Playing FF7 Remake and it does this shit. No reason to really give a fuck about it other than a lot of my pause time is me making dinner or just doing other shit in general without exiting the game.

I will say that FF7 Remake has some of the best subtitles in gaming. They really knocked it out of the park there.

YEah I wish steam games could detect this. My steam showed that I was logged into GTA for like two days straight and I was so embarassed that my gf would see.

When I told her that she was like "Aww that so cute you cared what I thought" so it worked out

The worst is when they track when the game is suspended. Ori and the Will of the Wisps does that.

I hate it too. Sometimes I leave games running overnight.

Dai Grepher: I was wrong. My entire theory is incorrect. Zero Mission IS a remake of Metroid.

Don't they usually have a timer on their own going?

This
My Playstation overview from last year said I played like 3000 hours because Id leave Warframe suspended instead of going through the hassle of logging in/out.

Oh wow good to know. I never actually kept track which makes this topic even more dumb lmao I just assumed. Guess I really have already put 13 hours into this shit.

Yeah I noticed Bloodstained does this. I know it shouldn't matter because I am one of those people who really takes their time and explores every nook and cranny but the fact it keeps track makes me feel like I should be trying to complete the game fast which I don't have any interest in doing lol

Amazing game btw!
