If the music is good, yes :)
Dragon kick your ass into the Milky Way!
Some games yea. Especially if it was an emotional experience. That’s my reflection time.
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.
Final Fantasy VI has almost 30 minutes of credits. Well worth it for the 50+ hours you can put into it. And the music is so worth it (it’s an epilogue more than just scrolling text)
This was a triumph
Depends on how it makes me feel. There was a particular ending in Cyberpunk that I couldn't stand to watch. But typically I feel good and accomplished, so I stick around
Cyberpunk 2077's credit sequences are fantastic. I know which ending you're talking about, and those voicemails are hard to listen to.
'cause we lost everythiiiiiing
There was a particular ending in Cyberpunk that I couldn’t stand to watch.
I struggled to get through the one where Judy is "very sad". The voice acting was phenomenal and heart wrenching.
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
That would just be insanity.
Usually only the first time. Subsequent playthroughs no.
Usually only if there's something good as part of the credits (eg. Portal 1 & 2)
Only because NG+ or some kind of end credit scene is often at the end of the credits, which you can't often skip.
Otherwise I skip them because there are usually so many people working on them, they can be over an hour long.
I remember this in the original fable game.
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.
Sometimes. Depends on the game.
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.
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.
no, and unless they are interactive I'm against the whole idea.
You're against the idea of credits?
I suppose their username checks out.
I totally get not wanting to watch them, but how can you be against the idea of creators having their name attached to something??
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.
If the game has been very meaningful to me, yes.
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
more than likely, yes. I'd be much more inclined to compared to a movie, for instance.
Kerbal Space Program players: there's an end?
Minecraft players: there actually is.
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.
Watched the shit out of the credits when I finished outer wilds.
PS: Would like to forget about it all and do it again.
Metroid games, yes
Depends on the game. If it's a game I love a lot, then I'm interested in knowing the names of the people who gave me a great experience
That's the only part of the game I play without cheat codes.
The first time through, yes.
Sometimes, It depends on the game.
Casi no juego videojuegos pero cuando lo he hecho no leo los créditos finales a menos que esté con mucho aburrimiento y aún así no los leería todos nada más me quedaría viendo unos segundos los primeros nombres en lo que pienso que es lo siguiente por hacer
No, mostly because online games don’t have credits because you don’t “beat” them, but also because why on earth would I? What would I possibly get from it?
Only if they're interesting (like Portal) or if I'm in them and I'm looking for my name there.
only if they're interactive
I do it for a lot of different reasons (example in parents):
More likely to sit through game credits than movie credits myself
I usually don't unless there's some sort of entertainment there, like Portal.
Only if I know it's a game which you haven't really beaten until you've beaten it twice (I don't know if this is a thing in modern video games, but it was a thing on the NES).
When I'm in there
