Giant Bomb 18: Everything is always a surprise on some level

From everything I've heard (Don't know personally as I played online prior to them ruining FOBs), there is a cap on offline resources and the rest are 'stored' online. There is no way to avoid that. Maybe you never hit it, but many players have and complained.
Maybe it's misinformation, but I've heard it happening to enough people that I'm inclined to believe it.
As far as I know there was always a cap on gmp from the start, I have not noticed it changing.
From what I understand the game takes stuff away from you if you go offline during a game after having been online where you already have a fob.
If you select decline from the game startup you should be good.
There is no way for the game to store resources online if you have no fob online to store the resources in, kinda makes sense doesn't it?
In that case, it's still a shit move that makes the game worse. FOBs allow you to progress in SP faster and taking that progress away from players that want to avoid the crap Konami has thrown in sucks and it's absolutely a worthy complaint. The game is still awesome, but it sucks what's happened to it.
It's gotta be "Giant Bomb #19 | We fucking made you, Gerstmann!".

Goddamn.
I don't know about resources, but since there's a limited amount of room for personnel on your base that can from a certain point only be increased with FOBs it's going to be a lot easier to reach high levels for R&D etc.. Not sure if it's actually impossible to research the highest level stuff without any FOBs.
Well that sucks. What am I supposed to do on a Friday evening without Giant Bomb content to watch?
Sure there is. Cheat engine the fuck out of that bullshit and get what you need immediately without the grinding nonsense.
That's the answer on PC of course. FOB is ruined on PC by cheaters since the beginning so no use trying to engage with it at all. The fact they are asking for tons of microtransaction money on PC and won't do the base amount of work to keep cheaters in check is gross as hell.
I think there is value in the development lock-offs and time because it keeps a progression going, but Konami clearly doesn't care about that balance anyway.
just click the chat button on the right side of the page to hide chat. no need for them to disable it for you.

Is this the last GB live stream of the year or just the last from GB West?
Because I totally hope East gets a LiS steam in before the break.

On the Beastcast, they mentioned this is their last week in the office. Don't expect LiS before the end of the year.
It's the last one for the year. They are all on holiday after today.

Huh, This Year doesn't have the Best of the Bombcast 2015 on the schedule.

Really? I thought they were talking about there being a Bombcast next week
They've never missed a Tuesday. They might have to do a Skype together from each of their homes. They've done that on Holiday previously.

It's the best RPG I've ever played.
Also, now that I'm reading up on it. I definitely got the ending I wanted. Felt pitch perfect.
Do the DLC yet?

The Witcher 3 has an ending?

Merry Witchmas. As someone who has played about 10 hrs of witcher 1 about a month ago and enjoyed that, but then started playing other more recent things (like fallout: New Vegas and undertale) where does the witcher series rank on a backlog scale of 1-10? Should I go back witching before or after new vegas?

Nope, gonna start it after Christmas. But I've done basically every sidequest in the base game short of the horse races.
I get what people were saying about how the story gets awesome right after where he's at, but it's funny in retrospect that people were saying he was "near the end of the game." I played for like another 20 hours past that point before everything finished up. Considering he was bored of the game at that point I don't think it would have been worth it for him to push through.
It doesn't have to take you 20 hours after doing that, it just happened to be the case for you. Also for some people the story can carry a lot. There is a lot of good stuff that happens immediately after the point where he was at.

The DLC is a damn delight. You are in for a treat.
Oh god, I forgot about that.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
GB's most watched Youtube videos are fascinating. I wonder how some of them came to be. 800.000 views for the A-10C Warhog DCS video for example. Why? Is it cause a bunch of A-10C fans typed it into Youtube and that came up? Or is it just a popular video? One would think an hour long video about a hardcore flight simulator is not necessarily Youtube material, right?
Where's that from?

Ha, I remember that.
Yeah, if I had a vote in this, it has to be this. It's too perfect

Any clue as to when the Devil's Third quicklook is going to hit? Only interested in seeing it after they talked about on the Beastcast today.

My playtime counter kept getting reset as I transferred my save around, but I've have to imagine it was around 80-100 hours. I've been playing the thing since July!

They scrapped the Quick Look in favour of doing a full Endurance Run through the game. It's not under the Endurance Run name, though, but an entirely new format called "Delight Club".
Not really, they didn't say when.
good idea, I also hope Game Grumps plays it too.
Yeah, that was funny. And, once again, it seems that the general opinion has settled somewhere closer to Jeff's view and quite some ways off from prelaunch forum hypetrains. Funny how that works.

Jeff's DoubleHeader level and Stank's levels are some of the most fun levels I've played in Mario Maker.

If any of you duders are into some good ol' puzzle games, definitely check out The Talos Principle. I picked it up for $20 during this PSN sale and already put something like 8 hours in the past day, which I rarely do. I had watched the PC QL a while back and thought it looked cool and it is absolutely great. It teeters the line of "wait, did I cheese that?" (you didn't) and "I'm an idiot, nope, I'm actually a genius" (you're probably still an idiot) incredibly well. The environment are beautiful, the story is interesting, and it's properly logic driven so it feels entirely fair. I like it.
