Except in cases where you need to control your movement speed. Like in a
stealth game or something.
I see your point, but there are ways to emulate paddle for this purpose with sufficient fidelity. Splinter Cell series uses mouse wheel as a kind of "throttle". Works fine in my opinion.
However, I'm not convinced this kind of resolution is really useful in a stealth game. It didn't add much to Pandora Tomorow, anyway. Much depends on actual game design, but I don't think having more than three speeds in TDP or TMA would make a significant difference.
In general, gamepad is superior in games where your controls are "fuzzy", that is: you need a good freedom of movement, but you don't need much precision. Driving games are a good example. One-on-one fighting games, too, although I think this kind of gameplay is doable with m&kb. Unfortunately, FPP games are all about precision, because you often use camera movement to point at things (whether to use them or shoot them).

For the record, 3rd person works much more smoothly than 1st person in TDS, but this is simply because in 1st person the player's head and legs operate independently, and the player only gets to control the head.
This is only due to bad design of player movement. To me, the confusion from looking at everything from "outside" was much worse than occasional fall from a narrow beam. This really does amount to "depends on your perception".

Please, kindly, shut the hell up.
I am just tired of seeing your constant bitching. As I'd rather not IL you, I'm asking. Please, grow a sense of perspective. You are being ridiculous. It's done. The game was made. It's in the past. Move the hell on.

I can't believe someone could get so traumatized by a video game that several freakin' years after its release, they still can't get over the disappointment. Move on with your life, seriously

You have a right of expressing your opinions but willing to bash and attack a game in every single thread about it is borderline trolling.
After taking a moment or two to really think it over, I have come to a decision. As of this thread, I vow to never overtly "bash" TDS again until I've had the chance to play it again. I played it once back when it came out and that's it. Sorry Sola, I really do respect your writings.
