How regularly are they updating these days? It was pretty spotty when I was a member a year or so ago. Sorry to hear the camera work is still shitty, its always a pitty when a scene with a really attractive lady is ruined by the cameraman.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
There are some good videos, mostly hardcore but some softcore
There are several very attractive women
Seems to be exclusive content, haven't seen a bunch of these girls before
Server is pretty fast
Cons:
Small site as of now, only about 64 women
Some of the videos are a little odd (long intro portions, the models are eastern european and none of the talking I heard was in english - several i saw had a guy just sort of standing around for the entire video)
Some videos are a bit large given the quality
Bottom Line:
A reasonable site, probably only worth joining if you particularly like a girl shown on the preview pages (as that is pretty much all there is). Certainly not worth joining for more than a month
Thanks, I enjoyed your review, although I can't say I agree with it (but then I am not one for the rougher stuff), I guess it just goes to show how subjective porn can be - I hate hate hate Brazzers, but so many think it is great, I just don't get it (do they use spray paint for makeup at that place?)
Hey messmer, there was some other site that did this, but I can't seem to recall which it was, TeenDreams or something? If you look at the file location it has some really long list of characters with your IP address in it, and this list of characters seems to change after a while. Perhaps there is some workaround for this issue, but I haven't come across one.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Very large collection, with a pretty wide of content
-A good number of attractive ladies
-Excellent price when I subscribed ($5), but the TBP price is still great
-I like that many of the sites have some type of setup, rather than straight gonzo
-No DRM
-No download limits that I encountered
-Download speeds typically good, I got 1.5MB/s using a download manager which is my connection max
-Download managers work (I used DTA), the most I could seem to get was two concurrent downloads, although there are some issues, see cons.
-Good navigation, scenes are tagged, there is a search function that works better than most sites I have used, as well as comments (which seem rarely used), favorites, and forum
-Network updates frequently, 15 times in the last week, 65 times in the last month
-Camerawork is generally good, at least compared to their American competitors, not as many lingering closeups, long shots of the guy’s face, etc
-Cont. in BL
Cons:
-As others have said, too many fake/large breasts
-Ads on login are annoying
-Lower price for the first month with a vastly increased price thereafter, seems to punish those that want to stay around for a while (or take advantage of those that forgot to cancel)
-Though the tags are nice, and being able to sort through all the scenes using their ‘Porn Finder’, they are a bit overly ambitious with some tags (petite as far as I know doesn’t just mean short)
-Download mangers work, but they do file location shifting so if you queue up too much stuff you will get file location errors
-Older videos are poor quality, although they appear to be remastering some of this content
Bottom Line:
Pros Cont.
-Scenes are generally well done, little abusive male talent, not much jibber-jabber from the cameraman, they do well in this area where so many other hardcore American sites fail miserably
BL:
Though I generally dislike American hardcore porn sites these days, I think this might be the best of the bunch. Where so many others fail in so many ways (aweful camerawork, horribly annoying male talent, iffy business practices), this one seems to do a fair bit better than average in all of these areas. I think for the price, it is definitely one worth joining for at least a month now and again if you are into hardcore porn.
This site is somewhat softer than some might like, so if you are looking for a harder edge (more anal, more abusive behavior), you are probably better off trying a different site. But, I would imagine most that are in to this type of videos would be reasonably satisfied with their purchase.
There are a few things the site could do better, as listed in the cons. I found the tagging to be highly inconsistent, listing women with C-D cups as small breasted, a few that I am pretty sure have fake breasts are ‘natural’ (although I’m no expert), and general misuse of some categories – which is annoying for someone who is a fan of small framed models and keeps getting large breasted results. It would perhaps be nice if you could select more than one category (for example petite and natural would have been greatly appreciated) or if you could select a “not” category.
I did not experience any of the dead links messmer mentioned, so perhaps this is resolved, or perhaps it is only in the MILF sections (see his reply to my review).
If you are interested in hardcore American porn, I would probably join this network over any of the other options (BangBros, RK, PornPros), as with all of those, I have gotten so frustrated that I just let my subscription lapse without returning after the first week. While there are some areas they could improve, like having a bit more user interaction on scenes, labeling better, removing some of the ads, I think it is generally the best of the American hardcore networks.
Thanks lk2, its not that I was all that interested, I generally don't like cam sites, they always seem like a scam to me for some reason (if I want to tip, I'll go to a nudy bar, thanks). I was more concerned that we may be getting charged for it. Thanks again for all the effort looking into it.
did you get charged anything for this lk2, or is it just a cam site that requires you to pay-to-play? I also took advantage of the deal, but couldn't find any such email amongst all my spam, and I don't see anything on epoch. You would think they would tell you about these things when you signed up or something.
Like I said in my reply, I agree this is typical of American sites these days, and I believe many here have complained about it at others as well - I don't intend to pick on this site exclusively, I'm sure many of my reviews of American sites have the same complaint. I agree this site has a lot to offer, and I generally like it (aside from using flv on some of their videos and changing video locations to restrict download manager use) but I think to many knowing off the bat 50% of it is crap you wont ever be interested in is a bit disappointing (not that I ever really download more than 10-20% of any of site).
With regard to the large breasted comment, I tend to put large/fake in the same category, although fake is definitely worse, as I am not a fan of either and this site has a tendency to have many of both (once again, as do most American porn sites). I guess this is why I join mostly euro sites lately - I'm sure many would gripe that all the women are flat in sites I enjoy, and I would take that as a valid complaint from their perspective, even if a bit hyperbolic.
You must admit though hodayathink, for many 50% fake is a very large percentage (and people are prone to hyperbole about these types of things), additionally beyond the 50% fakes there are many natural large breasted women. Not to say the site doesn't have its fair share of natural models, my impression of this place is always "christ how many fake/large breasted women are at this place"? I guess it is probably just typical of American porn sites these days for the most part though...
Excellent review RA, I agree with all of your sentiments, although for this fan of petite models it was way to heavy on the large breasted women for me (but as you say there was some material for me there).
I suppose that is true about the fakes. The only only reason I comment on the renew thing is I sometimes forget to cancel - although I do often cancel on the day I join.
Good review exotics, you and I seem to be joining many of the same sites lately - I had actually started a review of this but it pretty much just echoed wittyguys review. I'm not a fan of the extended trial setup with the higher priced renew, and the fake breast quantity, but I guess you are right they don't get the models fake breasts (although they do chose to put them on the site).
nice review wittyguy, this is one of those sites I keep thinking I should try sometime, but just never get around to it. Probably scared off by their homepage that tends to highlight the altered ladies.
I sort of thought this site on this network was more or less dead? I seem to recall not having seen many updates when I was a member over the summer (I do like the athletic ladies, and this site, so not that it is bad or anything I just don't seem to recall them updating it much).
Nice review marc, for some reason I never even noticed they had live shows archived here in either of the times I was a member on this network, guess I'll have to look more closely next time.
I know people sort of harp on this exclusivity thing (and don't like lies), but to me it seems like the majority of euro sites claim exclusivity (Teen Maga World, Deisel, Smackmybitch, etc), and are just partially/mostly so. I sort of think it is just the state of porn (especially euro) these days.
Nice link Denner, very useful, surprised I never came across it before.
As for the site, it looks good, but sort of odd - some it it looks like a throwback to 80's-90's porn ColorClimax style stuff. Could by good though I suppose.
The last time I was a member I re-downloaded some of their older material as I had also lost it, and the quality didn't appear to be any better. Perhaps they have re-encoded some stuff since then, that was back in March. I doubt it though, I'm sure their focus is much more at getting new material out.
