5 Action Games Right Now You Should Play With Subtitles On

Have you ever rented a movie, inserted it in your DVD player, moved your body gracefully, only press the play button, and it played in subtitles? Some video games those experiencing cinephilia and telephilia the same feeling. At least with games, if you are exhausted of reading, you can skim pass the paragraphs, possibly missing clues to find for your next mission. 

Get ready to strain your eyes, staring at texts that are too small to read. If you own a microscope or an 85-inch television screen, worry not. As soon as the subtitles pop up on the screen, do you feel an overwhelming amount of laziness, with a responsibility to read? How about the awkward feeling when you read the subtitles and every word does not line up with the actual dialogue?

Sure, some of us can read lips, but can you read animated lips? It can get worse if the character’s voice goes out of sync and if that happens, maybe your device needs rest. I doubt the game developers would be workhorses just for the game characters to have minor difficulties in dialogue. Distractions by texts on the screen never seemed more irresistible, but if you are deaf or hard of hearing or have cognitive disabilities, feel free to tell us if you got used to subtitles.
