Poll: Do you use Inverted Y-axis in FPS

[TheTaco007]

I invert it for flying games but not shooters.

what he said

 

[azncutthroat]

It's hard for me to play as if I'm "handling" a puppet (i.e. pulling the "string" down makes the view go up and vice versa). Rather, I play with the mindset that I'm "acting" out the actions, therefore up = up and down = down.

I'm not sure about the rest of you though.

 

[Icehearted]

Invert for life!

I've skipped games that didn't allow me to change that, because for some reason I fail at up = up miserably.

 

[Mr. Gency]

No! Never!

I invert it for flying games but not shooters.

That's true for me as well. In fact, I couldn't beat the flight mission in Assassin's Creed 2 until it hit me that I could invert the flight controls.

 

[Double A]

No, up is up and down is down, just like it should be.

 

[ZeLunarian]

I get why people feel that 'pulling back' can make you look up... But for me it's like trying to go left by pressing right

-epic lecture-

I.... see o.o

yeah, I'm desperately in need of an outlet.

I tried it once, then switched back to normal and never looked back. It just felt unnatural. I always use the inverted Y in flying games, but for shooters? No dice.

 

[Snotnarok]

Flying only, because it makes sense. How? PULL UP MAVERICK

 

[Audioave10]

Flying would make sense but otherwise I never would want it inverted. It would drive me crazy.

 

[chuckman1]

No, never, I would rather die.
I would rather kill, eat and rape my entire local and extended family before castrating myself and putting a hot poker into the gaping wound that I had just created.
I would rather inject air bubbles into my bloodstream before curb-stomping my dog and learning all the words to What's My Age Again? by Blink 182.
Seriously.

I second that.

 

[blankedboy]

In flying, yes. Otherwise, no.

 

[ShakerSilver]

Nope. It just confuses the heck out of me. Moving the mouse up to look down or vise-versa does not work for me.

 

[Birdman1604]

Inverted, learned that way playing StarFox and it stuck. My friends think I'm crazy.

 

[XMark]

I recently made the switch from inverted to normal after years of inversion. It was actually a remarkably fast switch. Maybe I can go both ways now

 

[TheSicWon(Reigning over me)]

I do but only if I'm playing Halo don't know why I think Unreal Tournament is inverted as a default though

I do it for both but I think you nailed the reason right there. I think most of the "inverted" gamers are old goats like me who first experience with any sort of third dimension in a game was in flight simulators. Then we just sort of grew up into it that way.
