Ender's Game managed to nail it 15 years BEFORE such things existed. Ready Player One was written 10 years AFTER such things had been around, and still failed.

      To be fair, everyone has insecurities, even people others might consider very attractive. While I agree how the movie handled it was very stupid (coming from someone who also has a massive birthmark), I think it's wrong to say that just be someone is conventionally attractive they can't have insecurities in how they look. Hell, just look at all the celebrities that are constantly trying to "fix" their appearance when they were already widely considered to be very attractive.

      Goldeneye was an old fps. Oddjob is a character in it.
      Oddjob is like two feet shorter than every other character, but the aim assist still targets where other people's heads would be. This means you can't hit him unless you aim down, and free-aiming on the N64 was tedious and difficult.
      Slappers was a melee only game mode. Keeping everything else in mind, you're now in a setting where you can only damage other players by getting close enough that they can hurt you too.

    The book and movie were godawful terrible, but I think special mention needs to be made of how out of touch Ernest Cline is.
    He fails at pop culture callbacks because it's supposed to be the 80s but his knowledge mostly mostly begins and ends at 1977-1983. He's writing nostalgia for 30 somethings with the knowledge of a 40 something. An 80s nostalgia fest with a big chunk of it being about video games, and not one mention of Nintendo? Black Tiger and Joust as the most iconic arcade games? TRS-80 as the the most iconic 80s home computer? No Commodore 64 or Apple II? Nobody quotes any lines from Wargames that aren't from the computer.
    Beyond the pop culture, he totally fails at capturing online culture. He has no clue how virtual reality works. He has no clue how internet communities work. He has no clue how people interact online. He has no clue how ARG games play out. He writes the internet like someone who only watched Tron once instead of actually using the internet.
    The most fascinating thing though? You compare Ready Player One with Ender's Game. Orson Scott Card managed to absolutely nail how online competitive gaming works: playing against the predictable macro master AI, getting creamed playing your first human after being used to the predictable AI, rush strategies, shifting metas, etc. Card was able to perfectly write back in 1985 how modern online gaming would work, 15+ years before it happened. By comparison, Cline wrote his book AFTER online gaming had existed for over 10 years and STILL was unable to accurately portray it.
    That's just embarrassing.
    (seriously though, ARG games have been around since dial up internet. How do you write a book about them in 2011 not knowing that some obsessive message board group would burn through any of them in under 3 days?)

    • @serenedystopia3488
      @serenedystopia3488 5 років тому +16

      Your points are mostly plausible, but Joust was a big part of the book(the first quest depended on it).
      He also talks about Halliday owning Apple II's and a Commodore 64 and how the TRS-80 was called the "Trash-80".
      I agree with the rest.

      Is that not what you would do with millions of dollars?
      Granted, I'd buy a batsuit and batmobile and pay some celebrities to fight for my amusement first, but that is a close second.

      The best thing about spielberg and this movie is the fact that he once said that once you pick up the controller, your heart shuts down, that games cannot evoke any kind of emotion.
      Who let him direct this movie?

      Steven Spielberg's a Billionaire, not a Millionaire. Plus most of the IP's were Warner Bros who funded the movie, so it didn't cost them anything.

    If you're going into an EPIC battle where you can be anything, I think a lovecraftian god would be much better than a battle toad

      Do you mean the Great Old Ones or the Outer Gods? I don't think it'd be very possible to become Azathoth tbh. Some Great Old Ones, such as Cthulhu or even Nyarla (an exception to the Outer Gods) are possible, along with other servants/spawn.
