    Who plays like that x_x

    I started console FPS with Timesplitters 2, which used that control scheme as default. I’m pretty sure Goldeneye had similar control scheme as well.

    For me it’s natural to think the analog stick as my neck. I tilt my neck forward to look down. I tilt my neck back to look up.

        Videogame cameras in 1st person it's supposed to work like this:

        The REAL inverted would be move stick down and then you see down.

          I felt so great when I "discovered" using the numpad for movement to have more buttons available to bind useful stuff to. I think I did that with Jedi Knight. I was so excited, I told all my friends.

          Can't remember when I switched to WASD. Maybe with Unreal and/or Half Life.

            There's a version of this where 3rd person movement controls are logical to the avatar, rather than to the screen. Only in this case, it's the developers who are wrong. I'm looking at you, Resident Evil 1.

              If the first game you ever played with a stick was a flight simulator, then down is up.

                  This would imply the X axis has to be inverted too...

                          Some people visualize their Y tilt "lever" as in front of the fulcrum of their neck, and some people visualize it as behind the fulcrum. Thus some people find an inverted Y axis to be intuitive, while others don't. At least, this is how the reason for the preference has been explained to me.

                          I still think all you inverted Y axis people are monsters.

                              Yep. And for me, it changed. I played fps on controller my whole childhood, I was always standard. I started playing less controller and more mouse and keyboard as I got older.

                              A few years ago I started flying fpv drones.

                              Recently tried to use a controller again? Whoops I can only play inverted now 🤷‍♂️

                                For me I only accept inverted camera controls for orbiting cameras that aren't use for aiming.

                                  Yes!. I remember when my brother and I played our first 3D fps (half life), we both agreed it made more sense to invert the y axis. I hadn't even considered all our history playing joystick flight sims as an influence

                                    I was this way up to roughly the Xbox 360 era.

                                    And then it just didn't feel right any more. In fact neither way felt right for a while.

                                    Now I'm a right way up boy.

                                      I remember playing the original Rainbow Six game in 1998 inverted. Can’t remember why, or if that was the default, but I got used to it and haven’t been able to use the controls backwards since. Besides, if you lean forward you look down - why would controls be any different?

                                      By that logic, tilting the stick to the left should either make you look to the right, or just rotate the view without actually changing the direction you're looking in

                                        I think it's the original Halo that asks you to look up or down during the tutorial, and then chooses your input method based on what you press.

                                        Was a neat way of doing it.

                                          Or anything on the N64. Nintendo really loved inverted y in the early days of analog.
