Inverted, because I don't think of the directions as up and down in a 3D game, I think of them as forward and backward. After all, if I press "up" on the left stick in a console FPS I don't go up, do I? I go forward. I just absolutely cannot get used to thinking of forward as up. It doesn't make any sense to me.
for me it depends if im playing pc or console. pc its non-inverted but on my 360 its always inverted
the reasoning behind this is because my first 2 games i ever played were flight sims on the pc and i had a joystick for them so i thought i would make the flight sim as realistic as possible. after that i got a flight sim for my N64 and played it with y-inverted and i found i adapted better at goldeneye when i had it inverted. i only played rts/ rpg games (non-first person games) on pc so y-inversion was never an option really. i didnt really start getting into shooters and first person style games on the pc until around 3 years ago and the inversion never really felt right with a mouse

me and my brother use to play against each other with both inverted just for that extra challenge. its really funny because in the heat of the moment you would find yourself reverting to the control style you were use to and end up running into a wall or blowing yourself up. i highly recommend doing this at LAN parties when you get bored and just want to laughcrudus said:
I'm a non-invert. But then again most of the time that stuff is an issue I'm either aiming (Resident Evil 5) or first-person looking (Oblivion). In both cases my focus is on the level of 'where are my sights', so I don't move my character's gun or eyes up, I move my central focus up, the gun or eyes or bow or whatever are just what I'm aiming at my focus, if that makes sense.
I've been playing with an inverted Y-axis ever since I can remember. Back in the days of Unreal '99 and Serious Sam.
I only use inverted for flight games. Its weird because I instantly think of flying a plane like that. EX in Banjo Nuts/Bolts, I was driving my car then switched it to a plane and pushed down on the right stick to pull up.
