Yeah, I always expect something to be either in the credits or at the end of the credits.
For example: In the Borderlands credits they're thanking people the two that I luaghed at where "Thanks to my parents for making me" and "Your mom."

Unless there's a cinematic or I like the music, I don't really bother. I remember playing the last fight in Final Fantasy 3(6) JUST for the music, from boss battle to credit roll.
If I liked the movie or it was any good, I like to sit through the credits. I don't really care about reading them, or "giving due credit" to the people who made it, because it's not like I know any of those people anyway. It is not relevant information to me to know that Scott McSteverson was the head gaffer. I'm never going to need to know that, and I will never meet Scott McSteverson to tell him how great a job he did.
But what I DO stay for the credits is the winding down, digesting all the events of the movie, and discussing it with my friends (and bonus at the end if there is one). If it is a well done movie, the music of the credits and perhapse even the visuals of the credits are going to make a good atmosphere and ambiance for just sitting and thinking about the movie you just watched (and discussing your thoughts with friends). There have been times where at the end of a movie I was just thinking, "that was so awesome, I think I need a minute to just let it all soak in."

Movies and TV shows no but video games yeah.
Mainly because there is random extra stuff (for example just finished Splinter Cell: Conviction and there is a little conversation between Fisher and his BFF) but also it makes you appreciate how many damn people it takes to make one game.

Most of the stuff i see in the cinema is utter shit nowadays, and i do not wish to even take notice of who made it, E.g space chimps 2, no need for an explanation.
oh I thought it was only movie credits cause for that only the bonus stuff at the end if any for video games yeah I sit through them if the music is awesome, they have a cinematic for it, and/or there's a bonus thing at the end
wait...WHAT? they're making another one now why are they making sequals for movies that were easily forgottenCaptainAverage said:
I would say it's only fair to the people that made it, but I don't really read them anyway except for a few of the key people involved and the special thanks at the end. I mainly sit through them for the bonus stuff. And every time I meet a poor fool who thought Master Chief died at the end of Halo 3, I remember why.
I always sit through the credits during games. I always think to myself "There might be bonus stuff at the end!" Like in Halo 3 or COD4. So as not to miss anything, I always sit through to the end.
Only for extra stuff. A recent example would be:
When people find Thor's hammer after the credits of Iron man 2
Usually only if I suspect there will be bonus stuff at the end or if something is going on during the credits that's more entertaining than just text sliding up a screen. That being said, I invariably find myself having to pee while waiting for the aforementioned bonus material.
Money i think, dreamworks have made some pretty shitty films recently, shrek 4 etc...Golem239 said:
For movies I'll sit through the credits in recognition of a great movie and production. If the movie is shit, then I'll leave. For games, though, I always sit through the credits. So many more people are involved in the making of the game that I want to see as many as possible, even though I know they'll never know or care.
