I enjoyed Diablo 2 (hated the original), but why people call it an RPG is beyond me. It barely even has a story, let alone actual role playing.

Hey shio, I see about ten spell buttons in that GIF you just posted. Looks like they are borrowing a little from WoW. I did find that the two-button gameplay of 2 wore a little thin after a while.

It is an RPG. Even WRPGs are limited in actual roleplaying. Diablo is indeed an RPG....an action-RPG to be specific

 

 

Your assertions aren't enough to convince me. There's a vast difference between limited role playing and no roleplaying whatsoever. I let it slide for JRPGs because they at least tend to be story-driven, even if there's rarely any decision making on the part of the player.

The 'story' in Diablo 2 was more of an obstruction than an enhancement. STFU Deckard, I'm only talking to you because it's required before I go to the next zone. Oh, and identify this crap I picked up, will you chum? Stop raving you stupid boss, I have to burn through your mountain of health before you hit me three times in a row.

Diablo is a gameplay driven game, not story driven like JRPGs are
