Just got done with the HD collection, I have an understanding about the original story. What I can say right away is that I'm in love. The series is amazing, and DMC 2 well, I'll just say that there were elements I enjoyed, but overall the game just doesn't live up to 1 and 3 in any way.
DMC 1 was amazing, I loved it's atmosphere, the Gothic elements are amazing, felt like a horror game at times. But I had so much fun with the character of Dante with his awesome one liners and fun personality. The combat is good, but there was a bit of a learning curve for me, but I suppose I'll get better the more I play it, which I definitely will do. I'd say my favourite boss is either Nelo Angelo or Phantom.
DMC 3 is also amazing. The thing is about this game is unlike DMC 1, which a bit more serious, this one cranks the over the top nature to 11 right from the start. Not that that's a bad thing. The combat is much more accessible to me and has a load more variation with style system and a ton more weapons. I mainly stuck to Rebellion and Agni and Rudra. In terms of my favourite boss, I'd say Vergil or Nevan. Although to be honest they are all a ton of fun, apart from the time controlling horse, I died a lot on that one.
So overall I have no idea which one is my favourite, I'll probably figure that out when I replay them on a higher difficulty. But I'd say I'm hooked on this franchise and will try and get to 4 and 5 as soon as I can
