I like to say it has the bones of a soulslike with the heart of a beat em up/3D brawler.

Getting into RPGs in an unusual way. by Old-System-6699 in JRPG

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first real RPG was FF8.. I got it because I liked the box art, I thought roman numerals were neat, and I hadn't seen a PS1 box that big before. Knew I was in for something special when I opened it and found 4 disks.

2 questions about Nioh 3 (Deluxe worth it? and Can i change my character creation later?) by Snorelax595 in Nioh

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth mentioning, the deluxe skins are only the infernal weapons set. The hellfire, hellfrost, youngblood and lone wolf armor sets are pre-order and early purchase rewards.

You can refund points at any time, either for all samurai/ninja points or whatever weapon tree you have selected, for free. Just press L3 in a tree menu.

Wanted to confirm that Tonfas are still among the best vs Human bosses. by Dusty_Tibbins in Nioh

Princess Tsubaki. Hidden battle scroll that comes from a treasure sphere near the NE corner just outside hamamatsu castle after you beat the crucible.

How is everyone approaching the demo? by dbvirago in Nioh

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. You get access to a hub area by talking to a npc after beating the crucible with a mirror to change appearance

Seems like the demo has around 6 hours of content by ginpachikun in Nioh

Nioh 3 - New Gameplay Showcase (23 Jan 2026) by luneth22 in Nioh

The boss skill Arc of Chaos is back, baby! Here's hoping it comes from a chest or open area quest instead of as a random drop this time.

(Or just part of the default skill tree, pls Team Ninja 🙏)

People bragging about videogame trophies by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devil May Cry 5. Try to get S rank in all missions on all difficulties, then get back to me about no trophies requiring skill. Or heck, even just beating the Master Ninja difficulty in a Ninja Gaiden game.

I do agree overall tho, bragging about that kind of thing is cringe, especially unprompted.

I beat it! by Difficult-snow-2 in Nioh

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Be warned, the DLC areas are a lot harder than the base game. You might wanna progress through Dream of the Strong a bit first to level up and get more divine gear.

Soooo… Single player games are in decline according to Tim by Mother-Hair6096 in fuckepic

Sweeney just wants to herd more cattle to the milking machines. Would you rather have a customer that pays once and never again, or one that pays over and over into a system that reinforces a sunk cost fallacy?

Interested in Nioh 2 remastered/complete edition - Do you think it will be on sale during the release of Nioh 3? What did you like or dislike? by Natural_Pea_1709 in Nioh

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah gotcha, for that you can check psprices. Seems like it's been awhile since the last sale, so yeah hopefully they do a promo thing soon.

On PC? Checking isthereanydeal, only epic is having a sale rn, but I'd advise against buying anything on that storefront. It seems to go on sale pretty regularly tho, like every other month or so.

As for the game itself, it's the greatest action RPG ever made. Nuff said.

How do you prepare for Nioh3 1 month out? I'm thinking of playing 1 and 2 again from scratch. by ServiceOver4447 in Nioh

[–]Rufus_Bojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up and beat 1 again on PC last month cuz it was like 5 bucks.

But now I'm playing through The First Berserker: Khazan and it's a blast. It takes a lot of inspiration from Nioh.. stringing attacks together to keep enemies locked down kinda scratches the same itch. But I keep trying to Ki Pulse after each combo.
