Please can someone explain why some games have only sections with subtitles? I'm playing Culpa Innata and some speech has subtitles and some does not. Can anyone explain? I'm not deaf but I would be cross if I was
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

Really? I didn't know that? I thought that if a game has subtitles it has for everything...

Movies do not have subtitles for everything either if you are watching a foreign film. There are other games that do not have subtitles at all. Ana

Well said Becky. My partner is getting very deaf so it's " no subtitles = no watch" He plays Civilisation which does not need subtitles.

Ditto, Dragon, I like the subtitles just in case I miss hearing what they say. I am very visual and I just don't pay as much attention to hearing as I do seeing the words. Only problem is that I am looking at words when something happens that I need or want to see! Koalanut

Hi I'm a big "sub-title" fan too In fact I'd rather have text and no speech than the other way round Cheers. Mad

I have moderate hearing loss. It can be difficult in some games to catch everything being said over music and heavy ambient sound effects (I tend to turn those way down in options when I can if they are not crucial to game play). Sometimes the character's voice/accent can be a little annoying, distracting or make it difficult to discern exactly what is being said as well. So needless to say I am huge fan of subtitles!! I wish every game had them. Most modern ones have that option, but older ones don't.
I recently ventured back into the world of the original Myst. A great deal of that game is so dependent on hearing precisely the correct sounds and tones. It made me think that might be unfair for those who are deaf or have severe hearing disabilities.

I like the game having subtitles for everything (cut scenes, original story etc). I think that without subtitles the game is nude!

I also prefer subtitles in games and movies even though my hearing is fine. Alot of this has to do with the fact that I have dogs and at times their barking causes me to miss important conversations in games as well as in movies,

Yep, another Huge Fan of subtitles here too. I always have them on in games and in movies. I can hear one on one conversations just fine but add in the background music and ambient sounds (which I love) and a lot of the conversation can be lost to me. I also really love it when the options include being able to adjust speech volume separately from the other sound.

I vote for subtitles for everything in adventures. i remember too many years ago in gK-2. Gabe had some sort of Texan accent i think or whatever He drawled something that had important to the gameplay but i couldn't make it out.i replayed that part 12 times but still couldn't understand it.
