Souls games are Action RPGs and shields are not completly necesarry for that type of genre, the Tales of games are a perfect example of Action RPGs that (to my knowledge) have never even had shields.

I never said shields were necessary. However, in the Souls series shields added variety to the classes (different classes equipped different shields.) This is a loss of specialization that was previously present in Souls games, and it was replaced by nothing. Therefore the key element of an RPG (Role-playing) is reduced. I never said Bloodborne wasn't an Action RPG anyway. I said loss of RPG elements (not loss of all RPG elements.) 

and i never said that you said such a thing, heck i didnt even mentioned you... im just saying that because the consensus on the internet about Bloodborne reviews is that the main reason that could affect its scores is that its different from previous entries for not having shields.
