Right. So emailing the company telling them how much you enjoyed the game would be saying thanks. Watching the credits would be if the waiter came up shoved the menu in your face again and said THIS IS THE MAN WHO MADE YOU PORK CHOPS.Danzorz said:

Sometimes it's funny to see the random crap they put in the credits. Movies are the worst. Caterer? 2nd carpenter's helper? who cares?
There are some in video games too, but I can't really remember any

Nope they don't bother me at all. IF I don't like the music playing I will walk out and do something or switch the tv to cable. What pisses me off is when they give you a huge instruction book with half of the important info missing and fill it up with the credits.
You're absolutely right. These people put in incredibly long hours and work their butts off at a difficult job. They deserve to have their names out there. Even if a lot of gamers might not stick around to watch them, they have every right to put them there for people who do. Making them unskippable is fine, as they usually only take a few minutes. They deserve recognition for their work. And don't think for a second that if you worked on something for that long that you wouldn't also like some credit for it.ZeroMachine said:
If you're saying they should allow you to skip the credits, I completely disagree. Those people worked hard for years to bring you a game that you enjoyed enough to finish, they deserve to have their moment in the sun. Now, making them more enjoyable to watch, that seems to make sense because, as you've pointed out, if it's just a dull crawl of names, you're going to either turn off the game or bugger off and make a sammich or something.
Perhaps they should take the Pixar approach and throw in some bloopers.

You can do the same, just press the PS button and go back to XMB.maddawg IAJI said:

Hey, I remember that! Wasn't the game Enter Electro, or something?scnj said:
Generally, I get annoyed at unskippable credits. If there's something to amuse me, then I'm all for them, like:
Kingdom Hearts II - There's a montage of what happens in all the worlds after you finish and restore peace, which was quite nice.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition - I'm not sure if this was in the basic game, and the credits weren't strictly speaking unskippable, but you fought a massive horde of enemies from the game as the credits went up, alongside Lady, and if you kiiled over 100 enemies you got an extra special ending.
Credits should not be skippable. In fact, people should be forced to actually read them. The people in those credits took the time to create a game that you obviously liked enough to finish, so you should take the time to find out who made that game possible.
Why? How many TV programs do you read the credits of? How many books do you look in the inside cover and note the publishers and assistants, the printers and cover designers? How many CDs do you own of which you've read the credits to find out the sound engineers or third violin in track 3? Credits are there to acknowledge the makers of those things by the games company and to anyone who is interested. It is not a compulsory part of the media and I shouldn't have to pay money for the game to have that choice forced upon me.psypherus said:
Is it really that bad? You can't just read a book till it's done or surf the net? You can't go make something to eat or change the channel and watch TV? You cant find ANYTHING else to do while the credits roll? Because if you can't you're a fucking retard.
BTW, those people who made the game you played (and ejoyed) worked damned hard on it, so I don't think it's too much to ask to give them the spotlight for 5 minutes of your life.

Personally, I like to see everything a game has to offer. Just like when I first buy a game, I'll sit through the title screen loop to see what it has to offer, and I run around exploring EVERYWHERE in a free-roam world to see what it has to offer, I'll sit though the credits to see what they have to offer. If the credits are visually unappealing, the music is usually okay and I'll do something else while watching the credits (I always have my computer on).
I'm generally patient (everywhere in life) because good things usually come to those who wait (or rather, don't rush it). I think that's best summed up in The Getaway's thing where in order to heal you have to wait against a wall - you wait, you heal, it's good (though I really hate Yasmin yelling my ear off over it).

People are really becoming more and more impatient these days. There's nothing wrong with a credit roll at the end of the game.
In fact, this thread makes me wish they'd put them in the beginning of the game like they used to do more often with older movies. So you'd have to watch them BEFORE you start playing the game.
Nobody is forcing you to watch the credits. There are buttons on your television, there's probably a computer with a working internet connection (otherwise this thread wouldn't have existed) in the room, maybe you have some books laying around the room. If you don't like the credits, go do something else?
What's next? People making threads complaining you shouldn't spend such a long time on downloading extra content because you're paying good money for it?

Why am I obligated to sit through a 20+ minute long dull-as-kidney-pie crawl of white text on a black backround after playing through the game? Surely buying the game and giving the developers the money to put some food in their mouth is enough? No? Well screw you then, I'll just go and eat a muffin while the dull-as-kidney-pie credits roll... Oh? You have a fun little mini game/concept art/gag reel? Oh well screw the muffin then! Let's watch us some credits!
In the same regards you should be forced to sit through the credits for everything every time you use them. The people who made the products you buy to brush your teeth, your food every time you eat, your clothes every time you put them on, your bed every time you go to sleep. Then lets see what you think about credits. FORCING people to do things they have no interest in, especially every single time they beat the game, RUINS the experience. Would you enjoy being kicked in the shins whenever you sat down to eat a piece of delicious cake? No you say? Then why make people do something they don't want to do. They'd more likely stop playing the game if they knew they HAD to sit through the credits.psypherus said:
