For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.

Since I started playing (and watching stuff) with subtitles, I realised just how much I’ve missed from poor sound mixing.

As a non-native English speaker it's quite reassuring that native speakers (I assume?) don't understand everything either.

Just curious, do you have the same issue with your native tongue?

Rarely, if ever. But if I watch something local it is usually news, game shows or something like that, not big screen productions that usually suffer from this "loud sound, silent speech" annoyance.

Unless it's some rural dialect. Then all bets are off. But then I have the same problem with many English dialects.
