I don't think it's suspicious when someone starts their posting career at PU giving the highest ratings ever - probably because that's what I did. I started posting in order to let people here know about the sites that I thought were the best around - and I think all of my first reviews were in the 90's as a result.
I think it's the case that most people start posting here because they're passionate in one direction or another - they're either excited to let people know about the sites they think are fantastic or they've been burned by a site and they want to let people here know that was the case.
We need to give newbie posters a break - if they stick around a while, they'll probably settle down and be more moderate in their ratings.
Met Art deserves high praise - they're one of the most consistent, professional, generous sites around and if you like soft erotic photography, they are a truly great site.

Yes you got me I am really a computer at NORAD and soon I will take over the world Skynet.In all seriousness you cant really tell if any person on this site is honest or not I have the right to put out my opnion about a site just cause you dont agree with my score dosent mean that I am lying it not like this is some double blind study varifed one down side of the web as a whole is that any person can really say anything anywhere and have no real proof that they are right or even know what they are talking about. I could care less about if someone doesnt like a site as much as I do.

Yup, agree - but, man, we've seen so many other new PUs doing 99 or 100 without any serious arguments - just la,la,la...
I think hondaman done some fine things here after all - you remember how difficuelt it was in the start - I do anyway and got scorned a few times.
If a new PU shows some serious signs, he/she should get every chance.
In this case I do not "feel" any kind of faul play.
But, bro - we'll see in the future - guess there's never any 100%..
Cheers!

Well, bro - you cannot take it from him (the new user, hondaman) that he THINKS it's "the best erotic art site on the net" - just because hondaman is new HERE - he - like so many others - could have been browsing for years - and then just joined PU.
And this user once also rated Met Art to 96 - because of the great models/quality in photosets - that I've since downgraded it had to do with the less exiting videos.
Anyway, I still think our new fellow PU has done a pretty good review here....

Are you sure that you where ever a member of this site? As I dont see how you can say that there is no search when there most certinaly is one on the site.

Not sure what you mean by "lack of fire". That seems to me to be what MET-Art models show that other errotic sites dont but everyone has their own opnion.

I've just downloaded an update to Digamour and they added a 3D city that you can explore with your character and adjusted the XP level settings like you suggested. You might want to give this game another try it's much better now!

There are a few sites that say something similar and thing that gets quite a few people is that they have a certain amount of downloads, and once you past that point (regardless of the time it takes you to do so) you've basically forfeited the right for refund. They don't say it, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

I understand why you feel suspicious. aamurphy has been a member of the site for quite awhile now, and really enjoys it. I put up a link inside my members area asking members to help promote Murder Lily by coming here and adding their reviews, and he took the opportunity. He told me what he had done, so I came here to reply.
I'm afraid I'm not sure how I can prove to you that he is indeed one of my members. However, I feel confident saying let's just give it time, and hopefully some more members will reply and you will see what they think.
While aamurphy feels extremely positive about the site, perhaps you will see more balanced replies in time and an overall view of my site will emerge.

I noticed the profession of stuntmen being used as a comparaison to a pornstar. Does anyone think that a stuntman would allow himself to be set on fire for that big scene without first putting some protection on? Yes some of them do get hurt, but it's not because of the lack of precautions. If sometimes we can see the fake mask or the fire retardant material beneath the clothes well we accept that because the alternative might be a dead stuntman. Is it so wrong then to expect to have the same consideration for a pornstar.
I wish you luck on your crusade to find any kind of study about the the use of condom or not in porn. You won't find any. As far as I know the only segment of the pron market that requires performers to wear condoms is gay porn, and I've read that there are a couple of mavericks studios that still ask their performers to go bareback.
I know that my condom only view is in a minority, but I was shocked and saddened to read on another forum, that an 18yrs old performer contracted anal warts during the filming of one of her movies. Do you realise that this can lead to anal cancer.

That is a valid point - essentially the decision has already been made. I'll have to reconsider my score, perhaps it needs to be adjusted. Hell, I've been planning on adjusting all my scores to a less finite measurement anyway - maybe now is the time to do that :-P
Well thanks for sticking it out, many people run away from arguments (discussions, debates, et cetera) these days - it is always nice to run across other people who enjoy the activity. I'll admit I often have the habit of arguing another side just for the sake of arguing, it isn't in my nature to concede an opposing party's argument :-D

I agree, one could worry about a slipper slope mentality to separating site niches to be rated amongst themselves - it could quickly become confusing. However, there is a single difference between the adult 3D games and the other sites reviewed on Porn Users that I believe negates this argument. The games are an entirely different medium, sure both can be viewed on a computer monitor, but the games are an interactive experience that requires user input. If there were more companies dedicated to producing adult games, I would recommend that sites like 3D Sex Games not be allowed to be review on Porn Users as it isn't a passive entertainment medium, like videos, photos and stories. That interaction that changes the experience at the users request makes it in many ways tougher to review.
I will grant you it is related, you are still viewing porn, but I think the experience is significantly enough different that it makes it quite difficult to compare. Separating "ATM from Anal", as you suggested is like saying you only review Hollywood comedies and not SciFi, or station wagons and not sedans (estates and not saloons, for our UK members). They are the same medium and narrowing down by niche that much on a user review site could be trouble.
Still, it is difficult to decide where to draw the line. For at the same time, despite being of different mediums, both an adult content website and an adult video game are trying to provide you with pornographic entertainment, so in that sense they are related. How they try to entertain you is significantly different, but the goal is largely the same.
On the other hand, I suppose I may have simply enjoyed messing about in 3D Sex Games more than you did. As you said - that is what the site is for. I hardly think the game is perfect, but I do think it is quite a laugh and a great time waster. I've said in the past that the numeric score is the most dreaded part of the review for me, I fight with myself over it for hours - in the end, perhaps I got it wrong on this one. I don't know. I would recommend the site to most people, but I'd certainly recommend MET-Art more. It is tough - I wish we just used a bloody 5 star rating system, lol

I'll agree with you that the human reaction to the animation and design of the models is better in Active Dolls - they are simply far more endearing. At some points the models and animations of 3D Sex Games suffers from falling into the Uncanny Valley. I had latched on to your statement of the "3D Game Engine", which generally ignores the aesthetic of the animation and model design, instead referring to the technological architecture that makes it possible. In that regard I would say the games are relatively equal - and far surpassed by 3D Stripper.
As for the rating, I personally see this as such a different animal from other adult sites that it seems difficult if not impossible to compare it with the likes of VideoBox or MET-Art. How does one give Pac-Man a rating in relation to Ghost Busters the movie? Both have plots involving the removal of ghosts, but they are so different that the scores wouldn't make any sense. "Buy a Ford Mustang, it has more moving parts than a banana."
I believe that if a user is contemplating joining a 3D adult game site - they are looking for just that, a fully interactive 3D game, not just any form of adult entertainment. In that regard I think both 3D Sex Games and Active Dolls are among the best available choices and deserve high marks.

asmith12's Review
from Toadsith:
I've used 3D Sex Games for years, so the control issue was never an issue for me, but I see how it can be deemed confusing. However, of all the sex simulation games I've encountered, I personally found it to be the best. With only the mouse, you can control every aspect of the game. Moving / rotating / zooming the camera, switching poses, modifying the speed of the action (or directly controlling it) - all these can be done on the fly without finding any keyboard keys. There is a bit of a learning curve, but compared to other programs that have the characters trying to walk around or keys needing to be pressed in conjunction with mouse movement to simply zoom out - I find 3D Sex Games' control system far superior.
I would agree that the animation leaves something to be desired, especially facial animation - it is all hand animated, and while that provides a certain fluidity to the repetition of the action, it doesn't provide it with as much natural movement. Mo-cap might aid it, though I've seen mo-cap fail as well.
I've very surprised to see your preference for the graphics provided by Active Dolls. Their models are far stranger looking - not remotely human (more Anime styled), it only supports 4 different video resolutions (1280 x 1024 not being one of them) and texturing and lighting are quite simplistic - I would say on par with 3D Sex Games. I would totally understand if you stated 3D Stripper had a superior graphics engine, as it does. Projected shadows, bump mapping, a 3D model body & face designed by the same guy that designed the faces for Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. That game has many problems of its own though.
I guess I see 3D Sex Games as having the largest selection of options and activities of all the games while having reasonably good graphics and a somewhat regular update schedule. All in all, in my opinion, this makes it the best of games available and I graded it as I did in relation to the performance of its peers.

A very good and very accurate review! I had taken out a long term subscription because the price was right and regretted it almost from the start. They did well in the beginning because there was much more stripping while they read the news and I was highly displeased to discover (and told them so) that they started off nude or wore a suit jacket that could be shed in five seconds way too often. I don't think I watched their show more than two times a week during the last two months of my subscription. And if Victoria Sinclair, the main anchor, started off nude, the show wouldn't last any longer than that. Instant switch to something else.

Good point, bro...
If we all give them a "penalty" - of, yes like 10 points (or whatever) - but something they could "feel" - it's would be a good idea...
Think I'll go with you there - and I'm sure both webmasters and billing-co. will read it...

>> PU admins, is there any chance to change it?
We could but it wouldn't make much difference. Because of the layout of their home page (a large photo at the top of the page) the new screen cap would be virtually the same as this one just with a different picture. Our screen caps basically take a snap-shot of what is "above the fold" (one screen full).
FEMJOY changes the picture at the top of their home page fairly often. Still, the screen cap we have is representative of what one will find when visiting the site.

When I joined Hustler a while back, one of the very first site I joined, i got hit with this. It was just by chance that I found out that it had happened.
There really is no defense for this practice. It is just a to screw people over when they are all excited to join a site and do not read everything. Seriously though, if I wanted to join the other site they are offering wouldn't go to that site? Or, why not just give access to that site with the membership? Humm...I know....they get more money for nothing this way!
