You don't need to play something to not like it, you can see gameplay and read the reviews glaring points to base the opinion that the game isn't good. Even more you can't even be sure if people that are criticizing haven't played just because you don't like what they say.

Yes, you do not need to play something to not like it just like you do not need to know someone to dislike them.  The thing is people throw out opinions as if they played the game or if its a person like they know the person.  There are many games I thought looked like junk or did not look interesting when looking at the gameplay but changed my mind once I actually had a chance to play.  At the end of the day, an opinion without first hand experience is pretty much only worthy to the person giving it.  I would always take an opinion from someone who shares my interest in the type of games I play who has experience with a game then any particular critic or a person just throw off their opinion with no knowledge of the game outside of their knowledge of reviews.
