The combat was great. But it really didn’t feel like a Max Payne game.

Rockstar is currently embroiled in a legal battle after firing 34 staff, most of whom were involved in unionization efforts. When I asked Rockstar head of publishing Jennifer Kolbe about voluntary recognition, she said: "We go where the team goes. So if they want a union, they will have a union.”

"Journalism demands reporters ask the tough questions and look beyond the PR buzzwords. Even if that means they might be put on the Naughty List by companies that have become far too comfortable with the idea of this profession being an invite-only affair."

I’m in a position where I’ll be able to get both, due to forgoing a previous month’s game release to put money aside for Ocarina of time remake, and still be able to get GTA VI as well. Though if I had had to pick one, I’d have picked OOT. The original is my GOAT. No contest between the two.

Maxim Newman @maxiprince.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

So far just the one you get at the start and then the one you get in the parking garage. I’m hoping I get the one that lets you seemingly drag yourself to any surface soon. From the trailers that one looked really useful.

I’ve just found my way into the factory. Before that I really struggled finding my way to the theatre. Honestly just finding the traversal really difficult.

I’m honestly not enjoying the game as much as I enjoyed control. Not vibing the open world aspect. I’ll continue playing because I paid for it, but I won’t be spending as much time as I would have otherwise.
