    Viewing credits is disrespectful? But sitting through them to get to a hint at another movie isn't? Pretty much nobody pays attention to the credits. It's not really practical to, they're too long

    And honestly, the argument about patience is kinda weird in this topic. It's more patient to wait 20 minutes because you need a teaser of another movie as soon as possible?[DOUBLEPOST=1402593993][/DOUBLEPOST]
    It's not. It's completely unrelated

    I love staying in the theater to watch the credits while everyone else leaves. It makes me feel like I'm better than them. When I went to see Frozen I even told a little girl that wanted to leave because the credits were rolling that sometimes there's an extra part of the movie after the credits and if she leaves, she'll miss it.
    That's just Ubisoft, though. For some reason Ubisoft feels the need to credit every single person in every single part of every single studio that develops for them even if they had nothing to do with it. Hell, sometimes even that's not enough. In Assassin's Creed Revelations there were credits for Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of Patriots, a game that, without exaggeration, has absolutely nothing to do with them.

    Either I'm a really fast reader or you're a very slow reader.

    Most movie credits don't run much longer than five minutes.
    You're being exactly as dense as I was in the thread where I led you to believe that you had changed my mind about Let's Plays.

    Because the movie won't come out for months and I probably won't bee able to see it unless it for a special occasion. And I have literally nothing to do with my life until like six days. I like to pass the time.

    It's not hard to read the names (except for some credits that go so fast they might as well have motion blur) but what's there to gain from reading those hundreds of random names?
    If I want to know who made something I'll google it, it's not like reading all the names will even make you remember them. Tell me who the supervising animator from a movie you just saw. Who provided the vocals for that one song? Tell me all about the interns
    what I'm getting at is people acting like one of these options is lazy or something. You want a teaser for a movie because you can't wait for it? That's just as impatient as not wanting to wait through 20 minutes of credits just to find out about a movie you'll see months later anyways

    That, and they stuff way too many teams on a single game.

    And the Metal Gear Solid thing I believe is because you can get an Altair costume in MGS4...dunno why it's in the different game's credits?[/QUOTE]

    Well, personally I'm happy I stayed to watch the 30 second trailer of X-Men because I still didn't freakin get to see it (!!!) but whatever. But I guess some people aren't as enthusiastic about movies as other people are so I think that plays a part in it.... maybe.

    you're missing the entire point here
    it's not about seeing a teaser because it's somehow equivalent to seeing a scene from the movie, it's about seeing something cool. a trivial, yet awesome, experience.

    and don't pull that "well i'll just look it up online" as if that's the same thing bullshit. seeing a camera-phone recording on youtube is hardly comparable to seeing it in person on the big screen
    but hey your loss, not mine. if you would rather see something on youtube than in the theater when you had the opportunity, that's your bad decision to make.

    and as expensive as movie tickets are these days, why would you willingly not milk that $10.00 for all it's worth? there's no sensible reason.

    You must have misread my post. Refusing to watch the credits because you think they are a waste of your time is disrespectful.

    That little scene will not be in the next movie (one or two exceptions not withstanding). It was designed as an Easter Egg special clip that was only to be seen by the people who had the patience to sit through the credits. I do not want to see it as soon as possible. I believe that watching it as a direct follow up to the film itself is an intended piece of the movie watching experience. Watching it on its own, on my own time, will detract from that experience as well as be disrespectful to the people who made the film.

    Get it now?
