How do you decide whether or not to buy a game then?  Granted there will be more accurate information once the game is out, but at a certain point, unless you buy literally all the games, you have to make a decision on a game without having actually played it.

A few things play a role.  Genre, developer history (do I like their previous games), I'll read reviews, coop (couch) additions are selling points.  Either way, the point being I don't judge a game unless I have played it.  Like Death Standing, which I am not buying (not my genre), you won't see me running around the forum talking about how lazy it is.  I haven't played it, so I won't comment much on it much, outside it isn't my type of game based on reviews.  Ultimately a few folks (I'd rather use other words) have already judged Pokemon...  without reading a single review, without playing it.  That is moronic at best.  

Edit

More to the point, if there is a game that I don't plan on buying, I don't dedicate my day attempting to convince others they should join my "team."  I leave well enough alone and accept everybody has different tastes.

Well, I think that just about settles that. I completely agree, and I usually decide on games much the same. I've never understood those that try to get others to hate/love anything.to each their own.
