Persona 3

Neat visuals and an astoundingly poignant song.

 

[Roxas]

Shocked at the lack of PORTAL in here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

and Portal 2 (Ending spoilers)

Zelda on the Snes
Mario 64

 

[epicnemesis]

I was going to post Mario 64 even before my mind was blown about the camera. That music is so gratifying.
Runner ups are Portal and Mario World.

 

[Newton Crosby]

FINAL FANTASY VI. 30 minutes of pure bliss and satisfaction. No other game ending has come close.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0aVIMAovWk

This.

 

[Soodanim]

Streets of Rage 2. It's only a slideshow and a great piece of music, but I love it.

Whenever you beat a game, seeing the credits roll after you beat the final boss or race or whatever just leaves you with pure satisfaction. But which game has the best credits to offer once you beat the game? Is it in terms of music? Interactivity? Imagery? Or is it something so ridiculous that just makes you want to throw your hands up and laugh?

The ones that come to mind for me would be SSBB's subspace emissary credits which was a mix of all the themes from all SSB games and of course the laser-shooting credits from Melee.

One and done.

I hate credits sequences. I feel like a right tit saying this, but I don't much feel the need to "soak up the atmosphere" after any game, and I always skip them if possible. I loathe super-long credits, at times they can be extremely wearisome. Rayman Origins' credits are a thousand hours long. Arkham City's credits last far beyond the atmosphere has given way to "please end now". Yet with films, I will almost always sit through them.

 

[Jibbed]

Mass Effect and Killzone 2's were pretty epic.

 

[Varjet]

Mario Kart 64

 

[dark_prinny]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pW9x1Ihs8A&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Demon's Souls.

It still gives me shivers.

[Seth Balmore]

I can't watch and listen to Metal Gear Solid 3's ending without tearing up.

Same with Final Fantasy VI's, albeit for different reasons.

 

[Business]

Killzone 2 comes to mind, but maybe just because of the latest LTTP thread.

 

[VALKYRAY]

3 pages and still no

Resident Evil 4

 

[DOA]

i remember this making me laugh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCixCeO00zQ

 

[Chuck Norris]

Kingdom Hearts needs to be mentioned

Greatly designed credits with Pixar esque Easter eggs plus an amazing secret ending

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=y_NOCzkRZXQ&desktop_uri=/watch?v=y_NOCzkRZXQ

 

[JMPerona]

Portal 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVVZaZ8yO6o

 

[MaxSanson]

What.... no Rogue Warrior

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouzh_63p618

 

[Link0080]

Super Mario 64. It's fun to use the second controller to look around and try to find Super Mario in each of the levels.

 

[Oblivion]

SSBM's deserves a special mention for sure. Goddamn, Sakurai used to be so godlike.

 

[sublimit]

Flower

Came here to post this.

Me too.

 

[Blake'sGrave]

Don't know about the best, but Dishonored's the worst. Who asked for that song? No one.

 

[web01]

Not the best but I loved the music and recap scenes in Resident Evil Remake, it felt really rewarding after beating the game and realising your mission was over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9As9dTD6jV8

 

[Valkendorm]

Modern Warfare 2 credits roll was really good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8b-quc64bg

 

[RPGCrazied]

Okami. Although they didn't put the real song in the credits for the HD edition.

 

[ScOULaris]

Shadow of the Colossus takes the cake. Simply breathtaking. HUGE spoilers, obviously.

I also have a thing for credits that feature all of the game's enemies with proper names, so Super Mario World and the original Donkey Kong Country stick out to me in this regard.

The best generic credits scroll (text on a black screen), however, is probably Red Dead Redemption. The music choice was perfect, and it just left you reflecting on everything that had transpired over the course of that wonderful game.

 

[Hellraider]

And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own

 

[Keylime]

Streets of Rage 2

Dat montage music... (7m10s mark for mobile folks)

Something about this ending just always gives me that "fuck yeah, we accomplished something amazing" feeling...and the game has next to no story development to earn that :lol

 

[masterkajo]

Portal 1
Mass Effect 1

 

[StayDead]

I always liked the credits scene in Simpsons Hit and Run

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWIJy7yfJsc

 

[cajunator]

Super Mario 64. It's fun to use the second controller to look around and try to find Super Mario in each of the levels.

This.
Oh god the NOSTALGIA.
It hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Mario Kart 7 immediately comes to mind. I've finished the final cup a few times just to sit back and listen to the amazing song that accompanies the credits in that one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcEkqwLdSM8

 

[spats]

Gran Turismo 5
http://www.taxigamer.com/gran-turismo-5/cinematic/ending-credits/600

Yep. May have shed man tears watching that for the first time.

 

[2+2=5]

Splatterhouse(what an underrated game!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91mBHXjGQzA

 

[BGBW]

Skyward Sword for sure. It actually showed the game story from another persons perspective.
And the music... Dear god the music!!!

Shame that the PAL version was laggy as hell. NoE, why did you have to do that to us after doing so well recently?

I like the credits from Super Mario World. The tune is catchy, but holding up, right and Y makes Mario do a silly dance all the way through.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26sYp1j7nAs

 

[Despera]

I really like how To The Moon's ending blended with the credits' theme (spoiler alert, obviously): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74GoVzAkr1E#t=38m50s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pW9x1Ihs8A&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Demon's Souls.

It still gives me shivers.

Better yet (bad ending theme): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5v2ocf5anE

Modern Warfare 2 credits roll was really good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8b-quc64bg

First track is really gud.

I liked Journeys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ib-txvQbw&sns=em

It really completed the whole circle of life metaphor that i felt the game aimed for, you see one of the comets flying through the air - the same comets you see occasionally through th game and it lands back where you started the game and then the "new game" symbol pops up and you realise that was your character restarting their journey.

Flower

Loved both, but Journey's gets me every time.

Shadow of the Colossus takes the cake. Simply breathtaking. HUGE spoilers, obviously.

And this right here is my favourite.

 

[BadWolf]

The one's I like to sit through the most are MGS credits, the final conversation bits at the end after the credits never disappoint.

 

[dark10x]

Double Dragon Neon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhLi9QeXCqE

Definitely one of the best in recent memory. So awesome.

 

[Roxas]

X-Men: Destiny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTWDo36lUKw

The only good thing about the game was the credits.

 

[shantyman]

No one posted Snake Eater yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FdYd7jOn6M

 

[MrT-Tar]

Melee easily

 

[ResidentDante]

Vanquish
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twaqt9WlMpQ

Fun with an interactive crdit roll, I agree, but it reminded me to much of that dreadful minigame astroid shooter level in Dead Space :/

 

[MYE]

Mario Kart 64

YES

The music...

 

[Majmun]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FffWazMVcOo

Such a great theme, and I love the clips showing the characters post-ending.

Especially the part that starts at 3:03. After credits movie. That music *.*

 

[Takamura-San]

The song is remixed, but still these credits make me shed man tears.

Chrono Trigger: To Far Away Times

 

[Boaty McBoatface]

Panzer Dragoon should live up to having one of the best end credits ever.

The music and artwork are just something spectacular.

 

[LakeEarth]

Double Dragon Neon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhLi9QeXCqE

Such a wild game. Shame that reviewers preferred to bitch about difficulty and score it low instead of learning how to press the fucking dodge button.

 

[Interferon]

inFamous has fantastic credits
Great song, nice visuals, and it's not long
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9iarp4BgqA

 

[Piers]

If you're a fan of him, and know the history,
Sonic Generation's credits is touching.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

"Gore ending" from RE1

It's fun to watch various death scenes from the game with different camera angels
