There's no "correct" way to do it. It all comes down to personal preference.
Sure there is, down = down and up = up. Anything else might be functional, and even preferable for many, but anything where the directions do not match is not correct.
Possibly, but as Charlie Brooker recently said on this very topic, "The analog stick is like your head. You pull back to look up, you push forward to look down."
I can't find the original article but it was a discussion on this topic between him and Dara O Briain.
And it's true. When you think about it, you don't push "up" on an analog stick, you push "forward".
But yeah, I get what you're saying. And my friend constantly picks me up on it whenever I change my settings to inverted. But like I said, it all comes down to preference.
i absolutely hate that arguement, anytime someone brings that up they never ever flip the horizontal axis then, which is complete bullshit and opposite of that reason (not at you, just the person you were quoting from in the discussion) brought up.
If your going to flip, then flip them both for logics sake, if your going to flip one, fine, awesome, personal preference, but don't try to throw logic at me with it
OK, lets not get carried away with this!
As a point of interest, I did used to play with both axis' inverted. I went through the whole of Batman:Arkham Asylam like that. But when I got Mass Effect, I almost had to give up on it, because it doesn't have an option for inverting the x-axis. So I went back and played through B:AA for a week or so, without x inverted, to try and get used to the controls.
And that's the problem. Most games allow you to invert the y-axis, bbut I've only seen a handful that allow you to do the same to the x-axis.
I'm sure if I wanted to, I could re-train myself to use non-inverted controls. But I like playing the way I do. And as long as the games I want to play allow me to invert the y-axis, I shall play them like that.
