/Played on Console?

AdamBourke

Does anyone know if you can find out how long you've played in the console UI?

Does the console itself keep track of how much time you play each game?

You can view total hours played of any game for Xbox One. Go to the friends page and choose the game you want in the games that friends have played category (or click "Game HUB" on the game in My Games and Apps). Next select View Leaderboard, and it will show the total hours you've played the game compared to your friends. There might be another way of seeing it, but I don't know it if so.
As far as individual character hours played, we have no clue if it'll be possible yet.

No idea for PS4.

The console does this by itself but it's not the PC version.
Expect differences from PC. A lot of differences

It's a good thing
Different audiences

I'm sorry, but I do not see how not having a record of numbers of hours played per character (like you can do on PC) is in absolutely ANY way "a good thing".

Exactly, Hopfully they can put it on the character sheet, it what witcher 3 does ..
I didnt see it anywhere in console beta, i looked for it. Obviously with no chat log, no commands.
Maybe the chat wheel will let us execute comands? Lol. Hopefully they can find a spot to fit it in. Shouldnt take much effort.

Your save data has an hourly count when you examine it through your system options (I know PS4 does, I would assume X1 does, too.)

So that's the equal of the Xbox One instructions I posted for how to view total combined hours played on PS4.

Still no idea if we'll be able to see individual hours per character played, as you can on PC, though.

That's not the question asked in the OP. He said nothing about "per character". Why are we even talking about that?

Edit: nw, /Played command. Missed the header. I actually agree with Smurf for once though, in that it's not all that important.

Because knowing exactly how long you played one particular character is of no real value.

Measuring active play time may have value but even PC doesn't measure this

While I agree that it is generally useless to know hours per character played in any game, I still don't see how straight up removal of a feature with no replacement is ever "a good thing". At least the text chat removal was replaced by voice chat, not a complete removal like this has potential to be.

Looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree on yet another issue, again. Have a nice night. (Not being sarcastic, really wishing you well.)

Understand that the feature wasn't removed tho

Many people are having a difficult time trying to compare the PC version to console.

Understand that nothing on console existed until BETA. Those features and things done on PC never existed on console so it's not that features and items are being removed but that they were never built into those other versions.

Don't confuse your save file moving from one platform to another with the game versions.
Something can't have a value if it never existed

Things become hard to understand when it's perceived that they are being removed prior to existing

As per usual, you just confuse me a lot when you explain thing in-depth like that. I simply do not understand what you are explaining in maybe 80% of the in-depth stuff you explain, no matter how much I try to understand. That is why I usually leave threads when you start those in-depth explainations. I'm pretty sure it's due to my lack of native English, or even general incompetence issues on my part (I really am not very smart, bilingual knowledge aside.) It's honestly not worth it to try to explain it to me either.

Again, I wish you a good day

I edited my post quite a bit since you quoted it.

Assuming no ninja patch on launch though, I'll be there starting at about 1am Central USA time zone. Can't at midnight due to variou RL conflicts.

I'm curious blacksmurf and zazaaji what console platforms are you going to be playing on?

Xbox One for both of us. I don't even own a PS4, and I'm pretty sure NewBlackSmurf doesn't either. Curiously: why do you ask?

So it's good to see there are going to be other passionate eso gamers on xbox one
