One thing I forgot to mention.
Difficulty-wise, the normal on DMC3 would seem like Hard on DMC1, but now that I'm on hard, I don't find it to be that difficult. So, it is probably due to the long break between playing a DMC game, and also the fact that most of the missions are longer this time.

Most of the bosses are difficult at the first try, but with practise and patient, they can all be taken down easily.

Most of the demons are equipped with Scythes... and I was sort of bothered by that...
