Hi all, to me this is a much bigger issue than whether or not the guide button is a proper exit method. I cannot play games that do not allow me to invert the y-axis. I just can't get used to it and It doesn't feel right to me. Up is down and down is up. What do you think? I would like a poll on this too :)

I don't know that this should be a fail condition... this is more of a preference, but it doesn't inconvience players all that much... i don't know..

inconvenience? I don't know how many games I've had to turn off within seconds of playing because of this issue.

To me, this is no different from not being able to play a flight sim because you can't figure out the complex controls (I've never played a flight sim before, but I assume the controls are complicated). As another example, I know people who can't play twin stick shooters because they just can't get the hang of moving in one direction and shooting in another. As long as the functionality of the controls are correct, it shouldn't be a fail, even if you can't figure it out. Of course, it would be really nice if a game supported Y-axis inversion (and even nicer if they grabbed the player's default profile preferences), but I don't think it's a failable offense if it's missing.

If this was from any other poster, I would think it was a piece of immensely well-executed satire.  Sadly...

Nope... not a fail... if you don't like it then don't buy it.

fine lock the thread, good luck trying to convince people that its different than using guide to exit.

Perhaps you should open a Connect issue about it :P

EDIT: In good humor, of course. :)

Who said anything about locking the thread... you asked if it was a fail reason... i gave you my opinion... yes I'm getting a little terse. I don't have time to reply to all the forum posts you generate so I am forced to spend less time on my replies.

And for the record I dont think guide to exit is a fail reason either... these fall into the category of make your game good enough for people to buy IMO.

This is a feature, Features = No Fail. So your request = Fail.

I don't think having the option to invert y-axis is a feature at this point in video gaming history. talk to anyone who plays inverted and they will tell you it is a necessity.

For them, maybe. Totally different than not have an exit function. End of story.
