You've made an absolute wrong choice, you missed out on possibly the two of the best characters in the series, Mine and Rikiya. You also skipped on of the best plot in the entire series (pacing's not really good in the first 6 chapters but the rest is spectacular). You also missed out some of the best QTEs in the series (Lau Ka Long's and Kanda's dry humping lol). Don't let the people that hasn't even played through a chapter of this game tell you it's terrible. It might be the worst in terms of combat but excels in every other department.

watch some no damages and shit to see how to properly play. the game is actually really fun if you know what you're doing

Fortunately for me, Yakuza 3 on PS3 was my first Yakuza game and I enjoyed the game's story and combat. I bought the game when it was first released in the USA. I didn't know it was considered a "bad" game until recently.
