I just want to shout out Y3 because after playing all the games before and after, it was a nice change of pace in a lot of ways. The story is a bit muddled (even by Yakuza standards) but I enjoyed the characters. I respect the hell out of a bold choice to make a big chunk of the game just hanging out with your kids at the orphanage. No one takes risks like that anymore.
But if you're mostly looking for the humor, yeah you might want to skip Y3. I think there are some great scenes in it, but I enjoyed it for being so different. It probably is the worst of the franchise, but I don't think someone should skip it. I think it was also the shortest in the franchise. At least personally I knocked it out over a long weekend.
