Should we have a credit shooting minigame?

We don't need to be wasting time on stuff like that!

Shootable Credits

Post by Falco Girgis »

How many of you have played/beaten Super Smash Brothers? (maybe melee does this too).

But anyway, at the end, you have a little croshair and you get to shoot the credits. Should we do something like that with the dreamcast game?

Yeah... I have a headache.
This is a joke about unfunny jokes. And bad use of irony.

Ummm...
it depends on what kind of game it is, is it the 4 player game with sonic you showed me one day?
If it is than no you should, mixing super smash brothers with SONIC.

Then if it isn't than yes you should, for people donnot look at credits, because it is boring. Making that minigame would make them read the credits.

I think we should not have the cred game. Main reason: the game isn't 3D, there is no challenge in shooting creds that just move down the screen WITHOUT making the creds unreadable.

What you could do is use a different way of showing the credits, something that would keep the user's attention.

I think that our credits are flashy enough. That was one main thing. I've never even given thought to readin those white text things that move down the screen. But our credits have pictures, and even funny quotes.

And god dammit JS Lemming, I need your credit image!!!!!!!
Go to the credit topic in the DC forum for more details.
