I don't look at mine any more.

I'm on top of mine (i.e. I've played all the games I'm actually interested in) so I quite enjoy looking at the stats; there's no guilt in it!

Well, I've pressed the "share out my data" buttons. Expect an update in an hour!
Here we go!

My Steam Profile (from SteamDB)


  • Worth: £1602 (£378 with sales)
  • Games owned: 180
  • Games played: 57 (31%)
  • Hours on record: 450.8h

154 hours of that were Factorio.
Oh yeah, over 1,000 hours for me is iRacing.
My longest play time by far was 46h on Portal 2, but that's only because I spent a fuckload of time playing community levels. Christ, I spent about that long on Bloodborne and I never even finished it! The next thing after that drops way back to 22h for Dishonored 2; which didn't feel like I spent anything like as long as that on.

Gosh.

Your bought/played ratio is the highest yet by far, that's pretty impressive.

That's not as bad as I expected!

Top 3 games played:

PUBG: 85 hours - chicken dinners: 0
DayZ: 84 hours - number of PvP kills: 0
Hollow Knight: 48 hours
:DD

I can't believe Mr Dave has more kills in DayZ than you.
It's good to see that although I haven't played most of my games, I've certainly got my money's worth out of a few

I own more games, at 560

But as I've played 278 of them (plus more that it doesn't know about due to offline play) ratio is much healthier

Now that I see that quote I realise I completely misread it. I'd scanned Grim's stats and somehow read it as him having played 85% of his owned games, when in reality his bought/played ratio is woeful.
No, his bought/played ratio is great!

His played/bought ratio is terrible.

I did a double take at what Babma first wrote, and then thought "Technically correct, I guess".

That Steam Games info doohicky claims I've played Half Life 2: Episode One for over 135 hours. I reckon I've played about an hour at the most. Weird.

Must've left it running over a weekend of something similar.
Considering it's 5 hours of gameplay tops, it sounds likely.

The reviews are a bit bleh, but they seem mostly disappointed with the story and characters which is very much a lesser factor to me. By all accounts the mechanics are the same and the focus on actual raiding of tombs is strong so I expect it to be exactly what I'm after.

I'm in the pub right now while it downloads though so even an early verdict won't be possible until sometime tomorrow...

No it isn't..

It's £7.99 a month.
You only get the standard version with Game Pass, I wanted all the extra goodies of the Ultimate Edition, the list of stuff was so long it went off the bottom of the screen! Excitement!

After The Last Of Us (which was INCREDIBLE), I just fancy a real change of pace.

I don't think £80 is that expensive TBH, considering the amount of work that goes into modern videogames, by hundreds of people, across many years.

We do remember Street Fighter 2 costing £69.99 for the SNES in 1992?
I've seen the Forza horizon 4 map. Not enough roundabouts
I have to admit, the game does look glorious but I wouldn't spend £80 on it... But I'm sure I'd spend it on something else so you know, enjoy!

Ready for Forza Horizons 4 fun at the weekend, the way it straddles the XB1 and PC ecosystems is APPEALING to folks and we're going to try and get our Saturday night games fun moving again after all going our separate ways for a while.
