Gaming

I need them for pretty much all movies/tv and games. Especially the ones where I don't want to miss anything lol.

I'm more curious about those who don't use them. Do you guys miss dialog? If so, do you just continue on anyways?

Can't say I'm surprised. My partner both do this for movies and games, because we either can't hear the dialogue or freak out our dogs with the sound effects

I prefer subs even when playing video games and watching movies/TV in my native language. However, I think part of why gamers prefer it is movies are at least scripted to the point where it's unlikely that a loud noise will go off in the middle of an actor's line. In a video game, there could be dynamic sound effects at any time right in the middle of a line.

I find that if subtitles are on, I'm distracted reading them and not focusing enough on the game.

For this reason I'm often turning them off. I can read very quickly, but I'm easily distracted by the tiniest things.

i turn them on because theres's often times someone distracting me, or noise or whatever else

and sometimes i just cant hear whatever is being said

I'm not from an English speaking country, and even though most games come dubbed to my language nowadays, I still prefer non-dubbed content, and subtitles help a lot.

I have them turned on since I am not a native english speaker and want to understand everything correctly.

I always use them whether playing a game or watching a film; definitely if I'm watching a documentary.

I used to practice my foreign languages by having the dub vs sub be different languages, worked well enough imo.
