@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Didn’t know about the Pirates and Underworld post credits scenes. I figured there were other movies out there that did it before, I just didn’t know which.
As far as games, I do think most games seem to make them skippable. But yeah, I also usually divert my attention away if I have to wait through them - like checking Push Square on my phone or going to the WC. 😛

I do remember sitting in awe a few times letting things sink in while credits roll for the games which really have an emotionally impactful ending, like @Kidfried mentioned.

Wasn't as common back then of course @Th3solution but a number of films did it over the years... But as you say Marvel brought them back and then some and did the mid credit scenes too...

Speaking of Spider-Man, forgot to ask but did you like the Stan Lee (R.I.P) cameo in the game? I thought that was a nice touch too

i do watch the credits most of the times just because i don't want to miss secret scenes.

"game babies" have been a growing trend. lot's of games have them these days and not just exclusives.

i don't mind post credits scenes tbh. altough some games that have them still allow you to skip the credits but still show you the scene,which is great.

i suspect that death stranding will have one.
maybe even TLOU 2 which would be a first for naughty dog games.

I'll watch end credits to a point. Like last night I finished the story of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it had some cool concept art from all three games. When that stopped and it was just a list of names, I skipped the credits and was taken to the post credit scene. If I've missed a post credits scene I'll just watch it on you tube. The babies thing is quite common I think, I have no problem with it really but I don't really pay much attention to it either.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Oh yeah, the Stan Lee cameo was a nice touch. Probably that’s the last we’ll see of him. He might show up in the Avengers game, but I think enough time has passed since he’s died that I doubt it, but I could be wrong.

I do remember reading at one point they had started filiming his film cameos in advance because he was getting a bit too sickly to keep coming in @Th3solution .

It's possible he could be in the game, especially with how long it's supposedly been in development... We'll just have to wait and see

@jdv95 I love the way it opened with the P and S coming onto the screen but it cut out to black before showing a montage of past PlayStation years

Highlights for me tho were Mark Cerny looking like a sleep deprived serial killer while holding the DualShock 4 and Shinji Hashimoto from Square Enix looking like he had no idea how he got on stage

... Y'know... I don't think I've ever actually watched a console reveal. Any of them. Caught a clip or two but that's it.

And from E3 I usually only bother getting the details of games like a week or so afterwards... 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I'm pretty much the same, I find the conferences such a bore and the crowd whooping irritating. I usually just watch a round up or something on you tube, usually on the next day.

@Kidfried Yeah the live chat on Push Square is good fun, I still rather be playing games though lol.

I've only seen a couple E3s in full in my lifetime, and that's probably enough for me lol. I know I watched last year's E3 with the live chat, but I couldn't type anything for whatever reason.

I feel like everytime a major conference comes around, I keep telling myself "It's cool to watch, it's gonna be awesome seeing this live, you'll feel like you're in the know." But then by halfway I'm put to sleep by the fluff in between the games.

@jdv95 I do this a lot in the lead up to E3. I'll watch past conferences with the Giant Bomb dudes talking over them. Always good fun that passes the time.

@Kidfried Yes, I agree. Gaming is one of the few safe havens I have from the world. Music is another, like you say.
I try to avoid the cynical environment of politics and the despair and contention that it often breeds. The unpredictability of news media and sports, always a disappointment around the corner. Yet, when I want to scream at the TV when the world ultimately disappoints me, I can pop in a game and enter another world. Typically I can shape or conquer that world as a hero, and become the participant of a story of victory over something bad. I feel empowered. I feel relieved by the escape. For a few hours, the world and it’s problems don’t exist.

@Kidfried With what is currently going on in the UK as well as all the horrific things throughout the world, gaming is certainly a nice bit of escapism. The news is so negative and despairing it actually does my head in.

@Kidfried Was the person a middle-aged woman with bifocals, a large purse, her wallpaper on her phone being pictures of her cat, and wearing conservative business attire on her way to work as a receptionist? That’s what I’m envisioning. The grandmas of the world feeding the mobile microtransaction epidemic. And of course 14 years old boys with their parents credit card playing Fortnite. 😜

@Kidfried Was there a small whaling fleet following him?

I was surprised to find someone I work with had dropped some actual coin on a Star Trek mobile game. Not massive amounts but still quite shocked.
