So, demon dude Sparda rebelled against evil king devil Mundus and sealed off the underworld 2,000 years ago. He got himself a nice lady and then they married. They got twin little dudes, Vergil and Dante. It is implied sometime after Sparda kicked the bucket since he was mortal now, and left his wife and children alone. Some demons killed Eva (the wife dudette) and Vergil and Dante went their separate ways. Vergil embracing his demon nature and training to polish his skills as to obtain absolute power and never let any loved one be killed again. Dante just pretty much set up a shop and kills demons now and then.

First game is cool and all. Has aged rather well, but don't expect to much action from it. You have to push the boundaries on that regard, but that don't mean the game ain't fun. It still is and has the best atmosphere of the series.

Second game is dull af. It tried to be more open world but failed. The levels are huge and when you punch an enemy you sent him flying off the screen and the momentum of the combat simply breaks.

DMC3 is the best out there in terms of both combath and level design. Has the best main antagonist in the series and his boss battles are fucking fun as fucking fun fuck. It introduced the fighting style system.

DMC4 ditches Dante for Nero, who at fist seems like a whiny faggot, but overtime you learn to like him. Plus, his Devil Bringer is glorious. His combos are limited compared to Dante, but at least he has a great flow and the mechanics follow suit on DMC3. Oh, and Dante can now switch between Styles on the fly, which makes him the most fun character to play.

DmC. Yeah, we don't talk about this one.

Not OP but is it recommended to skip to DMC3? Would I be missing anything important or memorable? Would I know what the fuck is happening?

DMC3 is chronologically the first in the series.

So it can be a perfect place to start.

I actually have the full collection sitting on my shelf. I've been avoiding it in favor of the same tired shit I always play.

1 is the best designed. Everything is awesome just that the combat isnt as in depth as 3 or 4.

3 is the best in the series cause the combat is stepped up and everything else is toptier

4 has best combat, but is a shit game

No play 1>3>4. 1 is a phenomenal game, but it's combat system isn't as in depth as later entries

Hop to it anon. DMC3 special edition (or in HD collection) offers you two modes. Gold or Yellow. One mode has levels include checkpoints when you die, the other makes it so if you die it's back to the start of the level unless you have a gold orb which will function as a checkpoint.
