It is funny, I hear more praise about DmC from more "neutral" fans (players who maybe didn't play the first few, or who are were doing a first-time series playthrough for a retrospective, etc), which I think was sort of the intent of DmC anyway. And from what I understand, I'd probably actually like DmC, too. But I also really enjoy longform storytelling and rich video game universes. Something that is really appealing about the DMC proper games. But it's good to hear series vets liking it, too. And yeah, from what I've looked into so far, DMC3 seems to be the GOAT status of the series.
I'll probably end up buying all 6. Definitely at least the main 5. Thanks for everyone's input. The main concern is just when/where would they fit into my backlog.
I have a nice plan and list for what to play in what order, but I keep thinking of these other/older games/franchises that I never really played and now want to lol (particularly the DMC series, the Castlevania series, and Dragon's Dogma).
