Ok, as an "inverted" gamer, I failed to understand the whole conversation on the NDX about inverting being a "dying" breed. Can anyone explain his point?

not really, its all about personal taste, personally i like the inverted controls in flight sims but controlling a third/first person shooter like that just feels weird

I'm a inverted player (vertical of course), that's where it's at. Me and my girlfriend started playing together a couple of years ago, and she's all new to the console gaming scene, and guess what she did? Inverted vertical AND horizontal. The game, I lost it. That shit be hardcore.

I believe the standard for N64 games was inverted.  However, the norm has switched to the opposite direction so the number of inverted players are decreasing.  I doubt they'll ever truly be gone however.

i used to be an inverter, but one day i played a game and it just felt wrong, and i haven't been able to go back since.

Inversion is a choice. It's not natural and you people will be judged for your unholy ways.

FUCK!!! double invert is like playing super meat boy with the guitar peripheral. "

Pressing up should make the character look up. 

" Pressing up should make the character look up.  "

its like using a video camera

I only invert for Flight sims.

Don't make me bring up the head tilting back argument! "

A game is unplayable to me if the controls aren't inverted and I'm not so sure I could learn how to play games without an option to do it.  If inverted controls ever went away I would have to give up gaming.

The default camera controls for Hyperdimension Neptunia is "normal", but the "normal" is actually inverted, and the "inverted" is actually normal.

 The accumulated filth of all their inverted controls will foam up about their waists and all the invertees will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No."

Ok so I've never played flight sims or N64 FPSs and I still inverted my controls day 1. I don't invert mouse controls though. It feels natural, and I don't understand why Paul thinks it will go away.....

Ewwww. People who invert controls are crazy.

I used to play as inverted and I was more efficient. Now that I've gotten more used to standard and I can't go back I'm not as good as I once was.

I use inverted controls on gamepads and standard controls on the mouse.

Always be inverted!

I think the thing some people don't understand about playing games inverted is that it's just how some people learned to play games. I'm inverted because I literally cannot aim with regular controls, I just can't. I grew up playing console shooters over at friends' houses and all of their games were set to inverted, so it's just how I learned to navigate and aim in those games. And at this point, I've played so many console shooters this way, it would take me hundreds of hours to revert to regular controls. Would I prefer to be regular? Sure, it'd make switching off a controller to a friend easier, but it's not like I'm doing it to be some elitist or anything, it's just how I grew up.

Tilting your head forward makes you look down, pulling your head back makes you look up.  I will fight all of you.  Inverted forevs.

I used to be standard, but then I spent a few hours playing inverted and now it's the only way I can play.

They may take my life... but they shall never take... my inverted Y!

Basically what I got was back around the N64 inverting or not inverting your controls was standard set up. Now though most games don't even bring it up. If you ask a kid who grew up with Xbox and PS2 what inverting your controls meant they'd have no clue or would just think its a weird thing to do.
