I've been playing Assassins Creed Odyssey for the past month, mostly on weekends and I've barely even scratched the surface of the game. This thing is massive.
Gaming Most value for money game you've played?
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
I like looking at screenshots of the games I used to play in the past.
They look so unimpressive.
Probably one of Football Managers, although the whole series are pretty much the only game I've been continuously buying and quite never regretted that. Honorable mention to SW: Knights of the Old Republic II which is the only game I bought twice, since I lost my CD copy and had to buy it again on Steam, always loved this game and I really enjoy coming back to it.
Football Manager 2014. Last time I checked on Steam I had around 2500 hours I think. Ridiculous.
Not sure if it qualifies but the Witcher 3's DLC I bought for around 7 pounds and it was bigger and better than loads of other games. A lot of fun for such a small price.
Mount and Blade, Warband needs a mention, mostly for how many great mods are out there. Star Wars, LOTR, Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time. 3 quid during a steam sale, must be around 150 hours of play.

I used to 'borrow on a long term basis' a lot of games from friends back in the spectrum, C64 and Amiga days.
The hours spent for free on games like Match day, Match day 2, Target Renegade, Wizball, Speedball 2, Championship manager 93, 94, 95, Gods, etc are too numerous to count
I must have racked up 200 hours in XCOM: UFO enemy unknown on PS1.
The winner must be Destiny and Destiny 2. Over 1000 hours in D1 and probably 1500 hours in D2. So even counting all the expansions and season passes it's about 10-15p per hour

I used to leave my console switched on for days as I never had the 15mb memory card free that it needed to save the game. Played it on amiga before console-one of my favourite series of games.
CM9798. Been playing it on and off for the vast majority of my life.
Yeah, I had to buy a whole new memory card just for XCOM as it used all 15 slots for a single save file!
it looked amazing back in the day.'Ice cream ... ice cream'
We used to have world cup tournaments in our house. I think I played the game for about 3 years in total. I look at it now and I see Budgies!THIS!!!
And Kick off 2 as well

I was playing multiplayer with some friends recently - there's always some dickhead who goes Oddjob.
GTA V & RDR2. So much fun!
Rockstar simply are number 1. I’m buzzing to what they bring out on next gen!

Sensible World of Soccer on the Amiga. Used to wake up early and play for a couple of hours before school most days. Playing vs AI was nails. No difficulty levels either. Just always rock hard. Career Mode was so deep for a game barely even 3mb in size.
Still sunk hours into it even after the PS1 came along.

Terraria. Paid €5, and I've put hundreds of hours into it over the past 8 years or so. Incredibly chill and charming game, with some nice depth to it as well.
Crusader Kings 2. Bought the whole collection for €25 during a Steam sale back in 2016 (retail price was like €125), and I've bought every expansion since. I've probably spent north of €100 on it, and I'd consider that cheap. It's one of my favourite games ever. It has a very steep learning curve, and can be incredibly obtuse early on, but when you get the hang of it, it's amazingly fun. The base game has gone free-to-play now as well, so no better time to expose yourself to the few hours of torture needed to learn it, with no guarantee that it's your cup of tea (it's amazing, so if you don't like it, it's you there's something wrong with.)

Aye. FM is colossal
It’s brilliant how it can engage you despite being just basically text and stats. I decided to sack it off permanently a few years ago since it ended up being a black hole in terms of time The Witcher 3. I’d have easily payed 200 euro for it.
Paying a £1 to play Forza Horizon 4 wants me to include that to this aswell. There's so much content in that game and it's made racing games fun again.
Agreed. I miss having an Xbox almost for this alone. Although wreckfest is really "fun", the game modes on FH are great.
The first pokemons when they came out. I must have been about 9 and sunk 60 hours or so into it, and fully completed along with my brother (who is 10 years older). Been tempted to buy the switch version to try and get my kids into it!
Off for a week and I'm replaying the Witcher 3.... fantastic second time around
Skyrim for me too.
Owned it on PS3, then on Xbox and now with the Switch.
Every playthrough has been different and I always seem to find a new quest or cave that I didn't previously.
Incredible game.
Absolutely fantastic game and I love 2 through to Revelations too. I've heard the next one may be set in a Viking type saga
Blasphemy!
Magnificent game despite the fact it looks like that Every NBA 2K. I spend easily 500 hours on each. Maybe close to 1,000.
Skyrim. I’ve done more playthroughs of that game than I care to admit.
Also Fallout 3/NV/4

One of the best ever!Blasphemy!
League of Legends - I've probably played it for hundreds of hours and has never cost me a penny.
GTA: San Andreas, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, FM 2007, FM 2013, Pes 4/5
GTA vice city. Spent years on that.
Any of the main series Pokémon games. Bar maybe some of the 'third' versions they used to do, I always clock into the 100's of hours on them. There isn't a real comparison bar some of the free to play games that people clock thousands of hours on these days, but I guess you didn't really 'buy' them...
I always loved the 'Facility' level!
Facility on 00 Agent was insanely difficult, the enemy soldiers just kept spawning whilst that stupid bitch took forever to hack the computer!
