I'm the only one I know who uses inverted view in FPS and cameras in all games, talking about the Y axis or vertical movement of course. What about you?

Normal for most things. I use inverted when it comes to air piloting, you know like flying a plane or heli.

inverted for the majority of flight games and some 3rd person action games, normal for the rest. If it's on PC, always normal.

I don't think of it like that. I think of the thumb sticks as a person's head on their neck. Tilt it down to look down, tilt it up to look up.

Normal for the most part, it does hang a little to the right though.

You lack 3-dimensional thinking :lol:

I personally always choose Inverted. It's like a pilot controlling a plane, you press down to Pull Up, and press up to Decend Down.

I play a lot of flight sims. So, pushing the stick forward means going down while pushing the stick back means going up. It's the same with the controller which means inverted for me.

inverted is the only normal way to play. when you play an fps you're controlling someone's head. when you look up you dont move your neck forward, you move it back. just like on a controller

I play on normal whenever I am not flying. Normal doesn't make sense to me if I'm a pilot and I have the worst time flying without inverted controls set.

*edit* I also think that if all games had the option to invert controls, I would. But since it isn't standard option back in the day, I got use to normal controls.

Makes no sense you say... well, probably because the ones who support your line of thought must feel insecure and stay BEHIND while those who support my pic have no confidence issues and are able to FACE the truth.

inverted for consoles

i doubt it really matters what you use

it's like if you use super low sens or high sens with accel

you can get used to either one and adjust if need be

And your pic, especially the bottom one, completely justifies how much of a stupidass you are.

when you look up you dont tilt your head forward, you tilt it back. when you control a camera in a game you're controlling someone's head.

Like I said, you LACK 3D thinking.

And your pic, especially the bottom one, completely justifies how much of a stupidass you are.

And there was a reason I didn't even bother with your logic... you sum up your defense to flying controls, and while I agree inverted is best for planes, this is FPS, so you my friend have no real point to say here.

As for my pic, in case you didn't notice is just the pic slash posted but inverted, so you're basically bashing his defense on inverted controls... so thanx for making things easy for me and saved me the trouble of calling you stupid by doint it your self.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm expecting replies from more intelligent users like mems (or at least more than you).

I bet you just use the inverted option for vertical controls but use normal for horizontal, and that my friend is where you logic goes to the crapper where it belongs.

You control the VIEW, not the HEAD.

Analog sticks are on a pivot, like a camera on a tripod or your head. Mouse controls make more sense being 1:1 because it lacks a pivot.

Inverted on controllers, normal on mouse. Not sure why that is, but I'm going to go ahead and guess it's due to the hours I logged playing Ace Combat for PSOne back in the day.

Normal on everything but flying.

Don't know why, but inverted always just seems to mesh well with aviation.

Loved going inverted in Warhawk.

i have absolutely no idea how anyone can play inverted... it boggles my mind to do the opposite of the direction you want to go. The only type of games which it would make sense, is something to do with an aircraft

Normal for me...I'm uncoordinated with inverted :P. Ironically, in games where you take control of planes, I need the inverted scheme, for some reason.
