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?

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.

The "nobody thought to go fucking backwards in five years" thing was what I was thinking _the whole time._ Fun as this movie was, there's no way that "go backwards" wasn't tried in FIVE YEARS. Even if they didn't know the clue, someone would have tried it just to be silly.

[@dragontyron]

I dunno man, with as popular as Oasis is, someone would have _definitely_ done it. Hell, we'd have kids logging into siblings' accounts to ruin their shit in the most funny ways possible, or doing content for KZbin/Twitch and accidentally stumbling on it.

Well the stats of the weapon and armor are what matters, planet doom didn’t exist in the book, but leveling up just increased what weapons you could use and your base hitpoints. So level doesn’t matter, and a guy with a machine gun will win against a guy with Jason’s machete

Treadmill i get... seems nice and pretty alright (even with the van crashing in) strings... uhm... where are you walking towards... how can you run in the oasis if you run? dont the cables get knoted togehter? SO MANY QUESTIONS. And the worst thing: free runaround... we see peoiple doing actions with only their visor... HOW does it transfer movement... HOW are they kept safe?

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.

Everything wrong with this movie: It'S nOtHiNg LiKe ThE bOoK!?!? Example 1: In the book, this dude actually goes to school. AND that's where the first challenge is (also none of the challenges were accurate, although the 3rd was pretty close) Example 2: In no way, shape, or form do the main characters hunt for the keys together. 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. Example 9: Morrow (the dude with white hair at the end) was actually the person who brought all the main characters together and was basically the only reason Wade succeeded. But props to them for sticking to Aech being a black woma

Gabriella Andrews most of the stuff was true (in yours), but I’m going to help correct because I’m stupid. 1. Diato was the one that died IRL, not Shoto. Easy to get them mixed up tho 2. There was a button to shut off the game, but Wade didnt almost shut it off like an idiot 3. 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. He got it almost immediately Yes, so many things were different and a lot of people didn’t like it, including me. I am not in any way, shape, or form trying to attack you. I just wanted to tell you some things that I think you got wrong (the button one especially). Everything you said was true (unless I am a complete idiot, which I probably am), so please don’t get mad at me. Thank you

No sin points for the actions of IOI against the people until the very end of the movie by legal authorities? Like, they're kidnapping people, bombing homes, etc. in the movie with zero consequences up until Wade wins, and then suddenly the cops get involved?

[@petrkuklinek5222]

Its actually explained pretty well in the book, before they blow up the trailer, Sorento tells Wade that noone will care because it will just look as meth lab exploding and Daito death just looks as ,,another otaku suicide''.

[@geiroveeilertsen7112]

And IOI kidnapping people is, in the context of the novel, legal when said reason for kidnapping is paying your debt to IOI. It is Federal law...

[@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.

[@KhrynTzu]

I hope when he does infinity war, half of the sins vanish when thanos snaps his fingers 😂😂

[@GamesforCykits]

Gatsby Neptune Lol Yea that be cool

[@ulogy]

Yeah, but then he remembers that Dr. Strange could've just turned back time and killed or imprisoned Thanos when he wasn't powerful, so the sins double.

[@calebproductions1264]

Even if Dr. Strange uses his powers to turn back time to when Thanos didn’t had the gauntlet and killed him easily for the movie to end quickly, then people would’ve been bitching at Marvel.

[@ulogy]

Caleb Montes Oh, no doubt. Just feel like there could've been a way to make Strange not *know* what's coming yet so there'd be no giant plot hole (Yeah, the whole "don't mess with time" warning from the Strange movie still holds I guess, but he literally altered the timeline an infinite number of times to win there, so I'd assume one quick zip back isn't nearly as bad.)

[@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.

[@thegodofallakira6349]

10:17 this was a lot more impactful in the book, as another character was established in that same stack that the main character actually cared for, but movie decided that wasent pop culture enough
