GTA IV.

Repetitive, glitchy, awkward, frustrating, and ultimately boring.

Why did I buy this game?

I want to try Red Dead Redemption, but I'm afraid it's just like GTA IV in that the world is gigantic, and you THINK you can do SO MANY THINGS, but the reality is it's
repetitive, glitchy, awkward, frustrating, and ultimately boring.
And it just got immediate 10/10 ratings from everyone because OMG ITS LIKE GTA WITH HORSES JIZZINMYPANTS I LOVE ROCKSTAR

Rockstar may be the Apple of the gaming world. Spend tons of money on making it look nice, reality is it's not that fun of a  game.

Just Cause 2 - Was fun for a little while, but became boring rather quickly after I beat the game. It's a huge world, but there's not much more you can do but blow shit up and tie people to things.

Red Dead Redemption - I really enjoyed this at first, but I got bored with it. I haven't even beaten it because I haven't felt like playing.

Honestly, I wish I didn't buy (at least one of) these games and instead used the 120/60 dollars to buy Super Mario Galaxy 2, which I really doubt would disappoint me at all.

I thought RDR was better than GTA, never liked anything other than Vice City myself, but it isn't ACTION PACKED THRILLER, there are boring parts but the story told is MUCH better and more drawing than GTA stories.

That's weird. Nintendo's portable consoles were supposed to be free from region restrictions. Proof:

Even then, a lot of stuff is still not affected in the DSi, but that's irrelevant to you.

That is kinda weird. Guess it was already broken by the time I bought it. Maybe the last owner tried to catch Missingno or something.

Harvey Birdman for PSP. I love the show, and when I heard the game played like Phoenix Wright I was intrigued. The sad thing is though that it's terribly, horribly short, some of the things you have to do to progress are COMPLETELY random, and Lewis Black's performance (and it makes me sad to say this since I like the guy a lot) was laughably forced.

Oh, damn, this is going to be an easy one...

Goddamn Spec Ops (don't remember which one, but it was an old one.)

Gameplay was bad, controls were clunky, game was hilariously short, and there's no motivation to do anything in the game.

It was like Call of Duty if you castrated it. And I don't even like CoD that much (but the Special Operations missions are fun as shit, though.)

Well, the PSP is a handheld console so the games tend to be short unless it's a game like Monster Hunter or Disgaea where the amount of gametime you can squeeze out of a game depends on the player's dedication to the game.
 
And you bought a game for the PSP? :o lol

EDIT: Geez, these smileys are awful. :( I want the old ones backkkk.

handheld games tend to sport shorter individual missions to make them easier to accomplish in a sitting, or saving everywhere, but they can be long enough.

Yes, exactly.
if you liked the more arcadey feel try saints row 2 mission diversity out the wazoo, fun to play, you can do so many different things. it's like San Andreas 2

and I really liked red dead redemption, there's way more to do you can hunt there are random events. if you're not sure i'd highly suggest a rent.

(for example of things to do I was having trouble beating a minigame because this one guy would always beat me. so i pushed him off a cliff. minigame got beat, i got my outfit scrap and all was well.)

I honestly liked that game to be honest.

--

Another game I regret buying...Armored Core 2, its fun at times but half the time you spend most of the time just getting yourself killed, repairing, getting more ammo, etc. The missions like protecting someone, you can accidently run them over, shoot them, or if you don't shoot the rocks in time they blow up.

:/

Most games for the PSP are remakes, so you can't really say that they're shorter than most console games...

Not really... A good majority of PSP games are original. Patapon? What Have I Done to Deserve This My Lord? MGS:PW? Dissidia? Crisis Core?

In fact, I think the top rated games for PSP are original. Also, the argument against me that these games are long can stand, but it depends on how you play the game as well. Just sayin'.
