I will give a list of games that have severely pissed me off to the point of throwing a controller. I've never actually had one break, but almost thought it did a few times.
Goldeneye: N64: The jungle & the catwalk levels at the end of the game. I dispised the jungle, because the turret (sp?) guns would be hidden out of nowhere, & they'd alert 20 guards to your area.
The catwalk sucked the most, as thats the level I felt I broke the controller. I would curse the screen, & throw the controller everywhere, because I was chasing the main guy, & of course several guys would randomly pop up between you & him, & it resulted in me always dying. When I finally did beat him, I was so excited that I jammed the controller straight down on the floor, as if I was spiking it.
Madden: I think everyone else has explained my frustration the same. My worst thing was for the original xbox, I used to play every team.. & I'd set it on all-pro & dominate, so I'd set it on all-madden & get my ass beat. I hated that, so I'd try my hardest to play all-madden.. & I'd want a select team to win, so I'd pick that team to play with..
Well, things would be going great throughout the first 3 quarters, then, in the 4th quarter, after about an hour of playing.. it never fails that I'd fumble, or lose an INT, or my Defense would suddenly just give up. The reset button was worn out on Madden, more than anything.. but I'd remember banging my controller repeatedly against the floor many times.
Metal Gear Solid: The original, & the 2nd one. I'd get stuck at selective levels, & it'd piss me off to no end. Especially the sniper-wolf segment from the first one. Once you got hit, it was hard to not continue getting pecked off, trying to take cover. I'd find myself sitting there going "You stupid bitch, AH, just let me fucking get behind this thing.. AH! what the fuck are you doing, AH!"
Final Fantasy Series: Have you ever played a RP game, that you thought you had enough levels on your characters to just be fine.. then you save at a point that you can't fight anymore guys to level up, & its time to do a boss battle? Yeah.. I was screwed for a good month or longer on FF7, & it almost cost me to quit that game entirely.
In the end, I beat it & never went into boss battles again, without KNOWING my levels were secure.. but that game got me worked up a lot.
Also, in FFX, the water-soccer match-up, where you first take control of the team that sucks ass.. & you have to defeat the best team there was?! Such major shit. Its like I had to keep 3 guys back, because 2 of them & the opponent would kick the ball through both of them, & my goalie still couldn't stop the shot. Yet on my team, there was only your guy.. & THAT was only if you took the time to learn the Ject Shot, or whatever it was. I nailed 2-3 of those without the other team scoring going into half.. thankfully I won, by one point.
Wrestlemania 2000: The above guy menioned my exact frustration with his game. The fucking cage match, with the difficulty level being different per each opponent throughout storymode.. it was INSANE! It always happened at Summerslam too, it was always a cage match, & your opponent would ALWAYS reverse EVERYTHING!
It took 6 plus finishers, & my special to be lit & going for me to hit a finish on the guy, then hurry to climb the cage before the special went out.. because THAT was the trick on beating the cage, it seemed.
