So how many of you are running around playing FPS with inverted stick layouts?

Inverted makes more sense to me for shooters. Moving a reticle like a cursor doesn't feel as intuitive as aiming it up and down like a cannon.
I think for me it's just a useful disconnect for the fact that analog sticks don't allow 1:1 accuracy, and inverted means you're not moving the stick with any expectation of that.

1) Since always. Could have been GoldenEye, Starfox, or the many space flight sims I played on PC before that.
2) I tried default just this week because...
3) ...I was playing with my kids and leave it on default for all the controller-swapping we do. I'm future-proofing them from the pain of ALWAYS having to go into the menu and change the controls to inverted in every damn game I play. I'm sure if I took the time I could rewire my brain to play with default, but I've been playing it this way for over two decades, why should *I* have to change?! (shakes fist at clouds)

Inverted is the correct way and I have proof
Imagine a control stick on the top of your head or back of your head, now think of your thumb on that control stick
Which way would you move the stick to look up?

Holyshit the votes are alot closer than what I thought it would be.
Default for me. I only inverted if its the default setting for that specific game.
Move down = Look up
Move up = Look down
But you would have to invert left and right as well.

If the stick is at the back of one's head

Inverted. No idea when or why, but it feels entirely natural. I've forced my kids and wife to be inverted too, they can't function any other way ahahaha.
I was playing quake last night and in the
options, inverted means up is up. That's just how we used to do things.
It's more comfortable for me and far more intuitive since I bend back to look all the way up and I bend forward to look down.
And I know this is rare, perhaps superhuman, but I can flip back and forth between inverted and non at any moment and play fine. Takes about 5 seconds of adjustment.
So I can play them both and I can tell you which one is trash.

The anti-inverted people always seem a little deranged. Get help.
But yes, it was playing X-Wing on PC that did it.
The stick is your neck and the pad your head. Tilt it forward to look down, tilt it back to look up.
I started this with Golden Eye or Halo 1. one of those.

Imagine your eyes, they look up and see the sky, when they look down you see your feet.
I shoot with my mind dammit lol
Do whatever you want. But people who think inverted Y without inverted X is somehow rational are delusional.

I e played with inverted, but now I just use default. It would take a bit of adjustment to go back to inverted at this point, but it probably wouldn't take long to get used to it.
I think inverted was in GoldenEye and/or Perfect Dark, and probably Timesplitters also as default. Not sure.

Inverted for everything since I can remember, my 24 year old brother plays inverted as well due to me being the older brother with the games at the time. Yet our youngest brother plays normal.
Inverted since the days of N64 games with first person view. Last time I tried to deal with standard was with Beyond Good & Evil. Tried and failed. Never beat that game because I simply can't control standard.
What happens when you push your head left, does it turn right?
We're not talking about turning. Everyone agrees on the good way to turn.
Put that stick on top of your head and perform the same action. You push forward you look down you pull back you look up. This is the correct way to play video games and fly aircraft.
It drove me nuts with Silent Hill Homecoming not having that option on PS3. Had to retrain my brain constantly - immediately was able to go back to playing inverted afterwards though.
- Some time in 1996, with the shareware version of Quake.
- I think one of the recent Lego games didn't allow invert look. Either that, or Beyond Good and Evil. Neither went well.
- I will allow my children to decide on their own, but I will heavily incentivize inverted look.

The rest of you non-inverted, unwashed masses are monsters.

On console I invert, on PC now that I've had Steam Controller for quite some time, I'm mouse look on the right touch pad. Touch pad and gyro should be the future, it's so nice and accurate.
Gyro with in-depth configurations, so you can turn it off or use it however you want with the sensitivity and activation method you want. Like gyro assist when aiming down sights. Don't know why so many console people are against gyro options, well other than they don't want people that are ok with using it to have an advantage.
