do you guys play with subtitles enabled if it is an option?

I always turn subtitles on if I can in case I can skip dialogue if it is boring. I don't turn on subtitles when watching movies or tv though.

always on.

makes following the dialog easier. There's often some loud noises / music playing in the background when people are talking, or they can be talking in some bizarre dialect.

I still remember how DMC(1) had subs for the monsters, that spoke louder and clearer than Dante, who did NOT have subtitles when he spoke, and I didn't have any idea what he was saying.

I tend to find myself reading past the dialogue, making me skip the audio. Which I don't like, I also tend to give my focus to the words onscreen like a retard and lose focus ingame.

I understand that. I think having subtitles is really a detriment when you are playing a comedic game, because timing is everything.

This, especially a lot of games nowadays have shitty equalising when it comes to dialogue, background noise and music. I have a knack of being able to focus on sounds, but dialogue can be damn hard to focus on when blasting away at enemies.

Always on and im english speaking.

Sometimes they say things or areas that you wouldnt ever know in real life, and being able to see them spelled out and shit just keeps them in my head longer.

No subtitles if im trying to be immersed, so usually a horror game or any game ive played already.

Normal FPS games and shit, like Half Life, I wont have them on either.

Well, then, it's up to the subtitle guy(s) to make sure they're at an appropriate length and timing.

I turn them on in games and movies too, because english isn't my native language, and a lot of times background noises or accents make it hard to make out what people are saying.

Always on. I like to skip certain dialogues in games like The Witcher or Fallout.

I've never skipped dialogue in The Witcher 3 on my first playthrough, but now that I'm on NG+ I tend to just read the text and skip the voice acting.

I usually use subs, because some devs seem to like to suddenly go full retard with music/sounds while people are talking.

This.
Subtitles also help pick up on what a character is saying if they have an accent.

I get annoyed when the game decides that sound effects or music take priority over dialog.

Poor hearing, so always on.
Thankfully I can read quickly, not like my parents or some of my friends who can't stand subtitles since "it's too fast" or "if I read I can't follow the show/movie"...

MGSV's subtitles drove me up the fucking wall.

It prioritises codec calls instead of enemy chatter, who either don't speak english or just talk in text. So you can easily miss vital information because Kaz won't shut up.

Holy shit is it annoying.

Always subtitles on. English is not my native language. Plus even if it was you can not hear something thanks to loud explosions, music or some shit.
