Duke3d had a story too - the main character cracked jokes all the time during the game and there were cutsceens in it too - but I dont remember anyone calling it a story shooter.But in the end you can of course call it anything you like - its just a matter of taste. For me though few monologues and pretty cutsceens does not a story make in a roleplaying game. I want to roleplay a story - not a monologue or cutsceen (how do you roleplay a cutsceen video?).
Also before you argue read the phrase which started this argument:
Somone claimed that diablo2 has a good story? That sounds like its planescape torment or somthing (the game people usually praise for a good story).
Diablo has a story, and imo it is good and shows potential. Which is simply an opinion. And opinions cannot be argued. But the fact that there is a story there is undeniable. And comparing it to Duke3D, Wolfenstein3D is an unfair exaggeration. There was a lot more effort put into story elements in Diablo(especially Diablo 2) than in those games.
I never said it's like PS:T. Far from it. But it is good and enjoyable. And watching the CG cinematics in Diablo 2 sometimes gave me more feeling and brought more atmosphere to the game than I've experienced in some other rpgs.
