i got 46.
the criteria I used (which i won’t hold anyone else to, use your own criteria) was whether I played it for more than 2 hours (steam’s cutoff for returns, or at least it was as of the last time i returned a steam game). like I’ve technically played tekken and thps, but only when visiting other people’s houses as a kid, so can I really say I played them? at the same time there are games like yakuza 0 where I never got around to beating it because life stuff came up and I lost interest by the time i got free time again, but I put in like 30 hours so should I say I never played it?
90
Not a mega gamer though. I think that score is because this list covers such a length of time and some of the options have so many versions. Over the years I’ve tried most bigger game franchises at some point.
68 thanks to emulators
49, but many more I’ve tried and bounced off of after a few hours.
Why is Warhammer on this list?
Warhammer (WFB) is not the same as Warhammer 40k, and there’s only like 3 (4 if I’m generous) games in the setting. I don’t think anyone really considers Mordheim or Vermintide to be big enough hits to be listed with the other stuff here, and TW:WH is already covered by the Total War entry.
Six, but Minecraft, Factorio and Dwarf Fortress have been keeping me going for at least the last 10 years, and I’ve played other games not on this (somewhat skewed) list.
