I crave endless procedurally generated dungeons

[Traveler]

Imagine the PvE/PvP potential. Please, I need it. Where do I go to beg FromSoft for this?

To the Playstation store to buy a copy of Bloodborne. Like, actually.

(Chalice Dungeons)

This, if you can play games at 30 fps that is. Personally I couldn't

You get used to it, since there's something of a cinematic quality to what's happening on-screen. Helps if you've got a PS4 pro or PS5. Criminal that Sony won't give us a PC port.

Not necessarily. He only wants to know where to direct said begging.

Aww... imo it's worth it just for the co-op.

Procgen isn't for everyone, but I personally have nothing against it. I enjoyed chalice dungeons in Bloodborne.

That's what the Chalice dungeons on bloodborne was and it was...kinda meh. As it turns out, yes purposefully game design is still better than randomly generated stuff with no regards for balance (and a giant flaming doggo that doesn't telegraph half its attacks.)

As one who has replayed FS content more than "normal" the inclusion of Chalice Dungeons was a step in the right direction, but alongside such a gameplay mechanic needs to be more abundant and meaningful loot - something I feel is not facilitated by the gear system of these games, to the same extent as Diablo-likes such as Nioh.

I think ER already has more potential than BB when it comes to RNG dungeon loot. There's all kinds of consumables and talismans they could play with when it comes to unique effects/cursed versions and whatnot. Could mix and match effects, give them cursed versions where effects are made significantly stronger in one area with a crippling drawback in another - both with consumables and talismans. They could even add a way to earn paints to customize armor colors or something. Lots of rewards they could do with ER.

This is where I'd consider the rest of the game and how this would impact its balance, as a dabbler of modding/mod playing - I feel this would make for an incredible, custom, user-crafted experience over a FS implemented one.

The credit for such creativity in terms of mechanics which detract from the primary action/gameplay loop has historically and empirically gone to the modding community of Souls games. If not for the Boss Rush mod, Sekiro would likely not have the Remembrance feature, as a small example. The moment Miyazaki decides to play his own games, and then tries the enemy randomizer mod in any of them, will be a glorious day indeed.

I have a PS5 but I just couldn't. I got too used to 60 fps and above, felt too uncomfortable to play for me.

It really needs a remaster at the very least. Something is definitely wrong if they haven't announced one yet, especially when they did it for demon souls already. Maybe the code is messed up or lost.
