Do you sometimes envy players who have more gameplay hours than you?

Well, do you?

Did you ever stay playing more just to make a few more minutes on time record?

I have a friend who set his profile to private because of low gameplay hours and i find it stupid...:?

So im intrested to know what do you think and feel about this:|

Nope, that would be ridiculous. I play something whenever I have free time, this hence I want to enjoy a game and forget about the world. Imho it is not a big deal... while wasting to many hours on a game, that would be waste of time! :D

Not really gameplay hours, but occasionally achievements. I look at some of my friends who have invested loads of hours into Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead 2 and have hundreds of achievements, while I have only a few... Then I feel a twinge of jealousy. :P

I don't see why everyone only has so much time in their life and some have more to game.

not really.. i may be envious of one accomplisment or another or their level of skill. but this is uncommon to have.

one thing im normally always jelly of is the damned enemies in mount & blade like GD it.. i always get wiped

Nah, but I'm not really interested in achievements of any kind of "gamer cred" either.guynamedbilly

Me too, for example, i never force myself to collect stuff if i dont feel like it.

Another example is, if a faild a full sync in Assassin's CreedBecause i fell to the water, im not gonna do the mission all over again just to try not to fall to the water... and im not gonna lost sleep over it:?

I'm the opposite, I hate when people can see my game hours... and don't know what to say to the odd person that has more then me lol. Feels like a massive amount of wasted time. For example 2000 hours on CS:S = 80 or so days! Granted I love gaming and likely wouldn't have done anything better in the odd spots I play (well less time to play now), seeing it as one big block of time feels bad bro.

Not envious at all, but I do wish I had more time to play games these days.

I was looking on Raptr the other day and wondered how some people had managed to clock over 400 hours on Diablo 3 alreadyAvenger1324

Maybe they just leave in open?:roll:

No, But I envy those who are on a higher level than me even if they have played less hours.

Depends if they're actually better because of all those hours. I've run into quite a few people on l4d2 who have hundreds of hours more than me but are worse.

i have a job and a life. i play video games to wind down and have a good time. i figure most people who have more play time than me either got the game before i did, or have absolutely no life(read...still lives with their parents) what do i have to envious over?

Never. Even with friends I never care where they are at. One of them is always way ahead of me. They beat the whole game, unlock everything, get all the achievements, etc. all in the first day. Meanwhile, I'm still playing for months. Even a short game like Portal 2 might take me 2-3 weeks to play through. I have my own goals of where I want to get in game. I don't care where anyone else is. This is different than how I play MMOs though.

MMOs for me are really about the community, so I will speed through content to catch up with friends if I have to. I also will read about boss fights or encounters to pull my weight in the group. I also read guides on how to play better, but I don't play MMOs for the gameplay. The gameplay has to be okay, but other non-MMOs pretty much always have better gameplay. The grinding becomes boring fast. It's only the community that keeps me playing.

I mainly play multiplayer games, so I would be more annoyed if someone plays less but is better than me. Which they probably will be. On single player games high gameplay numbers shows less of a life - whether that be socializing, learning, working or helping other people.

No.

Sounds like a potential South Park episode. ''You lack gameplay hours''.

Buying a house is very expensive.

I really wish I could play a lot more than I do. I am married with kids and a job so that takes a lot of the time that I devoted to gaming toward my family. I remember in work I would game for hours on end playing with my friends. Now I think that time is cut in to a quarter if not a third

Theres no reason to be jealous. If I see someone who has a lot of hours in games then in my eyes he's nerd :)

Achievements - They should be earned randomly. Some of my friends in Diablo 3 plays sometimes to get achievements and thats stupid. Achievement should be reward for your normal game. I really regret hunting achievements.

Nothing to be worry about. Just enjoy gaming and dont give a F* about some statistics.

That is like the aristocrats of 1600-1700 of europe, which strived to be pale. As it was a sign of wealth that you could spend so much time indoors.

Either it is a sign of much spare time, weird prioreties, or addiction.

^^Fairplay didint know that :)

But as the pattern of responses are saying, nope am not envious at all, good on them.

I know a bloke who works from home on the computer he has clocked up 1000's of hours on games. asking him what his secret was he said he has work stuff on one windows tab and a MMO on the other...Genius! so one hour working, one hour grinding, one hour working, one hour grinding and so on and so on. I told him he's being paid to grind :P

I like knowing my time played purely for my own knowledge. I would never leave it running or play more while I am bored or anything like that, to get hours up. That defeats the whole purpose!

I don't see why everyone only has so much time in their life and some have more to game.
