| Pros: |
- Not only one of the first sites/networks I ever joined, but was at one time, my favorite.
- Enough content to keep anyone busy, easily one of the largest sites on the internet.
- The models. Especially if you like glam models.
- Once easy to use navigation is now more complicated by the "network" concept, but it's still usable and works well once you figure it out.
- Download speeds are average. |
| Cons: |
- Joining and canceling is typical MindGeek nonsense. They moved pre-checked sales lower down the screen and replaced them with what you're paying today, so it takes a scroll to see the pre-checked ones. Canceling doesn't send a receipt email.
- Those "average" download speeds have dropped as low as 50% below my average at times, but have also been as high as 50% higher than my average at other times.
- The site/network no longer has any character or uniqueness to it, something it used to be known for.
- Costs extra to download |
| Bottom Line: |
There was a time when I would join Twistys for one year and be completely satisfied with it. I joined this time on 4/29/2017 and can say, I haven't been on the site since 5/10.
The content isn't really the problem. Very pretty models. It's just that it's no different than what you're going to find anywhere else or for that matter, on a DVD site. It's easy to blame the dropoff of Twistys on MindGeek now owning it, but that's not the only problem.
The quality, if you pay extra for downloads, is very good. There's HD videos dating back 7-8 years, photos are zipped, technically it's as good as it always was.
The insistence of making it a network is silly. I know that the old owner Shap tried the network concept, but never pushed it the way it's being pushed now. The old style was as simple as clicking on a "site" which the name told the genre of. Now, the scenes are dropped into a hub and you have to trust their judgement of what is Hard, Lesbian, Solo, hopefully the love of networks will try to navigate its way out of that mess and get lost.
I still think it's a good site, especially for new or newer members. The older content, 2007-2011, is very good, maybe not the highest technical quality, but there was more oomph to the content. If you like interviews, the old interviews on here are some of the best. If you like solo, the older solo videos are as good as anyone's. It's that newer content that's a problem.
Guy walks in, girl gets naked, sex, scene over. If I can find any positives about the newer content it is in some of the solo scenes. The hardcore scenes feel like Brazzers Light. I really don't think the newer good solo scenes are that much better, I think it all depends on the models.
Also, if you're a past fan of Twisty's pictures, they're still good. Somehow, they didn't mess with the lighting/coolness Twisty's pictures are known for and that includes newer picture sets as well.
If you're new to Twistys or just going back to get some old favorites, you'll like it well enough, but if you're a longtime member and have a hard drive stash of the old content, I don't recommend it, not even for a month. |
