Subtitles in video games: yes or no? Do players use them?
gearsrealm.com
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.

    I honestly am a huge Nolan fan but could not agree more with his audio lately. I was really frustrated in the theater during Dunkirk trying to figure out what the heck Tom Hardy was saying. Tenet, at times, was also pretty bad. I still really liked both movies, but they would have been better experiences if I could have not dedicated so many resources to hear a word in a garbled mess of voice.

      Nolan movies are meant to be loud. Obnoxiously loud. I saw Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX and it was punishingly loud, and amazing.

      Basically, Nolan movies can’t be watched in any shared or multi-unit living situations. You need to crank them to “this is going to piss off the neighbours” volume. But that’s specific to the types of movies he makes, which are experiences more than narratives.

        As was said three comments ago, “something something immersion artsy bullshit”. In my opinion this stuff isn’t a good excuse for making a film that can’t be watched.
