avatarmight 05/25/17 8:52:22 PM #9:	Hyper Light Drifter's credits are normal for the developers, then when you get to the kickstarter backers section it gives you control over going up or down and how fast it goes. On the other end of the spectrum, I've also experienced a couple of games that took forever for the credits to end and I started to wonder if it was looping. Crysis was one of them. --- "I mean, even the buffest gym bro can't work out his eyeballs, right?

What's worse, like the movie after credits scenes, they sometimes force you to sit through the credits in order to get an after game save file for various reasons.
