It's always bothered me when games keep the clock going for time played, even when paused.

I had a little over 500 hours (but I'm sure that included idle time).

Most-played games:

1) Elden Ring
2) Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
3) Horizon: Forbidden West
4) Ghostwire: Tokyo
5) Chernobylite

Ghostwire is the only one of those I didn't platinum, because the number of collectibles is absurd and unnecessary.

Are y’all getting the panoramic pics on a pc? Won’t show me that on my phone.

Yeah PC

How do you embed an image? I never can remember.

need a hosted link and then put in { img } tags

Thanks!

I've always had a pet peeve about that, even as a teenager. I would completely turn off my SNES so as to not add time to my play time on RPGs where my dad would leave it on, go eat, then resume playing. There are a couple switch RPGs that actually keep counting and putting time into time played even when the damn system is in sleep/hibernate mode. Ni no Kuni II and can't remember the other. I purposely exit to title and then reload the game in those cases.

436 hours

Top 5
- 123 hours in Elden Ring
- 99 hours in Horizon Forbidden West
- 64 hours in Dark Souls 3
- 49 hours (so far) in God of War Ragnarok
- 48 hours in Dying Light 2

How was Dying Light 2?

It was ok. I enjoyed the first a lot more. This one felt like it had way too much shiny chasing and I didn't feel as engaged in the story for some reason. Perhaps it was coming off of Elden Ring that I just wasn't overly feeling it.

351 hours played. 89 games total.

#1 game was Tales of Arise with 60ish. Usually that spot belongs to Battlefield each year but the new one sucks.

1286 hrs.
99 games
1,532 trophies

ER PS4 and PS5 134 hrs
HFW 4 and 5 128 hrs
Cyberpunk 4 and 5 125 hrs
Yakuza Like a Dragon 107 hrs
Inscryption 4 and 5 101 hrs

I played mostly WWE 2k22 🤣🤣

For real though, this game is the closest to old “smackdown”s I’ve played in over a decade

WWE 2K22 is a vast improvement on the series. I hope 2K23 builds on it well.

My top game was Horizon Forbidden West. It was great. I put about 94 hours into it apparently.

Here-Comes-The-Pain good?

I read somewhere its going to be available for PS Extra so Ill try it out.

I’m a lightweight this year. Only 115 hours played on my PS5. However I’ve only had it since April and before that I played everything on my Series X. Curious to know if Xbox does year end statistics.

Best game in the past decade! Pretty sure here comes the pain is longer ago than that too.

Like this game is legit fun…

82 hours for Fobidden west for me. And 22 hours for Tales of Arise, but probably because that wrapped around the start of the year. Didn't play PS5 too much. And of course they can't count the time playing my PS1 and PS2.

Ive owned Elite Dangerous for years but I have never played it. Im kind of afraid to start it up and get hooked one the endless stuff in that game. I love space games but Im afraid of games that are nearly endless.

I bought Elite together with Everspace. I like Everspace a lot.

Some big games coming to PS Plus Premium in the next few weeks including Far Cry 5/Primal/New Dawn, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, a couple of Yakuza games, and WWE2k22.

Looking forward to playing Far Cry 5 again. Tried to get into FC6 but for whatever reason it just didn't grab me.

@kevolones I loved Everspace... looking forward to Everspace 2.

Elite Dangerous is a PC game port. The controls are complicated (much like a flight simulator). Somehow I got into playing it on console with a controller. I just prefer console to PC these days (like sitting in a comfy chair by the TV instead of at PC). ED is a very nice space simulation game, maybe the best ever. Game-wise, it is grindy but since it feels real, I can get past that. There's also a great community of players. Part of what I did this year was hitch a ride to the center of the galaxy on another player's fleet carrier (had to join discord to follow departure times and such, takes about 12 hours). I stayed there for about a week, then took it back to "the bubble" (populated space). cool crap

The developer of ED announced this year that they will not be porting their latest expansion to consoles. That caused a lot of console-player upset. Though, you can still play just fine for the most part. The new expansion is kind of dubious anyway. But yeah, its future on console is not great. They are doing a character transfer from console to PC to make up for it. I did it, but I'm not sure I'll play on PC again. There's some big alien invasion going on now too. The bubble is burning.

Precisely. My 7 year old was playing through the isle of Big Snax weekly at one point this year. She beats it and starts a new game.

Sony's GotY awards is basically just a God Of War circlejerk. Even for "Best Story", runner-up goes to The Last Of Us Part I even though it's a story from 2013. Like, they're just patting themselves on the back with this whole list.

"best story" even though a lot of it is just ripped off from Norse mythology.

@Anxiouz and @beavis you both had mentioned buying a Pulse 3D headset around the time I did. What are your impressions of it after having a few weeks to use it? I still have some kind of signal interference with mine, unless I'm sitting very close to the console. When I used it on my PC (roughly 5 feet away from my TV and PS5) I had no issues with that even when I'd walk to the next room still wearing the headset. Though I think the microphone quality is not as good as in other headsets of the same price, but I don't use voice chat that much anyway.

Another thing about the headset that disappoints me is that they don't have an app like they did with their PS4 headset, where you can automatically apply settings that are made to sound better with certain games (or even just genres).
