Do you sit through the credits?

[AaronMT]

Yes. Usually to see if a save happens or if anything happens post credits.

 

[Mesoian]

Most of the time no. Big budget games can have credit sequences that last up to 20 minutes.

 

[Stay Up Be Easy]

Yeah.

There's may be a surprise ending.

And Rayman Origins let you play with the credits.


Such a wonderful fucking game.

 

[astro]

Always.

The way I see it is the Men and Women that created this game for me to play and complete put tons of hours of effort, blood, sweat and tears into this game in making it what it is so the least I can do is sit through 15-30 minutes of Credits to at least try to give them some recognition for their efforts on my part.

Do you ever actually remember them, or look up their work, etc... outside of the key players?

 

[Deleted member 364]

yea unless I didn't like the game

 

[SpecX]

No unless you have something that can grab my attention like cutscenes, montage, music or an image slideshow

Click to shrink...

This is me as well

If it's a wall of names scrolling on a black background with nothing of interest going on, I'll skip if there's the option or walk away till it finishes.

 

[En-ou]

If the music is good and can capture the experience. Super Mario 64's is godlike.

 

[eraFROMAN]

Years ago, I told myself to sit through credits, because one day I'd be in some. That happened! But I still will sit through credits if I have time as a respect thing. I've caught friends and people moving up and around by doing so.

 

[Goldenroad]

Nah. I'll usually let the credits roll, but I'm getting up and going to the bathroom or getting a snack or playing with the cats or whatever at that point.

 

[Deleted member 17092]

No and I think it's ridiculous when people do this at movies. And clapping at movies lol. No one who made the movie or game is there. How is it "respecting" anything. If you want to know all the names of the people who made the movie or game (and why do you even want to know this? You won't remember more than a few names regardless), you can just look it up online.

like I guess I kind of get doing this pre-internet, aa if you really wanted to know who handled a certain aspect of the game there used to be no other way really the credits.

 

[lovecatt]

I'll leave it on but I won't pay attention

 

[Weebos]

I usually let them run, but I don't sit and watch the names scroll by.

I stand up and multitask while they're running.

 

[Shopolic]

I do other things while the credits is running and listen to its music and wait for probable after credits. But watching the whole credits? No.

 

[Falchion]

For games I do sit through the credits (hated that GTA V's was like 45 minutes), but for movies I don't unless there's something at the end.

 

[onpoint]

I watch them. I earned them. I also get kind of annoyed when the developer doesn't thank the player for playing. That's one of my favorite traditions.

 

[Killyoh]

No and I think it's ridiculous when people do this at movies. And clapping at movies lol

Click to shrink...

What's wrong with clapping at the movies ? You know the director always hide close to the exit right ? A few people know that but it's true. That's why there's only one screening of the movie at the time in the whole world. #TheMoreYouKnow

 

[Mentalist]

Yes, when I finish the game the first time. It's part of the experience.
If I'm re-playing the game, i will only do so if I know there's something in the end.

 

[b3llydrum]

I sat through the credits of Rime. But that's because I couldn't move due to my uncontrollable crying into my beanbag chair.

 

[pikablu]

Always. I remember my friend hitting skip on halo 2 and I missed the after credits bit.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

No.

 

[Mankoto]

If it's been 10 minutes and I'm still learning who was involved in it, I'm sorry, but that's enough from me.

 

[DisturbedSwan]

Do you ever actually remember them, or look up their work, etc... outside of the key players?

Click to shrink...

Yeah I definitely google a few names afterwards to see their exact job, how long they were working on the game/at the studio etc.

 

[Dandy]

No.

 

[Mendrox]

No never except for times where there is still gameplay. Otherwise.. I wouldn't remember any names or anything and I am also not interested in it. If I cant skip it I will do something else. The best developers just put a option on the main menu

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Usually yes. Because most of the time they have good music and some neat screens.
But often these days they are waaaaay too long, so I stand up and grap soething to eat or
go on the toilet.

 

[Hate]

Not really. Unless there's something substantial to the credits.

 

[Tyaren]

Yeah, most of the time, especially when the game really touched me. It's the perfect way to let the experience fade out.

 

[Flevance]

If the soundtrack was good then yep

 

[Minky]

Yep, pretty much every time. Nice way to top off the experience and let it close out. That and it feels like the polite thing to do!

 

[DaleCooper]

Hell no. I skip it always.

 

[eXistor]

I either skip (when allowed) or switch to another channel until they're over.

 

[Danim]

No, always skip them unless some kind of effort is made to make them worth sitting through.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Yeah I'll sit there and let them roll, because I like to see how ridiculously long they've gotten nowadays.

 

[slothrop]

Usually at least once. Games often have unique music or slideshows and whatnot during their credits.

 

[Unaha-Closp]

I have to really like a game to finish it so in that case, I sit through the credits. I never see the credits for games I don't like playing.

 

[AzureFlame]

Sometimes If the music is good.

 

[Deleted member 29249]

Best credits ever

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yes even Ubisoft ones

 

[Bold One]

Not for Sony and Ubisoft games.


Ain't nobody got time for that.

 

[PuppetMinion]

I usually leave the room and let them roll on their own.

 

[Deleted member 18400]

Usually but only for the music. I appreciate all the people that went into making the game but it's not like I'm going to remember all the names, so I would be lying if I said it was to "pay respect" or some such nonsense.

 

[kubev]

I do, though the degree to which I pay attention to them varies. If there are scenes that carry over into the credits, or even if there are background images, then I'll generally pay attention to the credits. Honestly, for movies, I just do a quick Google search when the credits begin to see whether there's anything of interest during or after the credits, as I don't want to miss anything but also don't want to waste time waiting for nothing. I wish that was nearly as convenient to do for game credits.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

I usually browse discussion about the ending while listening to the music. If it's longer than 15 minutes, then I skip it.

 

[Pyro]

I skip them :\

I liked that trophy in the PS3 reboot of Twisted Metal though that you got it you watched the credits.

 

[Skux]

Every time, but I might end up getting on my phone while the credits roll and then glance back every now and then and silently thank the texture artist or programmer whose name scrolls past.

 

[ffdgh]

I feel obligated to for the first completion. Beyond that? Lol no.

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

I always let them play out. I do it out of respect for everyone who has sacrificed to create something I enjoyed.

 

[jamoku]

Always - I use it as time to reflect on my play experience whether good or bad

 

[nded]

Only if the music is good.

 

[N64Controller]

Usually not. I sometimes do watch a little just out of curiosity to see who goes for "Everyone in alphabetical order" vs titles.

Just a huge list with everyone who worked on the game is the best. Credits dramas are the worst.

I do also like when credits are used to show art, tell a story, play good music, etc.
