Do you watch the end credits when you beat a video game?
I don’t even watch the cutscenes most of the time.
Usually only the first time. Subsequent playthroughs no.
Some games yea. Especially if it was an emotional experience. That’s my reflection time.
Usually only if there’s something good as part of the credits (eg. Portal 1 & 2)
no, and unless they are interactive I’m against the whole idea.
edit: I phrased that poorly, I mean credits as we know them now (20 minute sequence scrolling a poorly formatted list of names). obviously people should have their names on things they worked on but it is annoying having it be so obtrusive and long-winded.
You’re against the idea of credits?
I suppose their username checks out.
as they are now, anyway. i don’t mind having a screen that shows all the people who worked on something, but this slow scroll over a poorly formatted list is just annoying.
I totally get not wanting to watch them, but how can you be against the idea of creators having their name attached to something??
more than likely, yes. I’d be much more inclined to compared to a movie, for instance.
Definitely. I don’t actually finish that many games, might as well savour it when I do. Usually has neat music, too. There’s a good chance I’ll skip after a couple of minutes if it’s very long, though.
If the game has been very meaningful to me, yes.
If the music is good, yes :)
Dragon kick your ass into the Milky Way!
Sometimes, It depends on the game.
Always. I spent so much time beating the game, might as well sit through the credits. Sometimes developers hide interesting things in there. It’s not like a movie where I can fast-forward to the credits anytime I want, so I might as well check it out while it’s there.
At worst, I’ll just let them run while I distract myself with something else. I don’t need to be staring at them for the whole run. But I’m nearby and ready in case something interesting shows up.
The first time I beat Metal Gear Solid 4, it was late at night on a work night. I had stayed up late because I really wanted to finish the game instead of waiting until the next evening. I was so ready for the credits to roll so I could sleep!
Little did I know, cinematic cutscenes kept popping up throughout the credits, changing the end of the game! If I had just turned it off as soon as credits rolled, I would’ve missed the true end to the story.
Also… the credits and cutscenes at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4 are 90 minutes long! I definitely didn’t get enough sleep that night. But it was worth it.
Only time I’ve bothered is portal. If you’re just going to show me the names of people who made the game I’ve got better things to do.
I have the end credits of both Portal games in my playlist. I think we can agree those are some of the best credits in gaming history.
*sigh* Speaking of which, that reminds me of when I finally played Portal for the first time. Everybody was talking about how hilarious and amazing the end credits were…
Imagine my disappointment when finally beat the game, only to find out they the “hilarious song” was just Still Alive, a tune I had already heard thousands of times before, thanks to all the memes.
Yes, watching the end credits gives me a sense of accomplishment and I enjoy the things creators put in there
That said, only once. I don’t watch the credits on subsequent playthroughs
I always find I wholesome when they list all the people that became parents during time of development. Horizon Zero Dawn is amongst the games that does this.
Horizon Zero Dawn delivering on so many fronts. Love that game. 100%'ed it, and the expansion.
I can’t wait to start my Forbidden West adventure.
