. It's not as easy as a sale inducing higher player counts sometimes.

^^ Cool site. I think I wasn't clear enough in the OP though. It's nice to compare but that's not what the main point is. Mod can lock this if he/she deems this thread unworthy

 

[Derrick01]

I wish it was more accurate than it is. It seems to have problems tracking some games and sometimes many hours are sliced off of the stats.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

The Total War series has such a great, passionate, dedicated fan base. Glad to see Empire and Shogun 2 still up there in numbers.

Thank God or I'd feel even worse about myself.

 

[Semblance]

I'll bite.

I bought a bunch of shit over the Summer sale, yet somehow L4D2's on top. Funny. Saints and Lara Croft are the only games here I've actually completed. MP with friends is killin' my progress.

Lots of Summer sale stuff. Can't really argue with any of this though, my friends have good taste.

 

[JaseC]

Edit: Right now I'm alternating between Kingdoms of Amalur's main campaign (I'll get to the DLC later) and Lego Indy, the former of which I should be done with before the timer hits 140. I finished Alan Wake's American Nightmare after purchasing it during the Summer Sale and have put Just Cause 2 on the backburner for the time being, having sunk a little too much time into the game over the past few weeks (purely SP; I haven't touched the MP mod).

Edit 2: Friends' most played:

 

[ShaneB]

This is one of my favourite features about Steam. Nice to see these stats and see the trends that pop up.... which is usually dominated by Dota 2 as you can clearly see. Just finished Psychonauts, so now I'm wondering what to dive into next.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Here we are:

 

[coopolon]

My old job ended two weeks ago and my new job doesn't start for another 2 weeks so I've been gaming a lot.

Played a ton of FONV as you can see, actually played too much and burned myself out. Now I'm starting Assassin's Creed 1 now with the thought of playing through 1, 2, Brotherhood by the time for the Xmas sale when I'll pick up Revelations.

Learned my lesson from FONV though, I can't marathon games anymore, I'll lose interest. So now I'm going to be doing it an hour or so at a time.

In friends, DOTA continues to reign as king.

I actually think the most impressive stat though is Binding of Isaac, the little game that just keeps giving. Although 3 people make up 70 of those hours.

[LiquidMetal14]

You must eifher have tons of friends or the ones you have play Dota obsessively.

 

[X05]

Sure, why not:

 

[1-D_FTW]

You must eifher have tons of friends or the ones you have play Dota obsessively.

Have around 100 on my list. Majority were added during TF2 and yeah, many of them have clearly made the migration to DOTA.

 

[Dog Problems]

I wish it was more accurate than it is. It seems to have problems tracking some games and sometimes many hours are sliced off of the stats.

A lot of my games are way off when it comes to the hours. Binding of Isaac says 30, I think, but in reality it's like three or four times that.

 

[Paddling Ghost]

Crusader Crack 2

 

[dragonlife]

I usually see my friends' activity like others have posted... but I can't seem to find it right now. Where am I supposed to look, again? I'm confused as to why I'm having a hard time looking for it. The one I do see is in a different layout.

 

[electroshockwave]

I'm pretty hooked on Left 4 Dead 2 and have been hopping between a few different things I got in the sale.

 

[dragonlife]

Finally found where the friends' activity thing was. Anyway:

 

[Archie]

 

[Xavien]

Been playing Arkham City quite a bit since i got it in the sale...

 

[ZacharyDCCLXXVII]

My stats.

Garry's Mod reigns supreme in my games list due to my love for Trouble in Terrorist Town. Haven't been playing it much recently as the server I frequent is becoming a ghost town.

And my friends' stats.

So many folks in my friends list play TTT as well, but I believe a good chunk of that is from roleplaying servers as well.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Crusader Crack 2

Your friends have a well rounded gaming diet. And the slight more niche stuff too.

 

[KePoW]

Wow have you tried all 1189 of your games?

 

[SteveWinwood]

+a whole bunch of other games that I played like an hour of.

I actually think this is a tad more interesting:

 

[Alex]

I don't think I've had an accurate clock in anything since I was a kid. Nowadays I just have too strong of a tendency to walk off and leave things running, or in the case of PC games, tab out and just leave it like that.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Do they have something like this on the PS3/360? I've rarely used PSN or Xbox Live so I don't know. It's probably my favorite thing ever on the 3DS and on steam (even though my netbook only runs simple 2D games).

 

[Tomat]

You can track your XBL playtime with Raptr I think.

I'd say about 85% of my DOTA2 time is being AFK or spectating. I rarely play the game at all. All the other games listed are legit stats.

 

[Htown]

Kinda starting to lose interest in Vindictus; getting the next armor set upgrade would basically require running this one raid boss like 30-35 times for a drop. Ugh.

 

[Nemo]

2400 hours... Damn

I played dota2 for like 17 mins

 

[opticalmace]

Some of you essentially have full-time jobs playing games! Except for the getting paid part.

 

[Gully State]

Adding onto the trend of DOTA2 being most played by people on my friends list. TF2 really doesn't count for me as I was recording a vid just to get the pillar of the community steam badge

 

[DJ_Lae]

It's been a slow couple of weeks for me on Steam, it seems.

Also, my friends have been playing as interesting a mix of games as me.

 

[Nabs]

My friends are on that Dota crack.

 

[shintoki]

I see whose friends with who!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

+a whole bunch of other games that I played like an hour of.

I actually think this is a tad more interesting:

That is pretty interesting. It doesn't traxk recent trends but it still says something worhwhile when the total hours is as high as some of those in your pic.

 

[coopolon]

Finally found where the friends' activity thing was. Anyway:

Wow, is that one playthrough of TLR or multiple?

 

[dragonlife]

Wow, is that one playthrough of TLR or multiple?

I had 98 or so hours for the first run. I recently started it up again on Hard mode.

 

[coopolon]

I had 98 or so hours for the first run. I recently started it up again on Hard mode.

Wow, didn't realize it was that long. Not sure if that makes me more or less eager to play it though.

 

[dragonlife]

It's as long as you want it to be, honestly. I'm the kind of person that explores every inch possible of any given area and fight everything as much as possible. I could have finished it even before the 70-hour mark. Maybe even 50.

 

[JaseC]

Wow have you tried all 1189 of your games?

Haha, nope, not even close. I used the backlog calculator after the Summer Sale and a touch over 80% of my games were unplayed.

 

[soulassssns]

Where do you pull up that information at in Steam?

 

[Salsa]

me:

friends:

 

[JaseC]

Where do you pull up that information at in Steam?

The Community home page. In Steam, click the Community tab twice (or just once if you're already in it), or visit http://steamcommunity.com and sign in. You may have to scroll down a bit to see it.

 

[AlexBasch]

Okay then.

I really invested a lot of hours in zombie chopping stuff. The game is dead online now, I only found people the first two days and when it was on sale, whatever.

Here's hoping that Skyrim hits 75% off on this Winter Sale.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm sorry my GAF brothers... I've been playing the games I've gotten on Steam recently...

 

[jbueno]

Sure, why not?
