So what I want to know from you guys is whether or not you have ever criticised a game or gaming service without trying it first? Such as reading a lot of reviews on a game and then giving your own opinion of how much it sucks/ rocks.

I gave The Order a lot of shit without playing it.

Although most of it was just being a dick on purpose.

Not really though there are a few exceptions, and those tend to be really bad games that I don't even want to play...

Such as ET, The Letter, Sonic Boom and Meme Run.

PSNow comes to mind...

Yes... The Ouya

(And the Order + psnow)

^ I do it to be a dick when I want to be. I also do it to the vita whenever I see someoneo boasting about it while trying to put down Wii U because... I'm well I'm a defender.

Playstation Plus.

Everyone has, it might be in the form of a joke or a jab but we've all done it. Anyone that says they haven't are straight up liars (and are probably evil Atheists jk)

Yes. Plenty of times. For instance I just criticized THPS5, a game that has not even come out yet, for having poor character models. Furthermore, I have called Comcast a bunch of Fascists without even having dealt with them before. There is nothing wrong with criticizing something that you have not tried. If the pro-sayers are justified in their criticism of your "unfounded" criticism, then you are the only one who is losing out anyway.

PSNow is garbage. May be good for someone with lower standards but I don't need to try it to know it will suck.
