    I invert y-axis in first person, but in third person with a joystick i invert x-axis too. The way that makes sense to me is the joystick controls the orbit of the camera. I know this is insane, but like you, I’m also married to the idea. I think maybe it depends on if it’s a shooter or an arpg like kingdom hearts where one joystick moves the character and the other joystick moves the camera.

      I’ve heard it explained with the joystick controlling the head of the character.

      Imagine a joystick sticking out of the back of their head. That’s your controller joystick.

        Yeah that’s kind’ve how it works, but for me, I guess the closest I describe how I imagine it is Lakitu from sm64 literally orbiting the player
