Poll: Do You Invert?

[levelone]

it all comes down to perspective. but i like to mix and match controls some times.

i just realised I've played SA-MP for 500 hours, with the mouse inverted. i immediately fixed it.

though i can play both ways i guess, it just makes sense to be non inverted.

.....a far bigger problem is that i always move my mouse using my left hand, when its to the right of the keyboard.

Apparently, when you pick up a game for the first time, whether or not you like the inverse thumbstick/mouse setting depends on which side of the brain you use most.

I use inverse. Because I can.

P.S. To anyone wonderring:
The y-axis is the up/down.

I found a paper during my psych degree research which theorised that inversion often comes down to perspective. Inverters apparently tend to view the camera as a physical mechanism wthin the virtual environment to be manipulated much like their neck would move to adjust the view in real life. Non-inverters allegedly see the environment purely as an interface so their logic dictates up be up and down be down.

Of course, we adapt to different styles, but I think our initial approach may indeed be dictated about whetther you use the creative or logical side of your brain.

Hrrrm... I should have done my thesis on this and not VR. :-/

Does that explain why I can only use invert while in third person?
Like in gears of war i can use either, but it drives me insane in Call of duty

If it's a game that involves flying planes, I invert the Y axis for the planes only (if possible)

Everything else, down is down, up is up

 

[Aurora219]

Evil. I hate inverted Y axes, they give me motion sickness. I often have to stab my housemate for messing with my controller.

 

[Piemaster]

Non-inverted for most games, inverted for flight sims. Seems more logical that way.

 

[Kinichie]

I am said housemate. But I only use Invert for consoles, not PC.

 

[timmytom1]

Always standard. Up is up. Down is down. Left is left. Right is right. Same with movement. Anything else would be ridiculous.

Agreed though perhaps it`s because of a time when i let my cousin play goldeneye only for the bastard to forget to tell me he`d inverted the controls ,it took me nearly 15 min to figure out what the hell had happend

 

[Slash Dementia]

I can't get used to playing with it inverted. So no - never.

 

[FallToYourDeath]

I can use either, i just stick to the default setting

 

[The Ambrosian]

Dont See The Point In It Myself..Its Just Easier To Use The Defaults

 

[Arachon]

I occasionally invert for flight simulators, but usually I use a joystick for flight simulators, which are "inverted" by default, and playing a flight simulator without a joystick is nigh impossible (try getting out of a spin using your mose & keyboard o,O)

 

[SageOfCalm]

I always invert. If you don't invert you're a communist.

 

[Overlord_Dave]

For some reason it's the only way I can play FPSs with a thumbstick, which I'm naff at anyway. Mouse and WASD ftw!

EDIT: And this

I always invert. If you don't invert you're a communist.

Yeah, maybe because 3rd person promotes the notion of camera operation as opposed to perspective control.

 

[PersianLlama]

Overall no, but...For some weird reason, I inverted in Goldeneye, and only Goldeneye.

 

[Arcyde]

When I was younger I did. But not any more.

 

[meece]

inverted only when flying....and can only fly with it inverted.

 

[B4D 9R4MM3R]

Anything with a stick needs to be inverted on the y-axis, otherwise I end up looking at the sky or the ground, but never at the guys shooting me. The mouse can be left alone, however.
