i think it just makes soo much more sense to me to use invert, i mean this is how planes are controlled in real life if u think about it. it used to really annoy me when swapping controller with 1 of my mates who was a normal y axis person and we used to keep having to pause the game and change it. if ur in a FPS and u have the wrong controls, u are likely to die lol

Normal, just feels easier, although for Ratchet and Clank UYA online I used to use invert which also worked out very well, but now I just play normal.

I use invert on everything. I just can't play any other way. I have no idea why though so I must do research on this. It might make an interesting report.

INVERT.

I don't understand how people can play pushing up to go up and down to go down.

I mean, if you were flying a jet plane, and you tried to climb by pushing the stick forward, you're dead.

Up is up, and down is down, in flying games I use the invert since thats how its actually done. But In real life, If I look up, I look up, not down.

Technically I can use either, but I much prefer normal.

Unless were talking Ace Combat or something. Then I prefer invert obviously.

I use inverted, I find its logical IMO. If you stick a analog stick in the back of your head your going to push it down to look up. But when i play FPS games on the PC i use normal, just works better for me on a mouse.

Inverting Y axis was relavent during the days of Golden Eye and Perfect Dark. Not anymore. With dual analog sticks, it just makes more sense to leave it on a normal pitch.

With that logic though... pushing right on the stick would make the view look left. : /

Sense has nothing to do with it buddy, it's a matter of preference or habit.

I only invert if I'm controlling a plane. Otherwise, I use the normal axis.

invert... specially with a mouse on fps... and like some people explained... if you consider you're controling your character's body, when you pull back, your head falls back and you look up...

exactly the opposite if you push the mouse up... you unbalance the body to the front and you end up looking down. but like someone said... it's not about logic... it's about habbit and prefference. it's like saying people who write with the left hand are wrong or something...

I invert the Y axis for everything, even camera control. Probably cause I used to play a lot of flight sims for PC back in the day.
