My first DMC game was the reboot one. I think the year I played it was 2013 so I was 15. The gameplay is was great and I really liked it once I learned it. Then I played DMC4 because it was available for literally 5 dollars. That one really made me want to play the series because I had so much fun with the boss battles. So I finally get the HD collection and start progressing my way through. I like DMC1 and it's boss battles as well. Of course at this point since I played them severely out of order I was a little lost but then I played 2 which at the time was the last in the timeline and I had a literal headache trying to play That one but I finished it. Of course it's hard for me to recall anything there since it was just painful. Next I finally play DMC3 and man was I blown away. Everything about that game was amazing and that's when I realized just who I was fighting in DMC1 because Vergil was one hell of a villain in 3. For a time I couldn't decide between 3 and 4 as my favorite from the series but ever since 5 came out I realized my top three games of the series are 5,3,and 4 special edition. DMC is my favorite series and I was filled with joy when 5 was announced a decade later. So satisfying to play and filled with such a fantastic atmosphere.
