  • 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.

  • I always sit through credits in movies and most TV if I've enjoyed it, games are no different. I like acknowledging the folks who make the things I enjoy.

    There's also the chance of some post-credits plot material or other good stuff. I found myself absorbed way into the plot of the first Metal Gear Solid game and I'll never forget the surprise phone conversation which played after those credits, or the absolute chill the final two words of it sent up my spine. (The somewhat underwhelming ways in which that particular plot reveal was taken up in the subsequent games notwithstanding.)

    • Same with me. If it's really good it's my simple way of honoring them. Plus the music is usually top notch

      • Totally agree on the music. Bopping in my seat to the game's tunes for one last stretch can be a nice victory lap.

  • 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.

  • What do you mean "beat a video game" ?

    I buy them play 20 hours get side tracked never finish them and pick up something else, didn't even know there was credits

  • Only if I've had a lot of fun and want to know who is responsible for my happiness, or if the game doesn't allow me to skip them.

  • More likely to sit through game credits than movie credits myself
