AI: The Somnium Files I have installed on my PC. Really good game I heard, same with the sequel! I need to play still.

It's so much fun! Def recommend if you enjoyed 999/Virtue's Last Reward/Zero Time Dilemma.
 
Most Played:
1. Pokémon Legends: Arceus (92h)
2. Fire Emblem: Three Houses (72h)
3. Pokémon Scarlet (47h)

I imagine if I actually pick Scarlet up again to finish it, it could get past Fire Emblem (which I spent all that time on just one file? I might be bad at Fire Emblem), but I burn out really quickly on open world games and I think getting two Pokémon ones in a year burned me out on Scarlet even faster. u_u But I suppose we'll see, lol.
 
Most Played
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 179hrs
Pokémon Scarlet - 61hrs
Pokémon Legends: Arceus - 47hrs

no i didnt beat PLA
yes im still playing Scarlet but have not finished
dont talk to me about that acnh stat
 
Most played:
Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
Digimon Survive

Yeah, I dived deep in Monster Taming genre. It's a little bit sad that I enjoyed all these games more than Pokémon Shield or Violet I've played this year. Also for some reason, Nintendo reccomends me to play multiplayer-only game, despite me not playing a single one on Switch.
 
Most played:
1) Monster Hunter Rise (177 hours this year)
2) Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (119 hours)
3) Pokemon Legends Arceus (100 hours)

Played at Launch:
-FE 3Hopes
-PLA
-Pokemon Violet

3+ years of play:
-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
-Grandia HD Collection
-Smash Bros Ultimate



I think something is a little borked with it this year though, it says that Pokemon HOME was my most played game in June....

Probably a case of getting every stat point. Checked times for previous playthroughs:

  • Crimson Flower (Hard, Casual, First run): 65:13
  • Verdant Wind (Hard, Casual, New Game+): 81:18
  • Azure Moon (Maddening, Casual, New Game+, first DLC): 91:03
  • Silver Snow (Hard, Casual, New Game+, Low-grind): 27:04

Severely limited things in Explore (no fishing, tea parties, lost items, or pretty much anything requiring activity points) and Battle (quest/required battles and paralogues only) for the Silver Snow playthrough. Said no to qualifying for multiple classes in a tier and skill experience grinding. Chose between Seminar and Rest most of the time. Skipped through some repeated dialogue, also. Cut down on play time significantly, as you can see.

Wound up significantly less powerful. Compared Petra between the Golden Deer and the quick Silver Snow run before the final map. Differed by 10 levels and a combined 79 stat points. (Accounts for some of that for being in Falcon Knight versus Dancer.) Still won anyways.

Did you only play a few games that month? Has Kirby (21 hours), the Mario Strikers Demo (35 minutes), and SNES (a little while) all for "Most Played" in June. Displays multiple games for other months too.

Could be an issue with the game also. Remembers Rune Factory 4 Special not showing up for year-end stats last year. May not have even displayed the hours on the console.

Oh it makes me feel better to see those playtimes haha. It felt weird having such a big playtime for only one route, especially the shortest route, but I guess each one is just long when you're doing most of what's available at a given time.

Not what I would have expected from a game that kind of expects you to do three separate playthroughs to get the story.

Yeah, that pretty much checks out. No shocks there. That 3% sports is from early in the year, before everything went to shit, and I was doing daily Ring Fit. Maybe I'll be able to get back to that soon.

I can't remember exactly what I was playing in June, but my combined playtime for HOME ever since I got it is just "a little while", while I'm pretty sure I was at least playing PLA if not other games for more than a couple of hours that month.

not that you need anyone else here, but while I'd have to check to make sure, your playtimes for Three Houses are not unusual. I'm pretty sure that I spent at least 50+ hours on each route, and probably more for at least two of them
