Even MORE Ryse

Trailers don't count of course. I'm referring to watching uninterrupted gameplay, like the live stream they did for Ryse.

Even then I like to try things myself. I'm a big Twitch.tv guy, and I watch all sorts of different games being played. The ones that look fun I try for myself, and sometimes they end up playing as well as they appear to on stream, other times they don't. 

I also don't put 100% faith in reviews because entertainment is largely subjective. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I just prefer to actually experience things before I judge them. I find it absurd to allow someone else to tell me how I am going to feel about something. I find it even more absurd to pass those opinions on as if they are my own. It's seems quite ridiculous to me when I see people on this forum spouting off about which games suck based on the opinion of other people that they have never even met.

Again, maybe I'm the strange one, and everyone that lets others tell them how they should feel are the normal ones.

 

I think some games can be judged purely from watching live gameplay others not so much.

For example if a game only relies on one mechanic or one type of gameplay then watching 30 minutes of gameplay is enough. If there's multiple things to do in game and you've only watched one aspect of it then its impossible to have an informed opinion about it.
