WOW.

And from Steamdb.info:
My Steam Profile (from SteamDB)

• Worth: £2796 (£718 with sales)
  
• Games owned: 294
• Games not played: 198 (67%)
• Hours on record: 1,775.8h

I'm happy with that. If I stop hunting achievements like an addict, I might complete a lot more games this year!

I don't know what you mean by finish? I usually play games that don't have a finite story/level structure (eg driving game or open world RPG)

Polygon mention that the site uses the database at http://howlongtobeat.com/ to calculate the adv time taken to complete a game.

Check the category that best matches your play style, this is our best estimate for how long it will take you to complete the game. You can also click on the games individually to really break down the stats.

Main Story (Required)
You complete the main objectives, just enough to see the credits roll.

Main Story and Addition Quests/Medals/Unlockables
You take your time, discover and complete additional tasks not required.

Completionist (100%)
You strive for every achievement, every medal and conquer all that the game has to offer.

Combined
All play styles calculated into one.

Prob using the Combined number I would guess.

To "complete the game" in a normal sense, so win all races or finish the main story line.

Apparently the site takes your played games data, likely assumes they are completed, and compares your times against the national average for the game. Then applies your general speed differentiation to the national speed scores of the other games in your library.

It is highly inaccurate, as like you, I tend to play more endless games than those with rolling credits a the end, but for a small approximation and a sharp intake of breath...

EDIT: Better explanation above courtesy of Dooms.

Damn Dooms. Is this your retirement all planned out?

Saw this the other day. Thought mine was pretty impressive until I saw Dooms...

5199 continuous hours

Still pretty high however!

I can't help myself!

This last sale is the end for me tho, I've started working through my backlog and having great fun doing so (who knew I owned so many good games!!)

No games allowed while I'm still above a 50% unplayed!

Oh my my

I've had to categorise my games into "Completed", "Started" and "Not yet started", plus a whole bunch in "Giveaways" that I'll probably never play.

I've still got over 50 games in the not yet started section.

Apparently I could watch Star Trek, all series and movies 9 times completely in that time


But then if I included all my PS3 games (completed most of them thankfully) and the nigh on 1000 retro games I own on various systems you could probably double that figure, granted many many hours would be spent loading from the tapes on C64, Spectrum & Amstrad.

Last Ninja 2 for example I used to be able to clear it in around 35 minutes start to finish, now it takes me around an hour, the thing is though you are looking at 45 minutes loading with it loading each level in as you go (multi load)

I will *never* "complete" my steam library, because I just don't have that much interest in most of the games in it. I'll play them for a bit, on and off, put them down, forget where I was and start again .... so there's really no point even looking at that site for me: it doesn't reflect my game-playing experience.

Plus, I'm not allowed to buy new games from Steam until I have installed every game on my list and played them at least once! That's going to take a day of sitting down and working through them all on its own!
