Seeing those sweet, sweet credits roll.

That is certainly a hot take. I would never think of the credits as the sweetest moment, unless I did not like the game. I was glad for the Horizon Fobidden West credits. But usually I am sad it is over.



For me, I'd say the ending of "The Last of Us 2", that conversation is really moving and incredibly well acted. In addition, within the space of 2-3 minutes, it manages to encompass and signify the entire theme and mood of the game itself. Brilliant scene.

My GF is the same way. She doesn't want to see her shows, games and books end. Sometimes, because of this, she even intentionally doesn't finish them haha.

But for me, I view beating a game as an accomplishment. Same with finishing a book. You stood before the mountain, you accepted the challenge and you conquered it, that sort of thing. So in that context, the credits are basically the money shot; the proof you've succeeded.

Most recently FFXVI.. scene with Clive and Jill (big spoilers ahead!)

Before the final suicide mission when Clive confesses his love to Jill in a final goodbye

There are exceptions, like the ones from MadWorld, which are funny AF:



Gotta say FFXVI is filled with some heartwarming moments.

Spoiler!
The one where Clive reunites with Uncle Byron after years of Byron believing Clive was dead was so sweet. Got a few tears out of me.
