Do you watch the end credits when you beat a video game?
Only if there is something to watch during them. If it’s just a bunch of names scrolling across a static screen then 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
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 always sit through credits in movies and most TV if I’ve enjoyed it, games are no different. I like acknowledging the folks who make the things I enjoy.
There’s also the chance of some post-credits plot material or other good stuff. I found myself absorbed way into the plot of the first Metal Gear Solid game and I’ll never forget the surprise phone conversation which played after those credits, or the absolute chill the final two words of it sent up my spine. (The somewhat underwhelming ways in which that particular plot reveal was taken up in the subsequent games notwithstanding.)
Same with me. If it’s really good it’s my simple way of honoring them. Plus the music is usually top notch
Totally agree on the music. Bopping in my seat to the game’s tunes for one last stretch can be a nice victory lap.
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.
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.
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.
I usually don’t unless there’s some sort of entertainment there, like Portal.
If the music is good, yes :)

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)
This was a triumph
Huge success.
Casi no juego videojuegos pero cuando lo he hecho no leo los créditos finales a menos que esté con mucho aburrimiento y aún así no los leería todos nada más me quedaría viendo unos segundos los primeros nombres en lo que pienso que es lo siguiente por hacer
Some games yea. Especially if it was an emotional experience. That’s my reflection time.
Only time I’ve bothered is portal. If you’re just going to show me the names of people who made the game I’ve got better things to do.
