When you boot up the game, in the main menu look in the upper right hand corner if it just shows 3 dots hit start, it will than show your level and your level title, normally in your level title it has some sort of cool name, for example

Worlds greatest hero

( not a actual title using a made up one for a example)

If there are no words and just a white circle that’s spinning over and over again, close the game

Also if you ever boot up the game and it is showing your level and info correctly. hit start just in case and make sure it stays that way when going back to the main screen and it doesn’t switch to three dots, if it does switch to three dots close the game

Going into a big loading screen like clicking arcade, story or going into online matches basically causes the game to panic and it just picks a level at random or resets you completely

Basically every time you boot up the game make sure to click start and do that check

At most I’ve only had to close the game twice to fix it, the glitch doesn’t happen that often, with the game not showing my info correctly only twice in one week. of course that fact doesn’t matter if you don’t notice it and all it takes is one time to lose everything. It’s a major issue that needs to be fixed

This fix might not be 100% percent accurate admittedly, but it has currently stopped me from losing any progress while doing the process since release

Injustice 2 had this exact same glitch at launch back in the day when it came to losing progress and funny enough this was the same process you had to do for that game too

Hope this helps

So I have 2 posts up and they aren’t under my profile tab. I read the common issues are it being removed by a moderator or spam filter

Weird thing is I’ve talked to people in the comments in those posts and they are still gaining views and replies

I would like to be able to quickly get back to them as they are a tutorial/ help posts

I tried logging out deleting the app and even signing in on the website and they still don’t appear. They also aren’t hidden

Does anyone know what the issue is

Update: this post isn’t showing up under my profile either

The series uses volumes that contain 5 issues and the classic omnibus format

For anyone about to purchase book 1 and 2 which serve as omnibuses

Book 1 contains 1-15

Book 2 contains 21-35

You may have noticed the issue there, you need volume 4 which includes 16-20

I’m guessing they did that because 16-20 could be considered a prequel. But honestly there is so much important information in these issues I would consider them a necessary read. Mainly because they add a large amount of context to how the world works and the MCS backstory

So reading order for first 35 issues and than the rest of the series

Book one

Volume 4

Book 2 ( you get to issue 35 here

Than volumes 8-9

After that the rest of the volumes go by 5, with the last being volume 9 that holds issues 41-45 or you can hold out until they make book 3, but that might be a while as volume 11 is still set to come out later this year. But personally that’s what I’m doing, I love having a big chunk and a good hard cover

For anyone who got curious by the name and solely clicked for that purpose

I would describe the series as a more horror focused Buffy the vampire slayer with a great main character. The name is not just to grab your attention. The series is brutal but done well. I highly recommend it especially if you are a horror fan or a hellboy fan and can stomach gore

My iPhone can’t be backed up, but things are still being added to the cloud

If I get a new phone will I be able to download what I need from the cloud If they are synced? Will it automatically add everything that’s in my iCloud to my new phone after logging into my apple account, after set up or do I have to manually click one thing at a time

From what I read it says it automatically transfers everything in the iCloud upon signing in during set up, I would be grateful if anyone can confirm this is true

Update: staying true to criticism, I made an error in writing as the comics cannot be read. Ignore that point I left it in as to not cover up my mistake

This rant is lengthy, if you decide to read thanks. Even if you read bits and pieces I’m grateful. However if you decide to have a civil conversation or share criticisms while being respectful. I ask you read the whole thing as you can’t have a conversation unless you have all the information, thank you

So there are a few critiques that doesn’t make any sense to me, because this game matches other FG games content on release and has a more legitimate progression system

People are criticizing invincible vs for having a lack of single player content, why it has the exact same amount of content

Street fighter 6 on release arcade mode, story mode

Tekken 8 on release arcade mode and story mode which is cutscene heavy

MK series cutscene heavy for story also

Now here is the big difference unlockables and how you unlock them

Invincible vs has no currency system, you play and you are constantly unlocking things, concept art, profile logos,backgrounds, 8 full comics you can read and character colors

Street fighter 6,s unlock system, drive tickets and character colors, in street fighter 6 you start with 2 colors for each character. To get a color you need 1K drive tickets. How do you get these, not by playing but by daily challenges. Meaning once you complete a daily challenge you have to wait two days or more. The fact you are continuing to play past that and putting in effort and you care about the game doesn’t matter

Each character has 8+ colors so thats 8K for each character ,locked not behind effort but time, you are not getting rewarded for effort, as somebody who has gotten every color in sf6 it can take months

Tekken 8 has coins which builds at an extremely low rate to get a single item, many of which are reused items from 7. Tekken 8 has a second currency you can’t legitimately earn and the unlocks that have way more effort put into them are tied to this currency

How does invincible vs work you just have to play, that’s it,

It’s not a tedious grind either it takes 4 hours tops to get a character to max and given it’s a team game you are leveling up 3 characters at the same time. I got 10 hours and have 6 characters at max level. That’s with me playing the whole cast and not focusing on grinding specific characters and if you want to grind a specific character. You can still make it fun by swapping out the other two spots on the team or you can grind 2 characters and swap out the 3rd either works for variety

There are 360 + unlockables from music, profile customization, concept art, comics and 5 colors

Than there is your profile level which is separate from characters that levels up just by playing in general which gets you more unlockables

There are also things you unlock with legitimate challenges, you know the classic thing of having to do something difficult for a reward. That so many people say they miss

Than there is the critic of the price 50$, that’s 20$ below average and once again the same amount of content

Tekken, street fighter and all of these other games are charging you more and than not rewarding you for playing their game and being a fan by tossing digital currency in your face

Realistically a 30$ point would not work for invincible

Quarters up with a budget of under 20M$, implemented cross play with a decent online and a fully voice acted story mode with that budget. Yes they had to sacrifice looking pretty.

Mk1, Tekken 8 and street fighter 6 had 30+ million dollar budgets with more tools to work with and profited much more. To give you the exact amount of content invincible has with none of the things to work for or unlock that invincible has.

MK1 didn’t get crossplay until 3 months after release and the characters movesets weren’t complete until near the end of its lifespan, with most characters getting more special moves. Releasing a fighting game with characters movesets not done is mind boggling. Guilty gear strive is also guilty of this

So why is invincible getting criticized more when it has the exact same single player content and a more legitimate way to earn things compared to the main stream games

Cold hard truth is it’s because you’re used to it, because it’s what they have been doing for years and you know they are going to, so it doesn’t surprise you. These are series that you loved and you hate to see what’s happened to them. Those happy memories and nostalgia from the past can make it harder to criticize something, that’s understandable and fair. But part of you even if you don’t want to admit it knows it’s gotten worse so when you see it somewhere else it pisses you off and you take out your anger on something you have no emotional connection to.

Players that are new to these popular series assume that’s how the gameplay has always been and that’s totally fine. But I also know new players that went back to the older games and were surprised by the drastic amount of changes and enjoyed them also

My point isn’t that you can’t like these new games it’s that the criticism isn’t fair

The one mistake I agree invincible did was overpriced costumes

But once again, MK1 SF6 and Tekken 8 all have overpriced costumes and cosmetics, they didn’t get anywhere near close to being shit on for that reason than invincible is

All these other games are 70$ with the same amount of content and are throwing scummy progression systems in your face

Invincible has a 50$ price tag with a fair progression system and frankly more things to unlock are they costumes no

But there is this hyper fixation with cosmetics that half the time could be earned and a reward for playing single player but aren’t. MK11 showed very clearly you can do that when your willing to invest more money

Street fighter v costume prices were fair at 4$ each. You could also buy a pass for 20$ that unlocked everything for a set amount of time up to a year. Lastly you could actually earn currency and unlock some costumes

Both these companies were fair until they got greedy

Both netherrealm and capcom have the money and are able to do this

quarter up doesn’t have that amount of money and their publisher skybound doesn’t have a lot to give their biggest success being tell tales the walking dead with all their other projects being board games,comics or very small indie games

People are starting to care more about physical cosmetics than gameplay or just a fair progression system that rewards you with unlocking things and giving you a reason to play single player

It seems many consider the only unlock that’s worth anything is costumes

Not concept art that shows how the game was made or possible character designs, music you can listen to, full comics you can read, none of that matters just coustumes

The one thing I will shit on the game for if it happens is there is already a thing that says season 0 meaning they are probably planning to implement a battle pass if it costs money that would be shitty

But once again SF6 and other fighters have paid season passes and no one said anything when they did it, so it would be hypocritical if invincible got criticized heavier than those titles

I’m all for criticism, but it needs to be fair and equal, If it isn’t smaller companies will die. They can’t afford to lose money especially in the beginning of their career.

If criticism isn’t fair you’re not going to see more companies which means you won’t see more IP,s or more series

Everything will be from, Bandai NR and capcom, like other products it will essentially become a monopoly with just these 3 companies in the business

Just like so many other products that already exist, if you want to see more series and more companies in the business, judgment needs to be fair or you can just have, street fighter, Tekken and MK or you can wait up to 15 years and get 4 games

For instance skull girls, the killer instinct reboot, injustice and them fighting herds

That’s the reality

Thanks if you read and thanks if you only read bits and pieces

Baseball rules

This guide breaks down all rules section by section, from general rules, number differences, buffs and pitcher/ batter differences.

I highly recommend not reading this guide by itself, but following along while playing and having it in front of you to have a visual

There is a baseball mini game to keep things simple there are two rounds batting and pitching. Each round has 5 turns

You will always bat first, then in the second round you will switch, with the computer now batting and you pitching

The batter has to move 4 spaces to score, spaces 1-3 are known as

first base, second base, third base with the 4th space needing to score is called HOME

If there are batters on bases and the 5th turn is over, they walk off the board automatically ending the round

GENERAL RULES

in both rounds you get 5 cards, also in both rounds on any turn you get two discards, where you can throw a card away to get a chance at getting a different card that is in your deck

each card will have a white number and a black one. You want your white number to be larger than the computers to win.

If both the batter and the pitchers white number ties a coin is flipped and it’s a 50 percent chance on who wins

As a batter if your white number is bigger you get on the board by hitting the ball

As a pitcher if your white number is bigger the batter misses the ball and doesn’t get on the board

However as a batter if you get a card on the board and then fail to hit the ball in the next turn. Your cards that made it on the board will still move, but the card that just lost by not hitting the ball, won’t be added to the board.

This is Where things get interesting is with the black number

BLACK NUMBER FOR BATTING,

this determines how many bases you will run after hitting the ball for example

A batter card with a Black 3 runs to third base , a batter card with a black 1 runs to first base

Once you get a batter on a base, they will run that same number of spaces if you hit another ball successfully with another batter card or even if you lose with the next batter card, on any other of the five turns for that round for example

If a batters black number is a 2 and they are on second base and you hit another ball with another batter card or miss

they will run another two bases. Meaning you can score in two turns. Because that card just moved 4 spaces and made it to home. Here comes the biggest mechanic

BLACK NUMBERS COUNTERING EACH OTHER

The pitchers black number counters the batters that made it on the board and lowers the spaces they can move or stops them from moving completely.

As mentioned earlier if a batter is on second with a black number of two, he will run home scoring you a point. however if a pitcher has a black number of 1 that lowers the batters black number on second. meaning he will now only run to third and you won’t score in two turns, because the number of spaces he could move just got lowered

Think of it as subtraction 2 - 1

This also applies to all other cards you have on the board. If you have another card on the board with a black number of three, he will move two spaces.

All cards that are able will run at the same time, if you just hit a ball or missed, unless one is completely countered. Which brings us to counters

COUNTERS

If the pitchers black number is the same or higher than any batter cards black number on the board, That batter card remains stuck in place and won’t move on the board

Any other batter card on the board that isn’t completely countered will still run the spaces they are able to

For instance if there are three batter cards on the board with these following black numbers 2,2,3

If the pitcher has a black number of two, the batter with the black number 3 will move one space, while the two other cards won’t move on the board

Once again think of it as addition and subtraction

The pitcher cant completely counter a batter that just hit the ball. The batter will always go to first base

If a batter card that just hit the ball has a black number of 2 and the pitcher has a black number of 3, you still hit the ball but you will only move 1 space

Your chance to score is only over after 5 turns

Once again your cards on the board can’t be removed only held in place

Only your batter can lose if their white number is lower or if your white number ties and you lose the 50% chance coin flip. Than that card won’t make it to the board

BUFF CARDS

A white buff card raises your hitter level strength or pitchers strength increasing your chance of winning

A black buff card for batters will temporarily raise how many bases they can run for that round if they just hit the ball. They lose the buff once they make it home and score a point. They can show up in your hand again in the same round. But their stats will be back to their starting stats

It will not buff batter cards that are already on the board. They will move the same number of spaces

So if a batter has a starting black number of 1 and you buff it to 2, they will instantly run to second base if they just hit the ball

The black buff cards always have the same purpose for pitchers and that’s stopping other cards from moving

Sadly sometimes you won’t be able to stop a card from moving if you don’t have a card that counters a card on the board.

You have two choices

Use a discard

Prioritize Stoping a card that’s closer from scoring for example

Stopping a card on third from moving to the last space and letting the card on first get to second

Remember you just want those 5 turns to go by without letting the computer score, once the last turn is over all the cards are removed.

So sometimes letting another card move to get closer to that 5th found is necessary

A good strategy I recommend is, if the computer has a card on third in the 5th turn , is to buff the hell out of your pitcher to guarantee the batter misses.

For instance buffing your pitchers white number from 8 to 10

SIMPLE WAY TO REMBER HOW BLACK NUMBERS WORK

Just think of it as addition and subtraction

HOME RUNS

You get a home run while batting if your white number is much higher than the pitcher. You can greatly increase your chance of getting a home run if you buff a card that already starts with a high white number.

I highly recommend buffing if a card if it starts at 7-9 range

When you get a home run If there is no one on bases you will get 1 point

However if there are already other cards on the board they will instantly make it home. Meaning you can get up to 4 points instantly with a home run while batting.

However I recommend just going for two points when possible. You are honestly very likely to win the match with just 3 points, If you have good pitchers. Once you learn the game you can very easily win with just 1 point

3 SMALL DETAILS

some cards don’t have black numbers, this can be good if your hitting and have a black number of 3 and the computer just played a card with no black number, you will instantly move to third base

If both white numbers tie it’s a coin toss and you have a 50% chance where you can win or lose

If you see the computer play 1 card they very likely have a low white number. Sometimes you can get unlucky and it will have a 8-9. This doesn’t happen very often. If the cpu plays 2 cards it’s most likely a high number. Very few times will the computer go for a fake out. however sometimes the computer will buff a card that starts at 4-5. This does not happen often

That pretty much sums it up once you get the difference between black and white it pretty much just becomes simple addition and subtraction as well as knowing when to discard if you think a good card is coming up

Hope this helped

Trophy types

Collectibles, mission specific, combat challenges, mini game that earns you a hidden weapon, weapon upgrades, side quests, a very important thing to know + money tip

So there are multiple collectible types

Comics, newspapers, baseball cards, schematics, clues

Comics, newspapers and baseball cards are the only collectibles that can be bought if missed to an extent until close to the end of the game. There are two points of no return. One where you lose the hub world and after the second there is absolutely no going back

To keep things spoiler free you will be prompted to go to sleep. This is the 1st point of no return and after this you won’t be able to shop in the hub world. You can still buy collectibles and other items at the roadhouses on the map.

Your last chance to buy collectibles is after the mission, the house of the empty mouse, because you will not be able to go to another road house after starting the next main mission. This is the second point of no return. But honestly I recommend following a guide for the last few missions, after the 1st point of no return, there aren’t that many collectibles left.

Schematics are used to upgrade weapons these are missable, there are plenty throughout the game you need to get at least 72, there are over 90. If you don’t get 72 by the end of the game you have missed this trophy

Clues, these are pinned to a board in jacks apartment most of these are scripted to continue the story, however there are some extras that can be missed, I recommend a guide

Also don’t worry if you start another case on the board you will get another clue for the earlier ones later

For instance you don’t get the last clue for the first case until near the end of the game

MISSION SPECIFIC

There are two of these

Herr flick of the wrist: for this one at some point in the story upon returning to the hub world, Jack will be annoyed at a new character yelling on the sidewalk. Walk up to this character and there will be a short interaction. A trophy will pop and the character will run off

Quints delight: this is in an actual mission, there will be a hanging fish. Kicking it will pop the trophy

I honestly recommend just watching a video on both of these nothing really gets spoiled

COMBAT CHALLENGES

these are pretty self explanatory just grind for them throughout the game, plenty of good guides for these

MINI GAME

You will have to win the mini game 30 times for every trophy tied to it or 20 just for the hidden weapon. This will be a problem for a first run platinum because of money, which I will describe at the end of the guide

This is its own whole thing, I recommend watching a tutorial. I also have my own text guide in progress

WEAPON UPGRADES

To fully upgrade the last gun in the game you won’t be able to do it in the hub world. You will have to use one of the upgrade shops on the map by driving to it in your car, Known as the road house. Keep an eye out for those schematics. There are also multiple roadhouses on the map. There will also be B.A.N.G suitcases in the last few main missions, this allows you to upgrade guns during them.

SIDE QUESTS

Biggest thing to keep in mind, you should go back to the hub world by car after each main mission. Doing multiple main missions in a row can skip a side quest

After finishing a level you can get side quests by talking to NPCS in the hub world. The NPCS will have a symbol above their head. However it’s pretty easy to remember them as there are only a few you actually talk to. Also check your objectives upon returning to the hub world as an optional conversation might be listed. Doing another objective first in the hub world might get rid of the conversation

If it’s optional to talk to someone in the hub world as an objective make sure you do. If it’s optional to ignore someone, do not ignore them

Keep in mind some conversations don’t start until you pin clues. Meaning you should run through the hub world twice. These side quests consist of additional objectives in the next main mission

There are a few main missions where you can start side quests in the middle of a main mission.

I recommend watching jun guides video, both how to start side quests and how to complete them are shown

I recommend following their guide exactly, simply because the order of side quests can change depending on what main mission you do first

Or simply follow my rule of running through the hub twice each time you visit if you want more freedom when it comes to main mission order. I still recommend the video for the side quests hidden in the middle of main missions.

There are 14 side quests

MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW

I mentioned earlier you can buy collectibles, however there is a very important detail to keep in mind

There are a few base ball cards that can only be bought from the store that cost a total of 6K$. Making buying these cards almost impossible if you have been buying missed collectibles. It becomes even more difficult if you did the mini game trophy first given it costs a total of 1.5k$ at the least if you win first try every time. However keep in mind you can still buy collectibles when not in the hub world. You can buy collectibles at roadhouses, this is extremely helpful especially if you passed the 1st point of no return.

However keep in mind you cannot buy collectibles if you continue the story after the main mission, the house of the empty mouse, because you can’t go to another roadhouse. This is your second and last point of no return

Meaning you have two options for the platinum. using a guide to get every collectible to save money and then making a save at the 1st point of no return.

Than buy every card to pop the trophy, than load the manual save to win the mini game 30 times for both the hidden gun for the all gun trophy and to be able to fully upgrade every gun

Or do two playthroughs enjoying the game on the first run, only needing to buy the collectibles you missed. enjoying the mini game and side quests. Only needing to use a guide for the last few missions

And just using a guide specifically for the baseball cards on playthrough 2, not needing to collect or buy the other collectibles and you will have plenty of money for those few baseball cards

Honestly the game is fun I recommend both replaying the story and side quests a second time. The game is worth it

MONEY TIP

On the mission shrewd,shrews/ deep depths, same mission, every main mission has both a name and the name of the area
