Let me get your logic straight.
We prefer MGR to DmC, because we are butthurt that DmC was made.
On top of that, despite NEITHER of the games being able to hold a candle to their predecessors, MGR, the one that was a great game despite slight rushing, and only was the first step in a spin-off series in the same continuity of MGS. is worse than the game that nerfed the gameplay of a series beloved for it's gameplay. So that the gameplay can fit it's ****ty story?
At least MGR has the excuse of TRYING to hold a candle to the games that came before it. DmC was disappointing BECAUSE IT SACRIFICED GAMEPLAY FOR STORY!
And even if MGR didn't hold a candle to MGS in terms of Boss Battles. MGR's boss battles are WAY MORE FUN THAN DmC's.
So all in all, my opinion of your argument is the following image
