So its like having a favourite movie based on audio clips from certain sections of a couple of movies. Its an acceptable opinion, can't argue something subjective but its not one that matters and not relevant to a poll like this.

Actually it is relevant to this poll since this poll is about which game you favor the most.

A poll about which game you enjoyed playing the most would be one where my impressions would not be relevant until I play the games but it is not what this poll is about.

Actually defending this poll as being only relevant to those having played the games is what would kill the poll and make it irrelevant because ONLY those who played ALL games could answer the poll then. If you missed even one game in the poll you could not answer it since you wouldn't have knowledge of all games to judge which one you like better.

A movie is a different matter. I would never say I love this movie based on a trailer. I would only say "this movie seems interesting to watch" but I'd need to see the movie to say I love it. but with all the info you have on video games nowadays, critics, reviews, trailers, game play, discussions, debates and demos, you know a game so well that you can decide you will love a game or not in advance. At least I can and I have never been wrong so far, I have never picked a game thinking I will like it and ended up hating it, it has never happened to me yet.

Now I agree that playing a game gives you the ultimate knowledge about that game, it's the last step in knowing a game and if you play a game you know it better than me If I haven't played it, true. But I can know a game well enough before playing it to answer a poll that asks about a favorite game. And that's all this poll is about: A favorite game and NOT which game you enjoyed playing the most.

The information you talk about games is mostly available for movies and just any media nowadays. Demos are the only ones that are relevant because you play a part of the game. Critics, reviews, discussions, debates exist because everyone feels differently about a game by playing it and that's what it is, you might feel differently when you've played the games. You can decide the quality of a game in advance? That's a first.

I don't know how you can have a favourite among a series you haven't played. Guess I'm just too old school to care about gameplay mechanics and level design.
