I'm a female PC gamer; very occasionally I play on other people's consoles but generally I prefer to watch them play as I've never got the hang of controllers at all.

I prefer to be able to see my character when I'm playing a game with a character to be able to see (I count the car as the character in racing games).

I am ridiculously bad at computer games, especially from a spatial awareness perspective - I really like CRPGs of many stripes, but I regularly just stick things on God Mode to be able to play through them without all the inconvenient dying, and anyone who's seen me trying to pilot a FPS can attest to my complete inability to sensibly control a character from a first person perspective; jumping puzzles literally make a game unplayable for me as I just cannot solve them in any view.
