I almost need to have them, which is weird because I hate them in movies. But when I'm watching a video game cutscene, if I don't have them, I'll miss important points. I don't have this problem as much with movies.
I use them in games if there aren't by default moments where you have to read the dialogue as text, otherwise I don't. And I only ever use them in games.
For instance in Devil May Cry games you don't have dialogue moments that aren't voiced.
But in FFX a lot of the dialogue, particularly from NPCs, isn't voiced.
So yeah I'll use the subtitles in FFX but not DMC.

Yeah, I'm still not confident enough with my English to turn them off, which is kinda stupid since I understand 100% of English tv shows and they usually speak faster in those.

Only random NPC townspeople dialogue doesn't get voiced in FFX actually, which isn't that much dialogue. FFX-2 and FFXII have a lot more unvoiced dialogue.

Usually I do, to make sure I catch everything being said. I find a lot of games have at least some amount of garbled dialogue, or drawn out scenes that I tend to zone out during, or get impatient with.

I have pretty poor speech cognition, so I wish subtitles were always available for movies, and I always turn them on in video games even if the dialogue is usually clearer.
