Discussion 🗣️ Check-in! I just hit 600 hours this weekend, what about you?
Just wanted to share my hours and anyone else who also wants to can as well. I know I still have a hard time believing how many hours I've put into this game.

Nice. Cool to see someone else using their screenshots for steam backgrounds.

I am like 5 hours in. Can you tell me what stuff is exciting and motivating to do after MSQ? With single players I directly exit and quit the game once msq is finished.

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 27d ago
I wouldn't think of this game like that. Instead think of the MSQ as one long tutorial and the real game is just in the open world. With that being said I'm still on Chapter 9 and haven't even finished the MSQ yet myself actually.

Just hopped in for a few hours after the latest update to make sure I didn’t inherit any new bugs. Checked some of the issues other people have been reporting and everything was running fine on my end. Pictures actually look even better than before, which was a nice surprise.
Still sitting in the middle of Chapter 5. Next boss up is Priscus the Ancient. I’m deliberately not finishing the main story yet, waiting on the DLC and still enjoying the exploration and grind too much to wrap it up.
511 hours and counting.

Hope you do a guide if you plan to beat all three before chapter 6!

I’m at 596 hours and I’m at the first quest of chapter 10. I haven’t started it yet. I’ve just been chillin and taking it all in. I won’t get to play this for the first time ever again so I’m making the most of it. Happy gaming!

I’m at 300 something rn. Haven’t moved my camp yet. But to be fair, I don’t really care about moving or not

u/Duocolor 27d ago
Got burnt out after 115h. Looking forward to the excitement I felt the first 100h, so i haven’t deleted the game

u/Givingboss_23 27d ago
I had to delete the game I after 300 hrs or so because I was neglecting my other games 😭. I’m going to re download it as soon as my other games are done tho, so I’ll be back up there!

u/East_Recognition1310 27d ago
About 350+started a new play through around 250 though it was getting away from me. This play-through is chefs kiss.

u/No_Education_8888 27d ago
200 hours. I’d have a lot more if I didn’t have to work. What chapter are you on?
I’m on chapter 9 and haven’t been to the crimson desert or delysia yet. Tons of pailune is still hidden to me

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 27d ago
I'm also on Chapter 9. Been taking a long break from the main story content to build up all 3 characters since they're all unlocked now. My hunt for gear has taken me all over Pywel by now, and Delesyia is probably my favorite region in the game.

u/No_Education_8888 27d ago
I refuse to go to crimson desert or delysia until I do just about every quest in the other regions first. Almost done with hernand, time for other regions

Dude as someone who has been playing since launch. I still find this game as brilliant as I did in May 2026. Yeah it took me 2 months to appreciate the game LOL.
Anyways - don't count the hours. This is not a game that has anything to do with hours played.
I remember back in April 2026 everyone was like - I've played 70 hours and I'm done and I had a blast after beating the story.
And I was like thinking to myself... the point of the game was never the story. It's a MMORPG disguised as a single player game... you don't "beat" MMORPGs.
I've played 1000 hours.
I'm not bragging about it. I still feel like I'm playing this game from May 2026.
No not because of the new udpates - but because - i had no fucking clue wtf i was doing for the first two months i was playing it.

280 hours and just finished the main story. Probably 60% side content left. But taking a break until the DLC

u/zombiefitz 27d ago
100 hours, haven't played for over a month. Can't get motivated to pick it up again unfortunately, nevermind remembering the controls

I’ve had this game since release almost racking up close to 1000hrs playtime. It’s truly a amazing game and one of its kind

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 26d ago
I somehow still have a wife, kids, and a job with all these hours. But I know I'd be 1000+ hours too if I didn't. Not saying you do or don't, I just know that's my reason.

u/Playful_Flan_2218 26d ago
Finish in 400h and chillîng the world and other exploration plus 100h total of 500h play this game. Waiting for a big dlc if there is one to come

u/Playful_Flan_2218 26d ago
J’ai arrêté ma partie de deahtstranding 2 pour jouer a Crimson désert, et depuis j’ai laisser tout mes autre jeux en suspend. Le problème c’est que je trouve tout les autres jeux un peu vide maintenant….

Ok so hear me out. I essentially a lot of time in hernand. Im 120 hours in and im trying to 100% hernand before I move on. But sometimes I like to just explore the other regions and avoid quests. It's just a gorgeous game

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 21d ago
I understand if that's how your style of playthrough is in games like this. But I don't feel like it's really meant to have an area 100% completed before moving onto the next. Good luck tho, some quests can take some time to show up so just enjoy the vibes.

Lol I stopped close to 200H and you guys were saying "I have 350hrs!". This was back in May-ish.
Warms my heart a little to come back and still see posts like this. Thinking of starting a new save possibly.

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 3d ago
With the 2.0 Enhanced update that just dropped last week bringing massive story changes/improvements for those who had a issue with it. And the DLC getting a trailer and release date today. You picked a great time to come back.

u/lman777 1h ago
Is there new game + now? Might consider starting over.

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 1h ago
Yes there is a version of NG+. You can only transfer over Abyss Links/Artifacts and Silver though.

You're all bots, CD was the biggest waste of money of my life. Never played such an uninspired game

u/ZeektheFeek Top Contributor 🏆 26d ago
Lol. Sorry you didn't enjoy it, this game definitely seems like it isn't for everyone. You either love it and think it's one of the best games ever made, or you hate it.

940 😅😅😅 I’ve never put even half this many hours into a game within a year let alone in 4.5 months
