"Game Credits..."

When I had my NES I used to finish games daily, when they were complete the credits started to roll down the screen, I got bored and turned off the console.

In the days of my SNES I would sit through the credits and count how many 'yoshi' words were in the names of the people in the credits, I think Yoshi's Island one on that count by about a lot.

Now in the days of all the consoles when I finish a game I sit and read each credit, I know how much work has gone into making that game and whether it be a good or bad game I still read the credits.

(so then get to the point)

I reckon most people just turn off the console and praise themselve for completing the game. They see the credits as the most boring part, infact companies now put images up with the credits, or in the case of Smash Bros put the gamer in control of the credits.
The sad truth is that none of you read the credits and think about how this game was made, because I can tell you now that each person on that list has spent hours of his/her life to get that game up to the standard of you being able to complete it in the first place.

Next time you have completed a game, read the credits and think of which job you would like to have out of all those people, to praise yourselve, praise the people on the credits.

Thanks

yes
(what was it)
I am going to be on the 'Soul Reaver 2' credits.

If something happens at the end of the credits, like another cut scene or the opening of a secret bonus level/track then people will be more likely to read the credits.

I read all through the BK and Conker credits.
Conker because there is a Cut-Scene at the end which poses the question -"Will there be a sequel?"

Same games even let you interact with the credits...like No Mercy.

I think one day you will be able to highlight the credit you want and then read up on that person, about how they got where they are and what they contributed to the game.

Credits are quite boring though, except the ones like on Mario 64 where you can remeniss the times you spent on the levels....ah....Mario 64, Think i'll play it actually.

The Game

i for one certainly dont read the credits,most of the names i dont understand,the most recent game i copmpleted was finalfantasy 9 and all the names are in japese because the game was developed in japan,so the credits are boring,i just sit through them,and wait for those special words
