Errr. No, it means you aren't interested enough, which is ok. But to know whether something is obwrrqtes you not you need to experience that said thing, otherwise is nothing but prejudice

Prejudice against games is again a non-issue  they are just entertainment after all. I have a strong prejudice against shooters, but I can't call any shooter overrated if I haven't actually played it in first place

Disagree. You don't need to do something yourself in order to judge it.

You don't need to get shot to know that getting shot is bad, just like you don't need to play a game to know that it's good/bad. It does help, but there are also other ways to figure that out.

The meaning of thinking something is overrated is the you don't find the rate/score of that thing appropriate, hence you need to make your personal rate for that thing. How can you rate something you don't know? 

Of course you need to experience the thing yourself to know if it's good or not

Otherwise is just plain prejudice and wishful thinking 

Or worse, it's construct your opinion on someone's opinion 

About your argument 

Getting a shot is bad based on the consequences of it. Objectively you will have your leg hurted, that's bad (well most people will agree that it's bad)

Gaming is a subjective experience and your opinion is  not complete until it goes down to your own physique 

You can rate objective things in a game as well, if the game has stable framerates or not, you don't have to play to know that 

You can also rate subjective things, like graphics. You can figure out the graphics only watching gameplay for instance and then state that you find the graphics or the story overrated 

You can listen the soundtrack, and then call the soundtrack overrated 

But to judge the game as a package, the game itself, the only way I can think of is to playing it yourself
