I tracked down the guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing for over 8,000 hours, and came away convinced he was right (www.pcgamer.com)

8k hours is a lot.
That's like PhD level, into a game I've never heard of before now.
Sure, It's trust their input.

I've played osrs some 15000 hours but I suck at it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's osrs?

Old School RuneScape (I had to Google it)

Thank you for the leg work on looking what it is and then replying, thinly remarking that I could have googled it instead ;)

I wouldn't feel bad about asking here rather than googling it yourself. I like the engagement, personally.

That is over 10 years at 4h a day every single day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

~7 years, but couple breaks lasting up to half a year or something

Isn't OSR a bit "plodding to success" as you can always grind up your skills?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah it kinda is, but the skill ceiling in pvp and pvm is massively high.

There's people who can do all the bosses in game eyes closed without hands and then there's me who can sit clicking that same rock for a year

[–] Valmond 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah I remember the mining clicking 😂 with the stone spontaniously combusting 😋

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

And breaking your pickaxe if you didn't click away lol. Some of the random events were wild lmao

Those are rookie numbers for strategy games.

Competency starts around 1500 hours.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, I'm still a noob in EU4 after nearly 1000 hours. I'll get the hang of it eventually. 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Can confirm, still suck at every PDX game despite a thousand or hundreds of hours in them.
