So what your saying is, we can't form an opinion on something unless we actually interact with it.

No, what we're saying is that the opinion of someone who has enganged in the actual gameplay of a video game is worth exponentially more than someone who has just observed it. It's worth so much more, in fact, the the lesser opinion is extremely close to invalid when trying to compare it to another video game's gameplay

Here is an example of your opinion: You have an apple and an orange. You really, really, really like apples but you have never tried an orange. You say that apples taste better than oranges, because you don't like the color of the orange.

Here is an example of a valid opinion: You like apples better than oranges because there's less chance to bite into a seed when eating an apple.
