If a game has a true/secret ending do you try to get it?

Only with VN's, otherwise if it's too much trouble I'll look it up on youtube.
With some VN's it's actaully not as easy as it sounds sometimes. You gotta make just the right choices at the right time. I remember Stein's; Gate being particularly awful in that regard. I just used a walkthrough from the start, but I don't know how you would make just the right choices to get the true ending.

It depends on the requirements I guess. I'm not doing all those Riddler trophies in Arkham Knight when I can just go to YouTube.
If I find out about it, and the only choice is Normal/True ending, then I'll go for it on my first playthrough if the requirements aren't ridiculous. I don't have time for multiple playthroughs these days, so a few extra hours to get that extra ending are fine to me.
Depends on how hard it is to get. If I can get it fairly naturally while playing through the game, I'll make a little extra effort to get it. Otherwise, I just watch it on YouTube.
I see how difficult it is, and how much I like the game's story and decide. And usually on my first playthrough unless it is forced only on second playthrough.
I usually try to get secret endings in Kingdom Hearts games since they are not that hard and I love KH's story.
I gave up on the true 100% ending on FFX-2 since it seemed way too hard to get. I did get the regular true ending though.

Not on a first playthrough, but maybe with something like P4G, where a second playthrough just seems like an unreasonable demand.
I did stumble into Sekiro's "true" ending on a first playthrough, but I think that was just because I was thorough.

Yeah, I like them.
Someday I will try again forvthe FFX-2 one.
No way in hell I will ever try the crossedge one again tho.

If it has extra playable content behind it like Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, yeah I'll make more of an effort.
If the requirements are reasonable I'll try and get it.
That said I dont understand why developers spend so much resources on true/secret endings when such a small % actually completes games to begin with. It can be nice for the die hard fans I guess. I prefer games that has one ending honestly.

Depends on how different the ending is and how you get it. Some games it feels like the true ending is really just part of the game and you'd be missing a lot from not getting it, like Hollow Knight and Blaster Master Zero. If it's a game where the difference is just a minor change in a cutscene then I don't really care.
I've only ever done it for Kingdom Hearts 1 and Assassins Creed II, I don't have the time or willpower for that collectathon bs
It's an effort-to-reward calculus.
Are the requirements largely inline with what I was already doing and/or lead to new content? Okay, I'll do it (e.g. Persona 5R's true ending path). But if the requiements are a tall order and all you get is a new scene... eh, I'll probably just YouTube it (e.g. what I begrudingly do for most KH games).

depends on length of game for me. If i'm putting in 80 hours of my life and i get the bad ending, i'm heading to youtube. I have a life to live
Yeah I'll often go for it in my first playthrough if it's possible but more for completions sake, rather than any real interest in what it means for the story.
Depends on the time investment. If I have to 100% a game or something like Riddler trophies then that's a nope from me.
Depends heavily on what i have to do to get it; I'm not going through all 243 riddler trophies for such a small payoff when I can get the same on YouTube, but I will put the effort for games like the latest God of War, which requires the littlest of efforts.
It's a bit irrational, but sometimes just the idea of there being a "true ending" at all turns me off a bit. It often feels implemented in a very mechanical and "game-y" way, turns the experience into some sort of rubric you have to adhere to in order to receive the intended narrative. I know that's not always the case though.
It really depends on how I feel about the game and the requirements for the ending upon completion.

I'm not looking up how to get any aendings the first time I play through something — it has to be all organic.
So it depends entirely on how strenuous the achievement requirements are, and on how signposted the different endings are (eg is it obvious that there is a true ending or is it something you wouldn't even know about unless you hit some random unrealised criteria — as much as I love Persona 4, I can see that happening for a lot of people.).

Nah. I'll take whatever ending my playthough led to. Maybe, on the off chance that I actually replay a game, I'll try to get a different ending, but I'll generally not go out of my way to do so.
I mostly YouTube difficult-to-get-secret-endings. I don't have much time to spend many hours doing a particular thing just to get a 2 minutes cutscene.
Whoever saw the secret ending to Parasite Eve by actually doing what you are intended to do, you have my respect.
