HowLongToBeat - 2022 In Review

Hello everyone!

Just like 2021, I'll be updating daily with a new HLTB stat.

Each day I'll post in the thread and update the original post.

Most categories from last year will return. I'm always open to new categories!

Thanks for such a great year. I love ya'll!

Game with most time logged combined for all users that year? Would be fun to see what long games people gravitate to or popular multis etc.

This one has been added to the list!

nice - many of the retired games were on Game Pass, so I wonder if that has an influence... I know I'm more likely to try stuff on GP, and happier to retire them!

Oh geez. That'd be thanks to my blog thread, but that's a big margin ^^;

Also glad to see this thread again. It was fun to see last year.

Dang, I think I spent more time annoying bringing merriment and joy to everyone on Discord this year... and neglected the forum.

ohh shoot, I forgot we have a discord. I need to check that out.

I've tried to join the discord before to check it out but the invitation link on the button is invalid. Probably just needs to be updated.

If you enjoy my thoughtful and engaging messages in this forum, you'll get none of that on Discord because all I do is talk trash about zucchini and whine about Beartic. Though I think I've recovered from that trauma. I've also been known to wax poetic on occasion, usually regarding two of my favorite things: Final Fantasy XII and AlphaOmega247. I may have mentioned turnips once or twice, as well.

If this doesn't inspire everyone to join the Discord, I don't know what will.

Most submissions by decade of original release? Probably not worth doing 70s or 20s, but 80s,90s,00,10's. If that's overkill, then you could group them together. Something without the skew made by newer releases or year or two old games being heavily discounted/on subscription.

GASP.

How could you talk trash about zucchini???

Great idea. The data isn't as interesting as I hoped. Kind of interesting to see which year of release people are beating the most.

I was actually thinking of the most popular games rather than numbers , but I think that's my fault for using an ambiguous phrasing. Although with those numbers perhaps its not worth it.

However these are certainly intriguing numbers. 80s+90s combined having much less than half the submissions as the 00s puts some recent debates into context.

Thanks for clarifying. That is a lot more interesting than my thought. I'm going to release it as an official one. Top 2 games for each decade listed.

How about users that contributed the most amount of submissions? I think it's neat to highlight people for their volunteer work on the site!

And yeah, the Discord link is broken.

I'm pretty sure this link'll get you there.

I would say half of that list is surprising, the other half not so much.
