Do you watch the end credits when you beat a video game?
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.
This was a triumph
Huge success.
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
Usually only the first time. Subsequent playthroughs no.
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
Usually only if there’s something good as part of the credits (eg. Portal 1 & 2)
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.
Being young sucks.
Being old is not so great, either.
Being dead sucks more, so… yeah.
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.
If the game has been very meaningful to me, yes.
