Yakuza 3 has to be my least favorite out of the series. It's a good game in all, but it was mostly just slice of life with a tiny bit of drama(Until the end).
Don't get me wrong, the substories and other mini games are great, its just that the story didn't get good until about the end point of the game. I won't say it is HORRENDOUSLY BAD, it's just bad in terms of storyline wise for the game.
