I've got the boat glitch too.
Done 2 side missions for the Haitians. When I talk to Emmanuel, game says I'm done and one of my objectives is to get more rackets. After a while, I get the boat icon again, exactly in the same place I had already cleared out. I go there and there are no enemies and no boat. I reload the game and sometimes the boat sign spawns on the ground, and other times in different locations. My objective changes from "get more rackets" to the same objective "steal the boat"I had already completed before.
I'm loving the game, but this is fucking annoying. I've already reloaded a previous save file twice and got the same problem every time. Now, I'm going on with the main missions and I'll avoid finishing that side quest until it's fixed, which hopefully is soon, since many people are having exactly the same problem.

It maxes out after 2. It tells you that after the 2nd mission. There is no more to do until you advance the story. It's meant to be like that but just a piss poor job of explaining it and shouldn't leave the quest open.

Why does he wear the mask!?
its blurry as fuck
I noticed the first time it maxes out, but what I find annoying is that the boat spawns in different locations and sometimes even on the ground, which makes me doubt whether it's something I'll unlock alter or just a real bug...this along with the fact that the objective reverts to the same objective I had before I'd maxed out the rackets.

I'm not experiencing that.

Turning down AA helps, on high it makes the game too soft

Just got past the intro, about to face the first racket boss. Just a few things:
1) The soundtrack is phenomenal. Probably the best in-game track selection since Vice City. Any game that can let you rampage through the streets to The Supremes can't be all bad.
2) So far the acting and writing are a cut above, too. The conclusion to that intro hits pretty hard, even if you see it coming from a mile away.
3) I adore how the cars handle? Even with just the "normal" handling, all of the cars have a real weight to them. Like, the truck in the first mission has a ton of momentum to it, and you have to slam those brakes hard to get it to stop if you're at speed.
4) Boy howdy, that AI, though.

The act of shooting your gun and the ways enemies react to being shot are great. That's not my issue. It's that the A.I. is too dumb, awkward, and limited to make encounters, loud or quiet, interesting.
Also not a fan of the reticle size and how it gradually picks up speed as you move it(though heavier weapons handle a little better).

Any idea how long the game is if I stick mainly to the story?
I'm halfway through by the looks of things. There's not much of a story past the opening. It's literally what you think it is: you go after t
he 9 underlings of Marcano by taking over 9 territories

It's not meant to be like that at all. It's glitched.
When you've done a few of Diaz's missions it tells you in bold black letters that all rackets are at max at to come back later. Which is clear as it can be.
The confusion with Emmanuel is that it only sometimes tell you to come back later and other times the mission is open.
Exactly.
The question is: when I unlock and assign more rackets to the Haitians, does this solve the problem? I mean, does the boat actually spawn and everything goes back to normal or does it stay glitched?

There's some minor stuff in Vito's side missions for people who played Mafia II as well.

The devs made some bullshit nonsense about showing the dark side of America and shining a light on real racism...but then made all the Irish family and gang members wear green outfits like they're on a box Lucky Charms. It's painful how stereotypical these characters are, it's painful at times.
Enjoying the game so far, but most of my glitches have been of the funny rather than game-breaking kind...

Was walking around downtown, hunting circuit boards, weapons holstered.
Hear dispatch "negro loitering around downtown".
Cops show up, shoot on sight.
First i was all "wtf is this bullshit", then... had to admit that it made sense.
game might be buggy, but god damn if it doesnt have its moments

Yup all the Oireland tropes are in there - drunk, references to the IRA, explosives expert, green clothing.
Yep. Should've gotten it earlier.
PS4 version seems just fine to me. runs well. install size is 49gb. FYI install sizes are always the same no matter if it's digital or physical

I randomly got charged for Mafia III by Sony. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, will I be able to get a refund? I never placed an order and I've never even played any of the Mafia games

Fine for me, no major glitches or crashing. Install is 45GB I think, takes longer than most installs so you might have to wait 30-45 minutes before starting.
Picked up the deluxe edition on PS4 as an impulse buy, it's pretty alright. The lack of polish really hurts, the lighting and other graphical issues really hurt the immersion for me. That being said, the story presentation is pretty fantastic, at least early on. Really does seem to taper off once the game gets going full swing, which kinda sucks. The stealth is laughably bad, but the actual combat is a lot of fun. Usually I much prefer to sneak my way through missions, but it's just a lot better for the game overall if you go in guns blazing. The gunplay is punchy and sound effects are ace, as are the animations. Soundtrack is top notch.
Kinda regret this as an impulse buy (especially the deluxe edition, oof), so I may just end up blazing through the rest of this and trading it in, the various bugs and oddities really hold it back from being great, imo. The usual open world jank is, for the most part, fine by me, but the crashes and odd graphical issues just absolutely kill it for me. The gameplay loop is fine for me, and I actually enjoy it greatly in small spurts (I've been loading the game up and play through one of the 'helping lieutenants' parts, then shut it off). Not totally disappointed by it, but I do feel let down quite a bit.

This game is so weird....
It shouldn't let you start on C until A & B are done...
I'm pretty sure I've beat the game BUT I skipped a few main story missions along the way simply because other story missions were closer on the map. Now i'm having to go back and do these and the cut scenes keeps talking about how i'm leading up to discovering how to get to guys I've already killed.
Powered through it in 2 days Redbox rental: $1.75 after coupon and free rental code. I had nothing else to do this weekend, it's worth playing but I wouldn't recommend anywhere near full price.

I just went a little further in the main story and it's now changed that side mission to "Rackets at max earn" so it will figure itself out.
It also shows in Intel as Completed 2/2.

Same thing happened to me...I think we're screwed.
And I really don't want to go through this game again...well maybe I'll plow through it.
edit: I'm doing all the side missions and collecting all the collectibles but maybe I can plow through the story missions on a 2nd playthrough.
btw is there a way to skip cutscenes, the stupid crew arriving to the racket scene is pretty bland.

When does that stuff unlock anyway?
It says I need to do a favor for Vito but the game never explains what the hell that even means. I saved his life and brought his business back from the dead, surely that should be more than enough to give me a suppressed weapon.
Question about distributing rackets and districts. Can I give a racket to, say, Vito, but then give the district to Cassandra? That would give me Vito's lieutenant smuggle sidequest for the racket and Cassandra's favour sidequest for the district? Or if I give a racket to someone I also give them the district when I finish it?

Whoever has the district gets all the rackets too.
