A lot of the issues I listed have been addressed in a lot of games that are released these days, so I'm really grateful for that. Luckily, the standard has been improved these days. Ok then, what about for the people that require subtitles because they have a hard time listening, or are deaf? Should they just go screw themselves when there are barely any quality control for the subtitles for so many years? I have had problems in listening comprehension for years now, I guess I'll go screw myself. Some may say that they don't care about subtitles/captions at all, and the subtitles being poorly implemented, or not implemented, doesn't affect them at all. So the main drive for me to even play the game is gone, all of this because of no subtitles. For me personally, I had no idea what was even going on in the story and had to resort to reading the wiki. Ok, that's pretty bad by itself, but what makes it worse is that the general consensus is that AC1 has the most interesting story in the series, and it also has one of the most bland and repetitive gameplay loop in the series, so the game has to rely on its story to keep you hooked.īut almost all of the time the dialogs are drowned out by the music, background noise, and a lot of the voice acting, while good, is pretty monotone. The worst example I can think of is Assassin's Creed 1. What's even worse is Borderlands 2 tend to deliver a lot of the story during heavy gunfights, so you have to focus on the visual overload, and the small subtitles overload. In a game that is usually filled with visual overload, you may have to squint to read the subtitles. You can't adjust the size of the subtitles, and sometimes the subtitles can go up to 3 or 4 rows. Oh, you enjoyed having subtitles in Halo CE? Fuck you, no subtitles during Halo 2's gameplay, and no subtitles, at all, in Halo 3.Īnother example, Borderlands 2. 343 Industries, in their infinite wisdom, has an option for subtitles in the settings, and yet whether or not each game in Halo MCC actually has subtitles for the entire game is a dice roll. So while the story is being told, you're busy having your ears drowned out by the gunfights. It has a subtitle option, and you can see it in cutscenes, and yet there's no subtitles in game. I've seen so many games fuck this up, and sometimes even when they're re-released years later, they still fuck it up.įor example, Halo 2 Anniversary on PC. The subtitles last up to 3 or 4 rows, creating information overload. Gives no indication of who is speaking, for example, "Anna: The place is quiet." compared to "The place is quiet." Has no background opacity, making it harder to distinguish it from the background. Prioritize "stylish" fonts, over readable fonts, making it impossible to read the subtitles. Has a very thin black outline, making it barely distinguishable from the gameplay background.Ĭan't be adjusted, sizewise, forcing you to squint your eyes to read.
