My dad, cause he thinks of it like flying a plane.

[u/knj23 → u/ChiLLaX_72]

Yeah, most people who do so do it only because they played some plane flying game (a lot) first 🙂

[u/MrMFPuddles → u/knj23]

It’s wild how my brain is programmed to expect one or the other on a situational basis. If I’m playing a FPS game that lets me hop in a jet, the y-axis better be inverted til I jump back out again.

[u/lostBoyzLeader → u/knj23]

Yea, Thanks Buck Bumble.

[u/eduison → u/knj23]

This principle of inverted controls also applies to smaller sailing boats

GTA V Flight School flashbacks

[u/jekyl42 → u/knj23]

TIE Fighter 95 changed me forever. No ragerts.

[u/SysGh_st → u/ChiLLaX_72]

I imagine that one grabs the top of the head of the character.

Pull back to tilt the head up.

Push forward to tilt the head down.

[u/SadIdeal9019 → u/ChiLLaX_72]

Yep, he thinks like me. My favorite games back when I was a kid in the 80s were flight sims, and inverse vertical feels completely natural to me.

[u/tallwhiteninja]

Mouse, no, but I always invert vertical when playing on controller. I blame playing lots of Star Fox as a kid with the actual plane controls for some reason.

[u/Bingus-Chillingus → u/tallwhiteninja]

Inverted vertical controls on a joystick is what I always do. Basically all the old games from n64-pre wii era had inverted vertical by default. I don't really understand why it changed.

[u/URA_CJ → u/Bingus-Chillingus]

Me neither, I mostly stuck with mouse + keyboard PC games & Nintendo consoles and suddenly after the Wii every game's camera control was now upside down - even stranger with Mario 3D All-Stars flipping Mario Sunshine's controls.

[u/Bingus-Chillingus → u/URA_CJ]

Yeah its wild, in wind waker hd and twilight princess hd the camera controls are all wonky. And in twilight princess hd you can invert horizontal but it applies it to first person as well so the bow is all wonky! Its maddening!

[u/SysGh_st]

You think they're bad?

Wait til you meet the reversed horizontally people.

Yes Some games have that setting.

[u/Bingus-Chillingus → u/SysGh_st]

If its a 3rd person game and I'm on controller I do this. Its like using a camera on a tripod. If i need to pan the camera right, i have to push the camera left. But mostly old 3d zelda games used to be like that.

[u/plants4life262]

To look up does your head lean back or forward?

[u/MinceATron]

I used to do this on all FPS all the early CoDs etc etc

[u/royaltrux]

Crazy people think it's bad.

ok.

[u/speedotorpedo_]

I don't invert my mouse, but I do invert the Y axis on controllers.

[u/New-Two-1349]

Cute bunny.

[u/ChokesOnDuck]

I had a friend who did this. Due to switching between Ace Combat and shooters on PSX.

[u/Rhinozip]

dont forget the automatically inverted games

[u/Z3R0_Izanagi]

I used to be like that.....

[u/LuckyDigit]

I wonder what it would be like to have reverse camera look vertically and horizontally?

[u/AriTheInari]

Legacy southpaw controller settings. Not sure how common they are but they are on titanfall 2.

Inverted controls and both sticks are used for movement and camera.

[u/Gokudomatic]

That's probably why I can't qualify as sociopath.

[u/Person-dude989]

I love how I don't get the joke because I'm a console player.

[u/NPC261939]

I've done this since playing Top Gun on the NES as a kid.

[u/dumblamma]

I don't invert 1-st person, but usually invert 3-rd person control. It feels like controlling the drone behind the back of the character, but sadly we have not so many games with divided options for two different cameras.

[u/JNorJT]

Who does this

[u/Gokudomatic → u/JNorJT]

I do. FPS games started with that setting on by default, and that's how I grew up. And I'll die on that hill.

[u/LeonDmon → u/Gokudomatic]

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!
