Maybe, if you reread Gantz Final Phase (but perhaps skipping the tae-chan kei-chan chapters) you can still notice the satirical elements of this manga.
People are easily swayed from despair to hope, from hope to despair. People are voyageurs. People are easily broken (even Kurono 2 when he did a suicide jump at the demigod.) People are nowadays easily influenced by the mass media and being dependent on it.
And most of all, people are illogical when it comes to death, mass destruction, extermination or whatever this situation is called. Here, the crow pleaded for Kurono to go face alien prince, and there, people are online posting Kurono is a dead man, the world is going to end, etc etc. I was like "wtf" cities were destroyed, bodies lying everywhere and they're posting shit on the forums like "Kurono's getting squashed lmfao lololoo" instead of sharing your last moments of life with your beloved ones.
Oku is truly mocking the human race and the internet.
As for the plotholes, I also don't see any major problems, apart from the vampires that is.
The import of the vampires was almost meaningless for the whole Gantz story, aside for them being "the hunted" and wanting revenge on the black suits. They're not even alien immigrants, just a different "race" of humanity having badass powers. What's the point of having the vampire duo if they're not even fighting, forced or not?! Ahhh and what happened to the chip inside their heads?! They didn't got rescanned by Gantz as I recall correctly. Sakurai and Kurono got transferred into the giant gundams but not them?! =.="
Sorry It just annoyed me seeing them standing there so apathetically...
I feel that there won't be a good ending, only a "bad" ending in such way that the damage done cannot be restored. If Oku Hiroya used the technology of the demigod race to revive all people and have everyone happy and living using a deus ex machina, then I will be veeeeeeeeeeryy disappointed :/
Please have in mind that this is all my interpretation and opinion on Gantz.
Seems that I almost made this comment a review. My apologies for the long post.

But right now the only thing i want to know is wtf is up with Sebastian. His face randomly showing up in the room of the creatures simulating the real world doesn't explain anything since those guys were just randomly displaying faces.
Then wtf is Sebastian even doing in the simulated world pretending to be human and giving information to a reporter. Where the hell did he teleport to?
Also why are those beings even simulating this world.
This plothole alone is way too huge and kills part of the story all by itself.
P.S:
no explanation where he hell the vampires got the nanobots to make them vampires ...
Oh yes I forgot Sebastian indeed. I think he appeared to show the reader that those demigods are being totally random.
As stated in chapter 370 p7 "We just chose to do so. We could just as easily have chosen not to [protect order of the earth]"
Theory 1: Sebastian was probably also some random pawn of those beings, a creation alike to men controlled by demigod.
Theory 2: Sebastian is part of that god alike thing and during his time on earth that part was separated.
