Throughout my gaming journey, I've encountered numerous instances where subtitles, an essential feature for understanding game narratives, have been poorly
For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.
Apparently I’m in the minority here.
Subtitles drive me insane, and I always turn them off. My eyes always get drawn to the subtitles so I miss what’s happening onscreen. I also read faster than the dialog is spoken, but my brain gets interrupted by the spoken dialog while it’s processing what I just read, so I get the same information twice but struggle to retain the actual meaning. I have no idea how anyone can tolerate subtitles unless they actually need them.
