It really depends on the girl, there are 2-5 girls in the clan I am a part of (my self included there) and when it comes to some games one of them (us) is always useless at it. Be it World of Tanks or Minecraft. TF2 or Hearthstone, or even CS:GO not everyone is good at every game. It takes practice. Sakura is better at console games where as Raine is better at PC, what I'm trying to say is sure there are some girls that are good at both PC and console games but then there are some who give girls a bad name by acting like they have never seen a controller in their life.
I mean seriously girls if you can freaking apply perfect make up at 7 am you can work out how to use a freaking controller. Its not hard.
I know where you are coming from when you say you have tried to explain how use a controller to a girl I have the same frustration with the females in the clan. A basic convo is even difficult for them. ' you see the analog stick, no the stick by your left thumb. Yes that, you use that to move. Right, get in the car by pressing triangle, no triangle. Stop shooting me and get in the freaking car.' That is how EVERY convo goes, and that's just trying to teach someone how to play GTA. Its not rocket science.
I know this is not a very balanced answer showing both sides and crap, and it is probably too long for anyone to read but seriously. Yes I know some girls were not raised like me, constantly on my PS2 playing Tekken (1-4) against anyone who would play against me but my sister had the exact same and even she doesn't know how to use a controller.
I'm sorry this was so long, thank you if you read this far. Yes all names of people in this are either gamer tags or changed

Hmm... I know quite a few girls who play videogames (and are good at them!). I guess it's the equivalent to sports. Some girls are great at sports. Then there's some, like myself, who absolutely suck at (most of) them. :D
Then there's girls who suck at videogames, and then there's some (like myself) who are very good at videogames. Videogames have always been considered a "guy thing", so I guess when most girls were younger, they probably weren't introduced to videogames. My dad has always worked with computers, and growing up, I wanted to do whatever my dad was doing, so... when he would play the original Warcraft, I would watch, and I'd want to play. My mom was a huge fan of Pacman, Mario, and Donkey Kong, so I often played those due to both my mom and dad loving those. Our 'family time' when I was a kid was playing videogames, so I grew up with a love for videogames. :) For other girls.. they were just doing other things I guess.
calm down man. Some do some don't. And many of them who do like some special games mostly and it's just a group who play any game like boys. It's not because it's the way they have been raised and it's a "guy thing" no it's not, they are just busy doing other things. views are different, so interests are different. I played video games from when I was 5 to last year, and I only played with boys myself because even my best friend just liked some retarded games. It's the same with books too, most of the girls read love poems and love stories, why do you think a crap like twilight got so famous? just saying. but it's a group of them who adventure books and generally books with deeper meanings. I don't want to say boys are more intelligent or something but interests are different, and it's related to different types of intelligence and which one is more powerful.
Because we're too busy getting free drinks at the bar.. flirting with boys and having sex?
I'm a guy and I've been playing games since computers first came out in the mid-70s. I only play PC games and I don't use sticks, controllers or anything like that. That's a kid's thing. They grew up doing that stuff. I totally suck at that kind of thing. I think the kids who grow up with it develop skills for that specific thing. They don't think anything of it because they've been doing it so long. It's not something you just jump into and start doing. I think their entire brain is wired for that activity because they developed it at such a young age.
As for knowing how to use an analog stick. If they don't know it then they don't know it. You've probably been using them forever and it seems simple to you, but it might not be simple to someone who's never used one before.
Guys just seem to be into games more than girls. That was true back when personal computers first came out. It's not true for everyone though. My sister has been playing games as long as I have.
Dude, most guys suck too. Out of the thousands of people I've played video games with, I've met very few that are actually better than me. Pretty much the only people I know can challenge me is my 2 closest homies, everyone else gets owned, guy or girl.
As to what you're talking about, yeah, how the fuck would they be good if they've never played?
You try putting on makeup, see how well you do that.

I know what you mean lmao. I'm a huge gamer and I get somewhat frustrated having to teach anyone how to play or do things on it. At first it doesn't bother me, but when they keep doing the same mistakes that I just went over, it makes me so annoyed. One thing that I hate about some female "gamers" however, is that a lot of them will "stream" on twitch, and they aren't even good, yet since they're really pretty they get loads amount of donations. Most of them will just sit there and do nothing, not even play the game, yet gets donations. It irks me. I wish they'd be legit and actually play the game.
Gaming seems to be more of a male trait. I game too but I am not nearly as good as my boyfriend but I am much better now then when I first started. It takes practice, you probably been gaming for a few years. Where most girls probably don't even own a system.
Because gaming towers don't usually fit in the kitchen. What's an analog stick? Do you put them in sandwiches?
Because they are raised to play games with guys and makeup, not videogames.
I personally have an obsession for Legend of Zelda games like Ocarina of Time and everything. I was brought up with those games as a kid and it just brings back memories. I am not into black opps and everything tho tbh. I likegrand theft auto, but not most shooting games. I think I'm alright at playing videogames. I beat Ocarina of Time in a day when playing non stop so thats not bad.Because we can't be good at everything. If we were good at everything then how would guys feel about that?
Maybe we just let to think we are bad a video games ;)Because they were lazy to play it before, and need to get the hang of it at first. Now, not understanding that "by pushing a stick in that direction, you will go in that direction" seems like an indicator of low intelligence, though.
Well, biologically/evolutionarily speaking, men have better hand eye coordination.
But why a girl doesn't understand what a control does… you either suck at explaining or the girls you're referencing are stupid.they just need practice. no one is good their first time lol. mostly hahaa.
I don't know about other girls but I can't spend 3-4 hours straight playing the same game or even dif games. Can spend so long doing just one thing that's boring
You've been jerking off for years, they haven't. Of course you know how to work the little stick.
Because we've gamed longer, girls aren't usually into them. Female friends of mine will say they're "gamers", but only played FF13 for 10 minutes, and in general play once every blue moon.
Because I have no clue what each button means unless you tell me beforehand since I don't usually play video games. Why are guys so bad at not knowing the differences between makeup?
Girls suck at video games? Well sir let me introduce you to my best friend and my cousin. Both of these ladies rock at video games.
Because it's not their top priority.
Hahaha, I love this question.
Men have better hand-eye coordination too.
