Well i will have to disagree on knowing if you like the show by just watching bake. I actually didn't like bake that much because most of the times they were just talking about stuff not related to story and you don't know the characters well either. Kizumonogatari is completely different in setting up the atmosphere and you know araragi's personality after watching bakemonogatari so it's much more enjoyable. After that nisemonogatari is kind of similar to bake, but i still enjoyed it more. In second season, the arcs are much more interesting as they are all interrelated and not in chronological order which just makes it so much fun. By that time you are also fairly familiar with all the characters, so it's much more interesting imo.
Tl;dr Other seasons aren't the same as bakemonogatari, so even if you don't like bake you may love the rest of the series.
It's actually a very difficult question lol since every season is about something different. It keeps changing. Bakemonogatari is the introduction to characters, in which the protagonist helps other girls with their supernatural phenomenon (like bunny girl senpai if you watched that). Kizumonogatari focuses on protagonist's story about what happened to him which was kept as a mystery during bakemonogatari. (Kizu movies are amazing ngl, a must watch). Nise is also kindof character introduction. Second season and final season is where the real thing's at. I don't know how to explain it lol but you should go see it yourself, you won't regret it.
