CK II: 464 hours on Steam plus probably another 200 that weren't recorded. Call it 700.

EU4: 822

Vicky II: 35 ...but I got it last week.

Looking at my steam account its obvious which one I like too play:

EU3: 2215 hours
EU4: 695 hours
Vicky2: 289 hours
CK2: 78 hours

I never got into the plotting, killing and the diplomatic aspect of CK2 I also would consider myself a beginner in that game. I really like Vic2, especially the political and economic aspect of it. It was my 2nd paradox game and bought it when AHD came out. HoD was a great expansion that got my back into that game. I played EU3 on and off agian from 2009-2011. But when I bought EU3 chronicles I really got into the game and paradox interactive in general (Civ, total war and Supreme commander were my preferred games before that). I mostly played EU3 vanilla and probably have played 33% of all the playable nations. EU4 has simply replaced EU3. I like it just as much and my experience and ahistorical archievements/goals are getting better and crazier.

 

[Blue - 2]

CK2: 867
EU4:620
Gmod:520
Then a massive drop to
Civ5:283
EU3:279 (Only got it a few weeks before ck2 on steam and played it on my brothers computer for about 100 hours so really 380~)
M&B:250

I have 93 games and I calculated that about 87% Is just those 6 games only two are not pradox

700+ in CkII, 300 in EUIV

How many hours have you played our games?

Cheers,
regina

EUIV - 133 hours and growing
V2 - 106 hours
EUIII - 56 hours

I haven't gotten into CK2 yet. I've played less than 1 hour. EU3 was my first grand strategy title and I fell in love with grand strategy.

 

[Siddyus]

HOI2: 693 hrs
EU4: 499 hrs
DH: 298 hrs
Vicky 2: 148 hrs
EU3: 12 hrs
HOI3: 8 hrs

The only paradox game that I still have in possession that I can't seem to play for long is EU3. Its a great game, but I seem to lack the motivation to play it... I'll get to it eventually though. As for HOI3, I played it awhile back, but my computer couldn't handle it. I don't feel going back to it right now.

Anyway, good job guys and I am definitely looking forward to Vicky 3. Right now Vicky 2 has got me hooked and I am barely able to control my impulse on playing it. I've been racking a helluva hours from it these past weeks. 148 hours and counting.

As for the rest of my gaming endeavors: http://www.xfire.com/profile/sidburn

Since i've been playing since Hoi2 came out most of my games are GG so I have no accurate way to calculate but from the following titles:

Arsenal of Democracy
Crusader Kings II
Darkest Hour
Europa Universalis: Rome
Europa Universalis III
Europa Universalis IV
Hearts of Iron
Hearts of Iron II
Hearts of Iron III
Iron Cross
Victoria
Victoria II

Is definitely 2500+ Hours. More than half of that being the Hoi2 based games.

I fapping love Paradox games, in house and out!!!

Well over 6000 hours in EU3 DW. I dunno how many in EU4 (I don't use Steam), but I've played every day since release.

When Johan said that people play for "hundreds of hours", I thought that he meant on one campaign! LOL.

And here I was thinking my 1600 something on CK2 was a bit on the large side...

This reminds me of when non-strategy gamers say something like: "Don't you ever get tired of playing the same game?"

To which I say: "Not this one"

 

[DarkLordMack]

1209 hours of Crusader Kings, 213 hours of Europa IV

And I cant say i regret any of them ;P

 

[Joemit]

I'm mostly on offline mode in Steam, which only tracks time from one session.

 

[Susanna]

EU4: 267 hours; CK2: 275 hours. (Most of what I've played since last May; the only other games getting major time have been Civ V and Vicky 2 (not steam: hours not known).)

ETA: My other Paradox games are not via Steam, so I have no idea of specific hours spent with them. I've played EU2 and EU3 to death, and a lot of Vicky (1 and 2), Rome, and CK1, though. (I don't do HOI.)

My most-played non-Paradox games are probably Civ 2-5, Sims 1 and 2, Sim City, and Railroad Tycoons 2 and 3.

Brb, starting EU4 speedrun.

 

[WindKing]

CK2: 369 hours
EU4: 416 hours
Vic2: 18 hours

 

[Schmoekoeksklok]

CK2: 212 hours (only just started!)
EU4: 1649 hours (actually somewhat bored now )

 

[Orinsul]

Hmm, that's just on Steam not counting for example the CK2 playtime on Gamersgate non-Steam versions.

Not just the non-steam versions
Even with the steam version, it only counts time played while steam was open not when you just played it from the paradox launcher
