"The Credits are Rolling...."

...what do you do when you see the credits rolling at the end of a game?

When I complete any game I sense a feeling of satisfaction and sit there feeling smug, then the credits appear on the screen... long... boring... names.

Well in the era of my NES I would just turn it off and wonder what game I was going to play next, how long that game was or if I thought it was any good.

When I had my SNES I had a bit more fun with the credits, I counted how many time the word 'yoshi' appeared within the names at the end of the game, I remember siting there after Yoshi's Island and counting more than 20 names with the word 'yoshi' in them.

Well then, what is the point of this topic?

Well, now after working along side the people that are in the credits I realised that all that playing was down to them, all that fun and enjoyment was down to the people at the end of the game who 90%+ of gamers would just shut off and then go and get something to eat, feeling pleased that they completed a game, but maybe if they thought about it they should read the credits and think about some of the jobs that those people do, none of the jobs are easy, and these people deserve more credit then a split second on your screen.

How do you read them, if you do at all?

Thanks

MUAH HA HA HA HA

I read the credits

a) Incase their's anything intesting in them

and

b) So I know who to look out for in future. It's astounding what goes into a game these days.

I read the credits on good games, because these guy are the genius behind the game you just played!! I think I appreciate that a little more because I want to go into the industry though!!

unlegible=illegible, sorry

I generally skip all the credits, unless I think there may be a bonus cutscene at the end if oyu watch them all. After all all it is is a list of normally unlegible or unpronouncable names which mean nothing to me. I dont feel guilty for not showing the programmers my respect because, lets face it, they're not after my love and respect, they're after my money. If it was a good game, they're welcome to it, but beyond that I don't care

Oh, and remember, it beat your OI MR GATES topic as well

:-P
