Ready Player One is more conventional, but still has some fantastic sequences, (the race and nightclub dancefloor scenes for instance are killer) and a more likeable protagonist.

I found the race sequence to be pretty not great plot-wise (RPO spoilers, but who cares). Like, sure, the CG looked good, but you mean to tell me that thousands of people hunting for easter eggs never thought to go backwards? That is, like, rule 1 of egg hunting. Its like if they hid the super secret easter egg behind a waterfall and nobody ever looked for it. It screams to me that the people writing either don't give a shit, or they don't know anything about video games. 

Also, Scott is supposed to be a bit of a fucker. That is basically the point of the movie. 

Don't forget that if you zero out, you lose everything, which in this case would be an entire car along with other stuff you might have bought, all of which costs real life money. And judging by the prices of the stuff that are being bought within the store the main character goes through, a car in the oasis probably costs about as much as a car in real life, making this stunt prohibitively expensive for most people, especially if you consider how poor most people are. As such, you probably won't try this without a serious hint that there could be something.
