What order to play the Yakuza games in?

I played the whole series back to back and the only time I felt burnt out was in the middle of 5 because it meanders so much. Aside from that I loved the continuity of playing them one after another, and each game changed things up just enough to keep it from feeling too repetitive.

Yeah I enjoyed them all but 5 is probably my least favorite in terms of pacing. Good god does the middle of the game kill your drive.
