Felt like half the sins were for things that they had addressed in the books. Why could you get attacked in the club? Cause it was in a PvP area, which made it risky and exclusive. Why are there portals? Cause it cost money/resources to travel between worlds. Why wouldn't multiple arcade cabinets spawn? They did in the book. Why could you approach the character doing the final challenge? You couldn't, entering a portal was a single-player thing. Why were there cans of soda sitting around? It was about creating a realistic atmosphere you could brag about. Etc. Etc.

I'm still in the middle of the book that this movie was based on and its mindblowing how they just skimmed over the world-building and changed the ENTIRE egg hunt, literally the entire plot. they changed the answers, the riddles, they took out a whole SUBSECTION of it. jesus. theres also multiple spielberg references in the book. i guess steven really liked his references.

The saddest part is they changed the Hunt's premise. In the book you need to know 80's trivia to solve the riddles because Halliday loved the 80's. But in the movie you have to know Halliday Trivia. which is dumb. and is more akin to the books sequel, Ready Player Two. You dont get that joyous feeling of solving the riddle With the characters because the information is based on something you cannot know about in our world.

[@derboehsevincent3791]

that's the main problem of the film. It needs an "afternoon" from start to finish. In the book there are month of reading and combining clues - no strange android. Also the quests were lame. Driving backwards, jumping on zombies? The book is an homage to the 80s, the film a dumbed down version of it, sadly. (with useless mentions of newer technolgies and games which breaks immersion for me, twitter, overwatch, minecraft etc)

[@JackWatts017]

Can I add that the Watts in the movie has been dumbed down than the Watts on the book? And I kinda hated it when the most thrilling part of the book (Watts invading the IOI just to know how to disable the orb) didn't make it to the movie. Imagine that happening on the movie instead. That will be quite more thrilling.

[@derboehsevincent3791]

thrilling is word that doesn't exists in the film. You never have the feeling that there is some sort of danger.

I really hoped they would make a good adaptation of the book, but it's just another blockbuster

18:35 yes, in the books, I believe when searching for the 2nd key or gate(can’t remember) he thought he found a clue by playing a perfect game of Pac-Man, which in the book, Halliday was one of the first people in the world to do so.

Example 3: One of the Asian kids died in real life because IOI legit murdered him (Daito I think) Example 4: Daito and Shoto actually lived in Japan, Aech (H) lived in his van, Art3mis's home was in Vancouver. Example 5: Wade defeated Nolan by himself when he tricked IOI into thinking he was cheating the system so they would arrest them. Example 6: Wade was actually intelligent in the book instead of being someone who ran on hints he got from other people. Example 7: It took around 6 MONTHS for Art3mis to solve the 2nd challenge, which was AFTER IOI solved it, then Aech, and after that it took ages for Wade to solve it after he was given hints Example 8: There was no curator?? AND THERE WAS NO BUTTON to shut down the game.

I believe that the Jade Key was in Art3mis’s possession for 3-5 days before the sixers got it and cracked the code in around a day. H was next (I’m calling her H because I don’t care and it’s easier), and she sent Wade a not with the cover of “Zork” attached. This was a hint for him, because the Jade key was hidden on Frobaz, where you can play recreations of Zork and it’s sequels.

(Solve Riddle) - The First Clue to the Location of the Copper key ends up being hidden in Anorak's Almanac with tiny notches besides letters which spells out a riddle. (Beat Challenge) - Once you decipher the riddle and find the location of the first key, you then need to beat "Acererak", an advanced Ai at Joust on an Arcade machine in "Best of 3" to get the copper key. (Solve Riddle) - Once you get the key you have to decipher another riddle which takes you to the location of the first gate, (Beat Challenge) - You then need to complete Dungeons of Daggorath for the TRS-80 to open the First Gate. (Beat Gate) - The First Gate ends up being a Movie Challenge where you need to speak all the correct dialogue and actions for the entire movie of "Wargames" (Solve Riddle) - Once you clear the first gate, you have to solve another riddle to get the location of the Jade Key (Beat Challenge) - You then need to complete a Zork Challenge which involves collecting 19 trophies and blowing a Cap'N Crunch Bo'Sun Whistle. (Solve Riddle) - After you get the Jade key you have to solve another riddle to find the location of the second gate (Beat Gate) - Once you find the second gate you need to beat a First Person 3D version of "Black Tiger" (Solve Riddle) - Once that is done you get a red five pointed star, (specifically the star from the cover of the Rush concept album 2112) which is a clue to the location of the Crystal key (Beat Challenge) - Once you reach the location of the Crystal key you need to play particular riff on a hidden guitar waiting there and returning it to the altar (this is probably the easiest key to attain) (Solve Riddle) - Once you have the Crystal key it gives you a clue on the location of the 3rd gate and how to open it, which ends up requiring 3 people with the crystal key and singing a Schoolhouse Rock song, "Three Is A Magic Number". (Beat Challenge) - Once you open the 3rd gate you then need to beat a score of 728,329 on the classic video game Tempest (Beat Challenge) - Once you beat that, you then need to complete another movie challenge, which ends up being Monty Python's The Holy Grail (Beat Gate) - Once you beat that, you then need to choose from a massive pile of video games an consoles the right game (which ends up being Adventure). You then need to get the hidden dot in adventure to unlock the easter egg and beat the challenge So thats 6 Riddles, 6 challenges, and the 3 Gates themselves.

Great catch.. now we know!!

[@Cati.Colours]

So glad I'm not the only one that noticed!

[@saltedwounds]

It took me a while to hear it 😂

[@hunterwilder9665]

When I first read the book, I imagined the OASIS having an animation style that’s blocky and old fashioned, kind of like a combination of Minecraft and an ‘80s 8-bit arcade game. When the trailer came out, my first reaction to their interpretation of the OASIS was “I missed the mark”

[@a.t.2112]

I mean the book goes in depth on how realistic the Oasis was. "The real world looked washed out and blurry by camparison"

[@finalfant111]

No, they missed the mark. This movie was horrible. Worst adaption of all time!

[@krümelbert_gandelcookie]

I don’t know how you get to that imagination? The book tells quit a few times that everything is rendered photo realistic and that the real world even feels washed out against it. Also when he enters the museum planet he says that it looks weird how his highly rendered ship sits in the pixel planet

[@Gabriel2005Gaming]

I imagined something similar to like, Super Mario Galaxy, except the planetts are a lot bigger and more spread apart

[@kingferret53]

I pictured some parts that way, some realistic, and others somewhere in-between.

[@popfizz55]

18:33 he played a perfect game of pac man Edit: it’s more exciting then it sounds

[@dojee8993]

yeah it actually was what a fucking geek

[@jollypudd]

it’s so hard to make something like that interesting, but our boi Ernest nailed it

[@Stario1Up]

I only hated that in the book because it's so difficult to do. Really accentuates how much of a Gary Stu the character is. Still neat though.

[@vgmaster7494]

Mhm

[@krazyfrog]

TheVampirate the weirdest part of the book character was how seemingly he had played, read, watched and listened to everything Haliday liked multiple times. Like how did he even find the time to do all that.

[@xojaxproductions7090]

“Hey, he didn’t count to three!” The exact words I used when I watched that scene for the first time somehow makes its way into his script

[@bloodwar5005]

You guys should've done a bonus round for the amount of times that Tracer from Overwatch was shown, Blizzard clearly had a stake in this movie.

[@mikemcglasson1286]

I heard somewhere that the movie actually has more Battleborn characters than Overwatch characters. Someone was way off on guessing which one of those would take off

[@ragnarok-3440]

Yeah and Jim Raynor from star craft was only shown ONCE....a way better blizzard character IMO.

[@dragontyron]

To be fair, there's a lot of characters from EVERYWHERE that get a lot of screentime fuck, the _Battletoads_ were leading the charge in the final battle scene

[@GamesforCykits]

God I hate tracer so much...... and wtf no one being a Star Wars character? Come on was hoping to see an army of Jedi and sith or at least 2 Jedi and two sith like working together or one on each side during the big battle, we only got references like some some cool props here and there by I didn’t see anyone being dark cad r force chocking people, and no dragon ball z like so many missed opportunity like seeing ultra instinct goku would have been a cool power up or relic you could use for like 5 mins and no Star Trek characters either

[@ulogy]

Games For Cykits Disney has pretty strict licencing terms, and they own the Star Wars universe.

[@TheBroGamer14082]

The Whole Movie Is basically The Gaming Community vs. EA

[@npclucario7005]

The Bro Gamer 14082 pretty much

[@bookid1581]

The Bro Gamer 14082 SO TRUE

[@ronin1648]

Not adding loot boxes to the movie was a missed opportunity.

[@TheACEcompany]

prenom nom That would've been fucking hilarious.

[@ytc_pbc4376]

👌🏼hahahahahaha👌🏼😂

[@woutervvugt]

All characters (even the Asian kids) happen to not be fat and gross creepy adults and all happen to live close to eachother in North-America? When they showed a group of kids joining the big final battle as Ninja Turtles they were running with VR goggles ON THE street. Pokemon GO deaths all over again. When IOI employees got killed in a blast wave circle in the final battle, they just happened to also be in a circle when the VR rig lights turned red? If the first player to ever get the first key has a cheap avatar, don´t you think everyone will dress up as him? But yeah, no-one in five years has ever tried driving backwards... I remember watching a team of Halo easter egg hunters glitching 20 vehicles into the void to use them as a staircase to get to a cinematic-only room they were never supposed to go. People be crazy dedicated.

[@MemeMan42069]

this is what happens when people who don't play video games make a move about video games.

[@Blitzvonic]

It's like the Cline forgot that people are stupid and crazy when it comes to looking for easter eggs

[@looktalike]

In the book wade was fat and bald and spent several weeks humping a sex doll while getting over his breakup with Art3mis

[@basicallyme8205]

In the book shoto and daito is in Japan and aech and art3mis is in north america, but in totally different places, and they all get brought together with private Jets because og (co creator of the oasis) has a lot of jets...

[@schlarfblrfsch]

the Cat girl appearing at 9:01 is raising some mild flags

[@Xiiki]

The ending when he says “goodbye” it made me cry.

[@aggad16]

I know that the “books don’t matter” but I just have to say that the book was way better. The puzzles were so much better (especially the first one, you’re telling me thousands of gamers never thought to go backwards in a puzzle?). Plus it made more sense, like the fact that there PvP restricted areas. Wade also got the coin by finding an area no one ever found before and getting a flawless score on Pac-Man. I just wish they put in the first puzzle at least because it shows how he started with literally nothing, just on the school planet with no money and no way to go anywhere else.

[@nathanerickson5703]

The puzzles in the book were a labor of love; accomplishments only achievable by filthy cheaters(IOI)and people with the same level of love as Halliday. These challenges just felt... generic. Also there's NO WAY the world would just forget the person who cracked the first code. They would at least become a meme, not just forgotten by even gunters.

[@SmashLiXs]

some critics say the movie is better

[@evanstorm8889]

This is one of those movie (another example being the shining) where the movie is good if you haven’t read the book. Both movies change so much of what the original novels did so great. They are both great as stand-alone movies, but when you factor in the VERY good books, the movies just don’t look good.

[@alfredgomez3128]

@@evanstorm8889 Both are at fault for shoving too much under a time frame, too quickly. The movie streamlines some events (The 1up coin, movie is quicker) but clears out several reference connections ( The big robot fight, better in the book) For instance, it would be nice to have a nostalgic connection for the Iron Giant and Aech, but that's never elaborated.

[@HurricaneDDragon]

Aggad I’ve only heard bad things about the book actually. I heard that in the book Wade is straight up unlikeable and has even less personality than he does in the movie (which is saying something).

[@adamgough9333]

99% of these sins can be smnmarized with “Steven Spielberg changed THIS from the book, now it makes no fucking sense.”

[@vr4042]

Actually, Cline was co-screenwriter so, ugh man were probably his changes

[@TheFiReLoRd777]

Adam Gough I was thinking the same thing xD

[@Veazeysbanjo]

Say it again for the people in the back

[@treyreppe4348]

Props for the comments. I literally left the movie yelling this is bullshit while people clapped at a movie that was not "ready player one"

[@AndreTheCrab]

It is an ok movie but is not faithful to the source material at all.

[@nicolassalamanca8051]

They focused on ALL the wrong aspects of the book this movie should've been revolutionary

[@c31979839]

Nicolas Salamanca exactly. The movie adaptation of the book had great potential... But leave it to Hollywood to fuck it all up.

[@GoCeltics734]

the book chugged dick

[@wesleywallace4426]

And how could they have made the movie better?

[@wesleywallace4426]

Ebi That doesn't make any sense. If you don't know let someone else answer.

[@montagez3651]

Wesley Wallace It does make sense. I doubt you’ve even read the book.

[@galicredstone]

Your after-credits are always great. Leeroy Jenkins reference for the win.

[@chiefchaman7259]

They have a gauntlet that can turn them into any robot and they don't turn into mecha Godzilla. Why isn't this a sin, also the amount of times tracer appeared should be a sin

[@womangaming9169]

Yeah

[@noobertsthenoob5989]

Chief chaman no one found it lul

[@dallinjolley2613]

It explained why they can’t in the book

[@hashimrabani2718]

so basically it cancels out

[@donovancarrasco9833]

Why?

[@zwooorldo19]

So no one accidentally drove backwards on the game lol

[@Kobalent]

Let's also ignore the fact this takes place after the internet, speedrunning, and generally playing games the dumb way was already a thing. Someone should have gone backwards within a day of the challenge being discovered.

[@Hadyen_]

Kobalent I doubt that, even trolls wouldn't have risked losing everything to test that. Remember, Halliday said something during the memory scene, can't quite remember the exact quote, that suggests you have to go full speed in order for the gate to open. Also, people likely wouldn't have gone backwards as they could clearly see the wall behind them and likely wouldn't think they would gain anything from doing it. It's not like this was a lap race, it was point to point

[@Kobalent]

HaydenRich27 you overestimate the intelligence of large groups of gamers. There would definitely be at least a niche willing to try dumb stuff, specially if they are dedicated to hunt Easter Eggs.

[@Hadyen_]

Kobalent that is true, but it is also suggested that the credits equal to real life money, as you can buy irl products with them. I don't think it would have taken 5 years to find the first key, however, I still think it would have taken a little while

[@agonleed3841]

HaydenRich27 nope. Other guy is right. Some people have money to waste...or d ont mind wasting money. I have done plenty of dumb shit in ga,rd for. But to be fair...its all rationalized by some way. Like..if everyone is failing this challenge, then OBVIOUSLY it's time to do something different. After you've failed 3x...its time to do something different. So, yea....the first day, many people would've flipped each other in..or attempted. Exploded someone in. Tried getting out of the car to run And at some point, on purpose or by accident, the car would turn backwards...amd voila. Even if hit was just the person in first, PURPOSELY blocking off the rest, then get hit and spun backwards. And someone else, seeing that, maybe not having enough people to hit them, would try to simulate it by so just driving fast and spinning out aiming to go in backwards. If you play online games a lot, these scenssrios are all likely to happen within the first day of a hard challenge.

[@samanthaa.6055]

ALSO- Let alone how crazy a coincidence it is that Samantha and Wade both live in Columbus, but the entire gunter posse? FOH

[@dre724]

Samantha Mauney Aiken in the book o think Ogden arranged flights for everyone to Columbus idk about the movie

[@chloeowens2587]

I have a theory for that and it’s quite simple: The Oasis has localized servers

[@michelletrivett5564]

In the movie Samantha lived in Toronto Canada and Wade lived in Oklahoma. Wade then moves to Columbus, and after a while Aug brings the “high Five” or more like “High Four” to his mansion. Read the book for the good details. This is very dumbed-down

[@hobojoe0858]

That does not happen in the movie. They do not meet Og until the end of the movie.

[@Mhj30596xxok]

IKR?? And they're all not even a major city like Cleveland or something, but fucking Columbus.

[@carsteynf4974]

"Orgasmboxing" I'm dead 💀😂 7:34

[@dirgewordsmithe]

TheFikri136 NO WAY, IT WAS THAT BAD???? It looked terrifying!!!

the whole movie is a sin

[@olleselin]

Me too

[@SaurianStudios1207]

Way better than George suckass's prequel trilogy

[@CalebCraft10]

Daniel Sambar Makes me want PG-13 / R animated movies.

[@SPM0717]

JurassicAvenger/Goji14 You're comparing a 2018 film to 1999-2005 films...?

[@Sean-hn1vt]

The reason Halliday's favourite restaurant is Chuck E Cheese is most likely because it was founded by Nolan Bushnell, who was actually one of the guys who invented the Atari gaming console, which plays a huge role in the film, so its probably due to that.
