Captain Redfield
The man who killed Albert Wesker
Played DMC1 back in 2004 I believe, it is a pretty good series with top hack n' slash mechanics. I always thought it was a good combination of modern times mixed with the middle ages, like the medieval architecture you see in the castles that greatly alludes us to a Gothic or Romanesque style and later you have urban cities with cars and everyday buildings.
What I mentioned above is also part of the combat since it mixes firearms with swords, another great combination of old and new.
The timeline is a little messy but the series is overall amazing, definitely in my top 5 gaming series and made by Capcom too.
People have issues with DMC2 and that I can understand why, the game feels unfinished at certain parts and the quality is miles below the first one. My biggest gripe with the game is that it barely provides you a challenge, the enemies' attacks are slow and predictable which only leads to very easy battles throughout the game.
My favorite is either DMC3 or DMC4, I really enjoyed DMC5 but there's something about 3 and 4, something about those specific years. I remember me and my friends talking about DMC3 and 4, after we all finished the games we kept talking about them for days or even weeks. Outside of RE, I'd say these two titles in particular marked my teenagehood and I always remember them fondly.
Nero's Devil Bringer mechanics in DMC4 were just so satisfying and stylish with very cool animations. The backtracking with Dante was creative in it's own way, which reminded me a bit of CODE: Veronica with Chris and Claire. I could just feel Capcom's unique touch in that game and that alone already made it a top contender to one of my favorite hack n' slash games. If I remember correctly I have more than 200 hours on DMC4 and 100+ in DMC3.
I was unhappy with the franchise's long hiatus, I thought Capcom gave up on it after 4 years had passed... I never really understood why considering DMC4 was fantastic and with a positive reception among fans and critics. I mean, we had to wait 11 years for a proper DMC4 sequel... Christ.
I'm glad DMC5 brought the series back with the top notch quality of DMC4 (just wished it was a bit longer lol) and that phenomenal gameplay I fondly remember. On top of that, the main characters look so much like their past depictions, they nailed the character modelling for DMC5 and with the same voice actors! As someone who deeply loves character consistency and as a huge Dante and Nero fan I was pleasantly surprised. That made me forgot this is the same company that ruined one of their strongest leads and my favorite character ever lol but I guess we have one specific dev team to blame and not the whole company for it. With a great amount of work and dedication you can always find someone that actually looks like A or B character, this game proves it... That's if you care about consistent quality instead of just putting a character's name out in a cheap excuse to boost sales or fan interest.
Waiting for the next title and let's hope we don't have to wait another 11 years.

My ranking
1) DMC3
Loved the stylish cutscenes and the brother rivalry throughout the game. Very iconic and memorable.
2) DMC1
Best level design and had some really creative twists. Kind of cheesy by today’s standards but love playing through it. It was the closest to a hack n’ slash RE we will get besides Onimusha.
3) DMC4
The game gets repetitive the second half but shares a lot of the stylish action as 3. Nero brought a new twist to the formula and has some of the best music in the franchise.
4) DMC5
While I enjoyed this game, I couldn’t help but feel it relied too heavily on past games successes, rather than stand on its own feet. All the themes in this game feel more like rehashes and the level design is dull, having the player trudge through a giant demon tree through most of it. You also fight Urizen like 4 times! Dante plays the best in this game but I wasn’t a fan of V at all.
5) DmC
This felt more like a grindhouse game with a reimagined Dante. It put a new spin on the formula and did away with a lot of why I liked the series. It felt less edgy and more immature and sloppy. It was average.
6) DMC2
One of the more mind numbing entries and perhaps one of the worst sequels ever in gaming. You can tell it was a half baked mess with no direction.

2nd favourite franchise after Resident Evil. Really glad Itsuno and his team released DMC5 and definitely NOT a sequel to the awful DmC.

Might as well tell my history with this franchise now that I have time:
My 1st DMC game was DMC4. It got me into the franchise in 2008, the date when the game was released. I remember having a ton of fun with that game, especially with Nero.
After spending a ton of time with the game; I eventually got bored and decided to play the previous DMC games.
I played DMC3 first and loved the hell out of that game; it was awesome. Some time after that; I played DMC1. It was kinda clunky compared to DMC3 and DMC4 and it was REALLY challenging but I finished it and enjoyed it. Following this; I played DMC2 and finished Dante's part. It was awful, especially that stupid helicopter; ugh... ( Never played Lucia's part nor that I care. )
I never played DMC2 after that but I replayed other DMC games.
Eventually I learned a new DMC game was going to be released. I was very happy with this until I learned that it was a reboot which completely drained my happiness. Not to mention the game was making fun of the franchise which still pisses me off to this day. I still played the game and found the game even worse than DMC2. Like you had many weapons and a variety with you unlike in DMC2 but most of them weren't really fun to use. If I remember right, only the giant axe felt good; the other weapons felt piss poor. Not to mention weird enemies with weird designs. Only one boss was designed good. The story was extremely atrocious and disrespected the other games in the series, especially DMC3.
Oh and who can forget the game's good voice acting?
Awful, just awful. Similar to DMC2, never touched this game again.
I was really disappointed with Capcom for killing the franchise and left the franchise for some time. Until I saw DMC4 Special Edition trailer. I was really excited, thinking that DMC4's flaws could be fixed...
But unfortunately, that didn't happen. The game was still a half game and it was barely changed; all Capcom did was to add more characters, that was really it. Vergil and Lady felt really fun to use however Trish was really underpowered, she felt like a nerfed Dante. This kinda decreased my positive thoughts about the game and during the replay of DMC games; I started to appreciate DMC1 more than DMC4.
After a very long time, Capcom finally announced DMC5 and my motivation went to incredible levels. After playing and finishing the game; I found the game very awesome and a great love letter to the franchise with great fanservice moments and an awesome story. Nero and Dante felt improved compared to DMC4 as well as V being an interesting take on the franchise. I hope Capcom will make a sequel to it some day.

Am I the only one who thinks this theme is underrated just like the game?
Nero Sparda

Swordmaster > Gunslinger > Royalguard > Quicksilver > Trickster > Doppelganger
Rebellion > Nevan > Beowulf > Agni / Rudra > Cerberus
1. Nero
Feels better designed to the game compared to other characters. He's simple but very effective and bustering demons and bosses in the right time never gets old.
2. Vergil
He's improved from DMC3 for the most part and the motivation gauge that rewards you depending on how flawlessly you play is cool. However his attacks do too much damage even if you aren't motivated and acquiring SSS rank is difficult due to it.
3. Lady
Gunslinger Dante on steroids. Her mechanics are pretty cool and fun to use. Though she gets more repetitive to play compared to Nero and Vergil and lacks variety.
4. Dante
Unpopular opinion but gameplaywise I think DMC4 Dante is a major step down from DMC3 Dante. Sure style switching is nice but his weapons feel really nerfed compared to DMC3 and lack some of the special touch that game has.
( Like in DMC3, when you do a real impact; you can perform a special spinning kick in air. In DMC4; you can't do this and the distortion mechanic isn't as cool as that awesome attack. Or DMC3 Dance Macabre where you can stab the sword to ground and literally spin around it. Meanwhile DMC4 version; where he simply performs more powerful swings and isn't as cool. )
You also can't quite customize your loadout like in DMC3 and instead; are forced to carry all weapons with you. You can't switch weapon places either like what if I want to immediately switch to Lucifer while I'm equipped with Rebellion.
He faces new enemies in the game that Nero doesn't fight ( unless you play on harder difficulties where it becomes more fun to fight those enemies with Nero since he feels better designed to the game compared to Dante. ) and I honestly only liked fighting Blitz. The rest was boring.
Also I wished we could fight Credo as Dante; he was the best boss in the game IMO.
5. Trish
Dante but heavily nerfed. Not to mention her weapons don't feel that unique ( Like they could have given her Nevan and Air Raid so that you could fly in air. ) and she's really underpowered. She also doesn't have a stinger for some reason which is really weird. Oh and why does Pandora's laser form consumes 3 freaking DT bars?
