Guest Posted March 4, 2012 Too much... or not enough, depending on how you look at it. scalliano said:I'm in the THOUSANDS, easily. Right there with ya, big guy! 0 Share this post Link to post
yellowmadness54 Posted March 4, 2012 I play doom a lot, but in short bursts. Maybe..... 50-100.... Even that sounds a tad too high.... 0 Share this post Link to post
Acid Posted March 4, 2012 After playing years of online dooming, several hundred hours. Including when I was a kid and all that playtesting, barely scratching 1000 I guess. Also, this thread is depressing. 0 Share this post Link to post
PRIMEVAL Posted March 4, 2012 A little bit. Probably played Quake or Unreal more, honestly. The amount of time I've spent playing Doom is probably about half the time I do making music for PWADs. 0 Share this post Link to post
[PROTOTYPE] Posted March 4, 2012 I started playng Doom around 10 years ago.Since I'm pretty much of a no-lifer,my gameplay time goes in the thousands.I mean,there were days when I played 16/24 hours.This game rocks! 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted March 4, 2012 This is like that question "How many monsters have you killed so far": impossible to answer. I've been playing or watching Doom since I was 7 I think, but not continuously. There have been pauses when Doom wouldn't work on the current computer, or myself being interested in another game, or just finishing it and having nothing else to play because I didn't know of WADs. These days, I only seldom play Doom; I spend more time programming/modding/testing and especially posting about it on forums. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted March 4, 2012 I would think somewhere in the 600's. I killed a lot of time in middle school and high school playing megawads, which had to have been 6-10 hours a day, almost double that for weekends. At this point, I still play at least an hour every other day. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted March 4, 2012 Oh god, that includes playtesting our own crap. Of the 18 years I've played it? There's what, 8000 hours in a year? Thousands, easily. I've logged in about 20 hours in the past couple of days. I breathe, eat, and sleep Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scypek2 Posted March 4, 2012 Well, a long time ago, i was playing doom really frequently, but this time I was about 5 years old so I was mostly wandering pointlessly with iddqd. Later i kinda discovered doom again and spend fair two-digit number of hours playing it. Maybe because when I stop playtesting map01 and hit exit switch, I can't stop myself from playing map02 and when I'm turning the game off, it is already map10... 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted March 4, 2012 Wouldn't have a clue as I have never taken record. 0 Share this post Link to post
Archy Posted March 4, 2012 At least 2190 hours, that's two hours everyday for three years; sounds about right. By the way, post COMPET-N entries here. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted March 4, 2012 Relic said:I estimate I've played around 250 - 300 hours total. Is that all? Wow! I'd actually rather not know. It probably adds up to months of my life consumed by the game. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted March 4, 2012 I don't know, but I have a feeling if I found out I'd be very depressed to realise how much of my life has gone into this game. There's 8766 hours in a 365.25 day year and I know that just for the /newstuff reviewing that I've done alone I've played nearly 48 hours (2 full days) of Doom. That's over a time frame of around 2 months. Doom has been out for about 219.5 months according to some calculations I've just done, so assuming I've played at least this much Doom on average since it came out (which is probably an underestimate) we get 5268 hours of Dooming. That's coming on for 2/3rds of a year or about 7.2 months. Now of my life (rounded to 269 months) that means I've spent at least 2.6% of it playing Doom. Now add in all of the time spent making maps and mods and all of the time spent on various Doom forums? Like I said: very depressed :( 0 Share this post Link to post
bytor Posted March 4, 2012 I figure I had 2000 by the year 2000 and around 300 since. 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted March 4, 2012 Well, about 2 - 3 hours a day for 16 years...so about 16000 give or take. 0 Share this post Link to post
C30N9 Posted March 4, 2012 The answer to this actually is the same as the answer to "How many Imps have you killed?". 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofheck82 Posted March 5, 2012 God only knows; I have no idea. Quite a bit, or far too much if that sounds better to you. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
NiTROACTiVE Posted March 5, 2012 How many hours have I played Doom in my lifetime? Man, I dunno... like about, umm... over 20 hours. That's my guess. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted March 5, 2012 Fun fact: Doom first dropped on December 10th, 1993. 6660 days ago. :O 0 Share this post Link to post
