    This meme template is so versatile... I've seen it in at least 5 completely different contexts.

      It’s largely an age gap I think. The first generation of FPS games on N64, PS1, etc used inverted controls, so if you’re an old man millennial like me, that’s how you learned to play.

      Then in later generations (PS2/3 and on) this changed and inverted became an option, rather than the default (or in some games, only!).

      Thus younger gamers are used to “standard” and older gamers used to inverted.

      I think Mario 64 was supposed to help transition people into 3D games, since they were pretty new, by leaning on the "you're controlling the camera guy" aspect. You remember that little flying guy they showed following Mario around filming him? So when you aim up you move the camera guy higher which in turn makes the camera look down to keep Mario in frame.

        Every time someone tries and pull out the “just imagine flying a plane” explanation all I can think is motherfucker you’re playing a fucking video game

          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.

          Am I a weirdo to thinks about turning my head to the left, not the back of my head to the right?

          This doesn't seem intuitive

              The best games shuffle your controller inputs at random on startup to promote mental flexibility and problem solving skills.

              Okay, not nearly the same, but I swear to god KH changes the fucking axis, target, and menu buttons each game, and my ass was fucking tired of it. So if a game changed inputs every save/startup I'd probably cry.

                Never heard of the airplane explanation, but I invert both if it's third person. I'm controlling the camera's position behind the character, not where they're looking.

                    This is how it works: Push down, nuzzle points up!

                    Push up, nuzzle goes down!

                    How can anyone play differently?

                        It makes so much sense on a plane. If you lose attention and lean on the control stick, the plane will tilt the nose down and yank you back into the seat. If the direction was up, the plane would slam you into the stick and the plane would do infinite loops, especially if you black out.

                              The only time I would use inverted controls, is in a flight sim. And only planes. Spaceships I still want up for up.
