Level 53 and weaker than a Hellion

Heh heh. Someone threw out "common sense" and "superhero" in the same sentence.

This is a problem that exists in comic writing as well, so why would it be any different in a game based on comic book genres?

As I recall,this has been the plague of every game that ever had levels.

I used to play a lot of DnD...and that was before level 40. You really only had up to level 20...but the most fun content was ealier. Also because when you hit level 20 many DM's were sort of stuggling to keep things interesting, challenging, etc.

I don't think it's different.

I mean when ever you add elements that cause toons to go beyond their normal abilities something needs to be bigger and tougher.

The really wierd thing though is that people complain about original content trivialized since the incarnate system came into play, but then complain when the Devs give them something that is more powerfull than them.

Although I do get the fact that it sounds wrong that a rock takes you out. At least if something was to take you out it should generally be something epic.

Screw the rocks, it's the freaking firebombs that piss me off, since if you get hit by one going through a door, you're dead by the time the door-entering animation finishes.

Ok. Which bright spark gave the civvies Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A? Come on, own up!

They should have just given the civilians energy blast powers when they turned. Then you would all accept it as them gaining powers due to the psychic doo-dads, instead of freaking out over rocks.

It's yet another case of having computer-geeks instead of writer-geeks in charge of the game. It's the bane of the industry - every armchair Tolkein that can write a line of code ends up in charge of a game, even though they have no sense of story, plot or drama. It's the reason you get 2000 jrpgs with the same plot of "16 year old boy save the world from evil overlord" and 2000 FPS's with the plot of "Badarse macho man kills every mother@#$%^er in the room"

If people think the writing in Hollywood is treated as secondary to every other concern, they should see the video game industry, where it's essentially non-existant.
