Support NeoGAF

[The_Dama]

I always do and I always feel like there will be some kind of an Easter egg.

 

[koryuken]

Depends on the game and/or if the ending pissed me off. Cliffhanger endings = skip credits usually.

 

[ebullientprism]

I barely watch the cutscenes, so no.

 

[Hazmat]

I let them roll while I do something else in case there's something after, but I don't watch them.

 

[Ishida]

Depends on the game and/or if the ending pissed me off.

Pretty much this.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I go make a sandwich when they're Ubisoft game credits.

 

[bananafactory]

I never skip them in case there's something but I don't actively stare at them.

Sometimes I kind of just lay down and listen to the music if it's good, browse GAF and complain about the game until the credits are done

 

[PooBone]

No. I don't have time to look at the names of everyone who works at Nintendo of Japan, Nintendo of America, and everywhere in between. Credits on games are ridiculous. The marketing person's secretary from an ancillary development studio gets credited in things they've never even thought or cared about.

 

[Heroman]

Credit are boring, so no.

 

[kagamin]

I do the first time out of respect for the devs, if I liked the game (I almost never beat games I don't like though).

 

[Kalor]

I'll leave them on and start doing something else just in case there's dialogue over the credits or something after it.

 

[KHlover]

I always let them running for possible post-credit shenanigans. Actively watching them? Nah, waste of time.

 

[JoshGrilli]

I usually do because I'm interested in seeing who made it, but never because I'm expecting some sort of after credits scene. I'm pretty tired of every movie doing that nowadays. Metal Gear Solid is the only one I expect it from.

 

[hwy_61]

Always! I need to know if there's anything after

 

[Mihos]

Damn right, crack a beer and bask in the glory.

Depending on the beer count, I might even dance to the tunes.

 

[JaeCryo]

Everytime.

One, because my insane phobia finally paid off and I was rewarded for it in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Two... because ideologically I feel the people who made the game deserve me devoting at least like 10 minutes or whatever of my time to acknowledge their effort. Obviously I don't sit there and memorize their names or anything... but it's just a tradition I've always had.

Pisses me off when they include every Paul Marketing and everyother useless position that gets jammed in there... see Ubisoft for the most ridiculous examples...

 

[Stevey]

Yes, every time

 

[Einchy]

Credits are far too long in modern triple A games. If I really loved a game and they had nice visuals I used to watch them but I'd rather not spend 15 minutes watching names go by nowadays.

 

[Equanimity]

I do. I feel a better sense of completion after the credits have finished.

 

[djplaeskool]

Yes.
I have this weird thing where, if credits roll in a game, I let it rock.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Not unless they're interactive or unskippable. If I find out that there is some secret after the credits I'll just go YouTube it.

 

[Always-honest]

I let them roll while I do something else in case there's something after, but I don't watch them.

Same. I'll watch a name here and there but i let it roll for a possible epilogue.

 

[Acidote]

I think I've only really watched the original Mass Effect credits. M4 Part II is just that good. Loved Faunts ever since.

Usually I just leave them running in case something happens while I'm browsing the net.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I barely watch the cutscenes, so no.

This made my skin crawl.

 

[Patryn]

As with others, I'll let them roll but I don't actively pay attention.

If they get obscenely long (20+ minutes) I may start to get impatient. Haven't gotten to the point of turning them off, however, unless it's a game that I've already beaten before.

 

[Ferrio]

Used to, not much anymore. The addition of developers adding every single member of every localization team that didn't even have anything to do with your particular version made me stop.

 

[Pinky]

Always. You never know if they threw in a little something extra afterwards(Easter eggs, new game modes, extended ending, etc).

 

[iNvid02]

nah, telltale usually remembers. although i just sat back after the last of us, it was one of those games

 

[StoneFox]

I like reading the names.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not often. If they do a cool montage or playable bit like Bayonetta then I'll stick around.

 

[daveo42]

I half-watch credits most of the time in the case that there is either another ending or thing after the end of the credits. I might hum along with the soundtrack if it was really good.

 

[SunBroDave]

If the music's good.

 

[RankFTW]

Only if it's an Ubisoft game.

 

[Mad Season]

no. I skip if possible.

 

[Newtype-001]

Most of the time just incase.

 

[SigSig]

I usually do. Leaning back after beating a game for the first time and listening to music from the OST is super comfy.

 

[robertlebrone]

No, and I cancel out of them immediately if possible.

 

[Tathanen]

Of course I do. And every movie I pay to see.

 

[Red Hood]

Only if shit is happening during the end credits, like when you see cool concept art or whatever. If it's just a black list with white letters, then nah, most of the time not. Maaaaybe if the game was so good that I need a few minutes to let it sink in.

 

[Godcannon]

Super Mario World- had all of the names of the characters and I admired the drawings.

DmC- I liked the song, and the extra video clips.

Smash- BEST ending credits, turns it into a game of Smash the credits!

If it's just names, then not really, unless there is some sort of engaging factor involved, or darn good music.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I hope so

Give respect to the people who made the thing you played.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Every time. Even on repeat playthroughs.

I also watch the full credits after every film.

 

[quesalupa]

Yes, on the first playthrough. Gotta wait for those Thanos reveals.

 

[Windforce]

No, I mash buttons to quit out asap. Why would I want to read a list with a bunch of names of people I have no idea they are? It's useless info.

Now if they added pictures or videos for each person or the teams, maybe I'd look at them.

 

[EatinOlives]

I usually just sit back and listen to the soundtrack that plays to appreciate the music, so yes.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Usually I let it roll while I do something else.

The only exception in the last few years has been Assassin's Creed Rogue because the credits had frame rate problems - the credit crawl had constant frame rate fluctuations between 15-25 (approximate) fps. These were also the famous super long Ubisoft credits too so I had to skip this. Only Ubisoft can make credits run badly.

 

[Patryn]

No, I mash buttons to quit out asap. Why would I want to read a list with a bunch of names of people I have no idea they are? It's useless info.

Play Gears of War.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I watch them for the music and to see what wonderful people were part of the game.

 

[BadWolf]

Usually yes in games that I like.

It's pretty much the norm for me in series like MGS, Final Fantasy etc.

 

[The_Monk]

When it's a game I had great fun playing or one that took me a long time to finish I enjoy spending a little reflecting time while watching the credits specially if they also provide a nice soundtrack while the names are scrolling.
