I prefer non-inverted, except for flying games. XP

Ei, pare de ficar jogando esse Pokémon Red ou Blue ou Green que estás achando que existe mensagens subliminares em qualquer jogo, além dessa cidade Lavander

Translated into the English-speaking Latinos understand-brasinheiro:

Hey, stop playing to get this Pokemon Red or Blue or Green you're thinking that there subliminal messages in any game, and this city Lavender

I go with the default for the game I'm playing.

Non-inverted for me. I can play inverted, but it never feels natural.

Good Ole Default when i push up i expect to look up =P same way with down :3!

I have to play inverted. Anytime I play a game on the console the first thing I do is enter the options and change it to inverted.

And if you're used to inverted, stick with it. It's what works for you. It's nothing more than a controller pref which you want.

I guess but I dunno... I might play better if I get use to non-invert? Don't know till I try. But I dunno, Splinter-Cell Trilogy, game I never played at all, seems to be taking away inverted control. Who knows when other games will do that? Just if I can master both then I am all good... right? Hmm. I added a link in the journal.

I play inverted 100% of the time if I can. Non-inverted just feels wrong to me - I'm going to chalk that up to DOS fighter games like TIE-Fighter, Wing Commander, Privateer 2, and others, based on aircraft flight...which as you already mentioned..yeah~

I think it should be pretty easy to understand; I'm surprised you say some just don't seem to 'get it'. If you play inverted, you position yourself as if you were directly behind the character you're controlling. If you were standing behind a friend and wanted to make them look up, you pull their head back. Look down, you shove your hand into their head and it goes down. You are focussed at the back of the character's head. Non-inverted makes more sense if you're in the character's skull itself, and are focussing on the front of the head rather than the back.

Most games give you an option to change. I guess some might not and you'll have to get used to a certain method, but you won't be any better or worse for using inverted/non-inverted Y-axis controls. It's nothing more than a preference.

Same thing for X-axis controls. While I can get used to whichever (It's not often an option in jRPGs), it comes down to whether your brain thinks of it as pointing the camera a particular direction or swinging the cameraman around so he's pointing a certain way

Yeah I say the same thing to others. I am use to inverted and I give the whole, if you want someone to look down and you are behind them, you pull the back of their head for them to look up... and push their head forward to look down.

If you read the comments on the link I posted on both Youtube and Dtoid you will see what I mean by those with non-inverted just don't seem to get it. They sound confused and can't understand the concept of pulling someone's head from behind and all. They always think in front with the eyes, saying I look up if I wanna look up with my eyes. But I give the whole, well your eyes in the back have to roll down to look up. And eh yeah... they seem confused, I dunno.

But I dunno. With how that article said the Splinter-Cell Trilogy, inverted won't be there... who knows when games will take away inverted as an option? Back in the day, inverted was the default... then it changed to non-invert being default so yeah... new gamers being molded to non-invert. I am surprised with all the non-invert people though. It felt like more people would use inverted to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il-7z85lABo <----this is my answer.

Yeah part of why I made the post. I added the link in it now. But notice that in the video, it seems confusing but... if going by non-invert standards... the guy in the helicopter had it on what video games put as "default" which is non-invert so down went down.

i did. I guess it was inverted for the driver of the helicopter, not for a player, assuming it was real life or something along those lines.

If that is indeed his response to the no inverted for Splinter-Cell Trilogy... then he is saying how stupid it is not for that game to include inverted? With no inverted, it means that down on the helicopter would go down instead of up, since inverted does not exist? I dunno... I wonder if he made a bit of a mistake making that or what but it seems alot of people are confused by what was meant.

not true!! I'm right about this and everyone else is wrong! Isn't that how the world works? Implying what would happen if someone inverted the controls on a real helicopter.

I usually play with non-inverted. The only game I can think of that I've played with inverted was Ecco the dolphin for Dreamcast. I think some people here hit on some good points. It seems if the game has that somewhat of a flying perspective, I'd prolly be completely fine with inverted.

Yeah which is odd that people are ok with inverted with flying yet their brain cannot process that for characters? I mean seems that is what people seem to agree on most with inverted, with the flying vehicles.

It seems like its differnt for different games, sometimes i have to invert the axis other times, no. I donno who has what by default or if theirs even a standard default :U

Heh well the standard default these days is non-inverted. Back in the old days of N64 and such it was inverted as the default I believe.

But yeah I mean I guess people can use both, even if it does matter on the kind of game. I am always inverted for all games so hmm... yeah. It is interesting to hear of those non-inverted yet seem to do inverted with flying or game depending... hmm I dunno.

non, and no i think you should play the way your comfortable playing

it depends for me, First Person games I play inverted, 3rd person non-inverted.

I say stick with what feels best for you, the entire discussion is pointless in my eyes anyhow *laughs*
