This goes for PC and console gamers for some reason while I was in the shower this morning getting ready for work, and wondered why I have to go into every game I play and invert my y axis, is this not normal, so much that some day they will get rid of the option all together? I would probably stop playing video games. Now I know that flight sims worked this way, but I have never played a flight sim, so why do I feel the need to do this, and does anyone else here do it, it's the first thing I do when I turn on a new 1st, or 3rd person game. The best thing I have thought of so far in the hour I have been thinking about this is I guess it is kind of like if you stuck a joystick through the top of my head, for one I would be in a lot of pain, but two if you then pushed it forward I would look down, and if you pulled it back I would look up, so I guess that is they way I play. Also I have always done it this way, PC and Console, I don't remember ever using back to look down,and when I forget to do it, I can't control my character at all, So who else out there inverts the Y?

for me, up is up, down is down
the only time I invert is for flying airplanes
for fps, I don't understand the appeal of inverting, just seams unnatural

it is not appealing to me, just the only way I can play, it is the way I have always done it. To me it is not up is down, but forward is down, when you push a joystick you are pushing it forward. Although if I were using a d-apd I would still have the up be down, so I guess that argument won't hold much ground, but I still see it as forward=down, backward=up. I am just an inverter I am not ashamed...

Inverted Y is more natural. If you look at a joystick as if it were a head, if you wanted the head to look down, you wouldn't pull back. You would push it forward.
I can't understand why people wouldn't invert the Y.

Why are you imagining you are using a joystick? Do they even make those anymore? Up is Up, Down is Down. I've played the same FPS for years, and i am pretty good at it. FPS is all about natural reaction and that is what is natural for me. You're just weird.

The analog stick on a controller is the same thing as a joystick, so yeah millions of people use them everyday. Like you said "natural reaction" which to me the way the head moves is natural, so that is the way I game.
joy⋅stick /ˈdʒɔɪˌstɪk/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [joi-stik] Show IPA –noun 1. Informal. the control stick of an airplane, tank, or other vehicle. 2. Computers. a lever resembling this, used to control movement of a cursor or other graphic element for video games and computer graphics. 3. any leverlike switch for controlling, manipulating, guiding, or the like.
