noervus Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hello, Now that we have access to our time played on PS4 and PS5 games it could be great to have them in our cabinet add a real value to PSNProfiles. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy_Oglop Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 How accurate would the process of pulling the data from PSN be? Exophase have been pulling time played data forever but it's rarely accurate in my experience, i'm assuming PSNP will be pulling from the same source. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmx969 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) The time played isn't accurate even on the console itself, so i can't see an API fix it. Mhw save file says 2058h, console says 986 GT7 in game time says 80h, console 68 Elden ring save 125h, console 72 In never put the console offline so psn should be able to track it properly but that's not the case. I would say only 60% of my games have correct times, the rest is just way off. But i would like the feature added anyway even if not accurate on every game.

Xenoblast91 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I fully and completely support this with all my soul and heart! Yes, definitely. Completion times has never ≠ Time played until completion. I want to see this burn down! ? LMAO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noervus Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Great to see that some of you are up to it!

Even though it isn't perfect some part of match and shows us a metric to acknowledge the effort put into the game. Instead of a time in hours we could think about a grade based on the majority of the people of played the game, like the trophies actually. In my opinion this is something that could really add value into the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are extremely inaccurate sometimes, on both external websites as well as PSN itself. That would turn into a shitfest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HusKy Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Personally, I like to see my times as most of them are quite accurate from my own experience. (Some of the times are definitely wrong though.) Edited April 2, 2022 by HusKy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wltrsjcwvita Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It'll definitely be awkward when my Skyrim VR or Borderlands 2 VR records say they took me 3 days each, but my PS4 thinks that I've never touched PSVR in my life ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HusKy Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just now, amurnin100 said: can’t imagine it would store gameplay time and sync to Sonys servers when you go log in Why can't you imagine this? They already do this with other data including trophies. The only issues I can see come from having multiple consoles and switching between them. Not sure how they handle this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me, just wondering how it works, even it is from multiple consoles , providing it’s from the same save, they should add up to the correct gameplay time. I’m intrigued on how some times are inaccurate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiyanbloodstyle Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I would love this mainly for PS3 games which are not tracked at all, i don't mind it not being 100%, it isn't on the PS5 anyway but not sure it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) No this is a stupid idea for many reasons.. - Other non gametimes are also added, like if you go for a piss / sending a message to a friend etc, time still accumulates for the time you are not playing but when your console is left on - Do we honestly trust the devs/Sony to have this information accurate/secure? - It's easy to fake, I mean there's nothing stopping you playing a game offline, backing up your save to a cloud quickly and then formatting your system and loading your save from the cloud. These stats are like auto syncing with trophies and not reliable and nobody knows exactly when it happens (for me it never happens when I am connected to the playstation store even when set to auto) - It will end up just being an excuse used by cheaters "Oh I earned that trophy too fast did I? Aha got you! Look at my playtime it's over 100 hours!" (Who knows if they just left their console playing in the main menu for 95 hours) On the plus side, if the staff at psnprofiles do have this PS5 data from users, it should be kept hidden and used specifically as a second opinion to a cheater dispute that is difficult to tell if cheating occurred.

BeautifulTorment Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I would really dislike a feature like this for the reasons already stated. The PSN times are wildly inaccurate. Basing any sort of inferences off them is just inviting flagging errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Ok, so make the numbers only visible to yourself and only in your own profile. I still don't see a problem with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Not all the numbers are 100% accurate for me (I wonder if it's slow to update the hours played) but it's an OK litmus indicator. I'd be more interested in seeing this implemented for a This Game has an average of XX hours played - sort of thing, counting only for those who got platinum.

I agree that a aggregation by game could be a great way of having a relatively good insight. Otherwise it could be great to have hours shown only to the owner of the PSN account.

steel6burgh Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Displaying my time played in a game serves no purpose whatsoever. It's just a feature for nosy people. doesn't anybody have any value of privacy anymore? the times are largely incorrect on exophase. I personally leave my game on and take showers, go to the store, walk my dog all while the time counter is running on how long i played the game so the whole concept is stupid and insignificant information anyway.

sepheroithisgod Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I support it. Seeing the time next to a game can help people realize how much time goes into some titles. Both for the plat and well past it. For example, with the new Fallguys list, I think people may feel a little better seeing someone spend a couple of hundred hours in the title versus just logging in for the free plat. That said, some of the times are flat-out wrong. Most are fine, but there are definitely inaccuracies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
