To dig into the issue even deeper, since we are discussing superheroes. There's the regular joe, the superman, and the supra-man. A superman is a human in ideal form. A supra-man is an individual with abilities no human is capable of. So, in standard RPGs, the hero goes from being a regular joe to being a superman, but while most people in the world may not be capable of being supermen, what he achieves is still technically achievable within the boundaries of normal humanity - at least under the logic of that world. Or to put it in more context, the hero goes from being a recruit to a grizzled, steely-eyed combat veteran, but never becomes a demi-god.Aren't RPG's more about taking your average-joe retard and turning him into awesome-o mach 10? Superhero narrative seems to detract from that whole prerogative.
You could say exactly the same thing about Star Trek and spy movies yet it didn't stop Bioware and Obsidion from making ME and AP.
In superhero stories, on the other hand, the hero goes through a transformative rebirth (often a "death" and then rebirth), re-emerging as a demi-god, having powers that no normal human is capable of.
Alpha Protocol. A CYOA shooter with RPG elements. It's kind of the CYOA fans' masturbatory game.What is AP (i assume ME is mass effect which is much closer to action than to RPG to begin with, and story-wise and RPG-gameplay-wise it's p shit anyway.
