Do you watch the end credits when you beat a video game?
I don’t even watch the cutscenes most of the time.
If the game has been very meaningful to me, yes.
no, and unless they are interactive I’m against the whole idea.
I totally get not wanting to watch them, but how can you be against the idea of creators having their name attached to something??
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.
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.
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.
Sometimes, It depends on the game.
Kerbal Space Program players: there’s an end?
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.
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 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.
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.
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
I find that I only finish games I love
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
I do it for a lot of different reasons (example in parents):
- Game was good (Obra Dinn): To show appreciation
- Emotional or great story (Witcher 3): To digest
- Very hard game (Celeste): Bask is the victory
- Grindy game: Finally done so I can relax
