If it was dubbed I'd probably have beaten it by now because I could turn it on audio when the dialogue starts happening, do some stuff, and then check the backlog for any non audio clips.
When it comes to character portraits and textboxes in video games:
If the audio is Japanese, I'll usually just turn it off and read. As I've said before, I kinda tune it out anyway and I'd rather just imagine voices in my head like you would most books. (Or like you would in older games)
If the audio is English, I'll keep it on if it's full audio, clicking through dialogue I'm not especially interested in but listen to lines that might be compelling or important. For something like Fire Emblem Awakening, the constant generic quips "Oh.....Yes milord.......indeed.........Quite.......Let's go..." I'll turn off.
For anything with animation, either audio is fine.

I don't normally comment on how good a Japanese audio track is because I barely understand any of it but for whatever reason I really enjoy the voices in Steins;Gate. Normally I'd just skip ahead and read everything, and I still do that at times while playing it, but so far have spent most of 20 hours just listening.

I never really point out Japanese voice acting as good unless it is above and beyond what I expected or straight up spectacular - Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is a good example of that. Not to come off as a condescending weeb but its pretty much always good barring weird circumstances and the seiyuu industry is better in a lot of ways, but being an entertainment industry its still kinda shitty. You have video game voice actors going on strike because the pay is shit and they are treated poorly (I am sure this happens in Japan too at times) but there are tons of straight up schools for seiyuu in Japan because its far more respected and seiyuu get paid TONS of money. Like actual actor salaries and the breakthrough rate is similair to Hollywood actors - very, very small. If you want to get sad quick, look how much money a big name seiyuu like Kana Hanazawa gets paid compared to an animator or director on an anime project.
I'm not really sure why that is, because its not like theres no tradition for film, theatre, animation or games in America. All my knowledge just comes from various articles I've read (and Shirobako)

Most of the VA pool in America are off Broadway tier actors, a decent amount with formal education in theater. The training and experience is there.
I do this in most games that don't have fully animated dialogue
the plots the same if I hear someone speak or not
What?
movies, games, etc
i have troubles making out what people say
ive even had my hearing checked twice in the last 5 years, and apparently its fine. but when it comes to listening i have difficulties.
Huh?
To be serious for a moment. No ringing or anything? So you're listening to people and it comes through a bit fuzzy? Like they are mumbling?
O-oh
At first I thought that was a parody post, "I have trouble listening to others because I'm better!", not literal.
Sorry to hear :/
I keep subtitles on for ease of use, why risk missing dialogue when so much is said in a scene sometimes, and it occasionally is badly balanced?
thats why i hardly post during shows
God Man?
Yeah, I like having subtitles in games & on TV because I'm more of a visual person & can read if I misheard something or didn't catch what they said.
....or something is being louder than the TV.

Depends on the show. I can play Hearthstone or do mindless daily shit in WoW while watching certain shows like Dagashi Kashi or Love Live but NOT with Erased.
Pick me, I guarantee critical hits and enemy misses!

Oh yeah I've become a podcast gamer. I'll play through bad games like Watch_Dogs if I have a podcast on. I only beat that game because I had like 30 hours of Giant Bomb GOTY to listen to.
I wish more people played Hex so I could play it more oftenThat's a great podcast game, although I havent found a new podcast that really spoke too me.
I got through the first 5 books of the Wheel of time series while I truck drove. That was pretty swell I guess
I spend a few months every other year or so relistening to all of them, even though around book 8 or so I get pretty burnt out.
The guy who does those audiobooks also does the Mistborn audio books if your interested. My friend really digs both series.
Ill get back to Wheel of Time eventually, I just have to come to grips with the fact that perrin will never be featured again and his story bits have been replaced by nyneave who is my least favorite character :|
...There's too much I could say, so I won't say anything.
Whoa.
Nah, Mon Gad is Man God's alternate timeline counterpart. She's a tsundere in that universe.

And I thought 15 a day way high
tbh toonami does it all.
Toonami=2 every 3 min probably for 2hr a week, which alone accounts for ~11 posts a day for me

I'm averaging about 25 posts per day. Of course, I'm sure ToonamiGAF plays a big role during the blog.And I thought 15 a day way high

I like how near the end I become a Phantasy Star/.hack Spell name.
God damn it, now I'm hearing Mona Marshall yell out Gan Don.
Also, make a new game CC2! Or remaster the old ones. Hopefully the latest Naruto game covering up to the end means they can stay off that for a while........ wishful thinking I know
