OVERVIEW
--------------------------------------------------
The best word to describe this site is INCONSISTENT, which makes it a bit tricky to score. Want the sharpest looking VR videos currently available for Nicole Aniston, Megan Rain, Anna Bell Peaks, Lily Adams, or Aletta Ocean? You'll find them here. Want some of the worst looking VR videos available? I'm afraid those are here too.
VIDEO QUALITY / CONTENT
--------------------------------------------------
There are a handful of really great scenes on this site. Most are 3840x1920 for 180 videos though some are also offered in 360 which use 3840x3840. There's a good mix of US/European models doing b/g, g/g, and solo scenes. The more recent videos produced in house can look extremely good. Partly this is because they use HEVC to encode their videos, but I'm sure it also has to do with the way they are filmed and edited.
Unfortunately not all videos are shot in house. In fact a number of the videos are not exclusive to this site at all. For example, since December there have been 5 updates that are videos from JVRPorn. I'm sure anyone who was/is a member of JVRPorn must feel especially burned having to pay for these videos twice. Having not joined that site, I would have been OK with uncensored Japanese videos provided they were of similar quality to the in house videos. But they are not. The 3D is off and the scale makes everyone look miniature. IMO they're basically throwaways. Some of the older videos on this site are even in 2D. They literally have 2D VR videos, which is...pretty bad.
File sizes tend to be unusually small for VR. A giant video for this site might be 5GB, but that's unusual. 2-3GB is more common and I've seen some < 1.5GB, which again for VR, is tiny. This is partly because they use HEVC, and partly because they seem to have an unwritten rule that scenes should be < 30 minutes if possible.
Many VR sites do a special Holiday scene at the end of the year. This year's Holiday scene was a good example of the VRBanger's experience. They broke it into 2 separate updates (don't wanna go over 30 minutes remember). Part 1 came out 12/25 (26 min). It was good, but not a full scene. On 12/29 they released part 2. But they released Part 2 in 2D, making it pretty terrible. Part 2 has since been taken down as their editors were unable to fix it. Compare this with CzechVR which released a full 49+ minute 5K Holiday video free for all to download.
I think they are updating 2X a week right now, but I'm not certain. Naughty America puts out a VR video on Monday & Friday like clockwork, but with VRBangers I never really know. The update schedule is inconsistent. And when they do update you don't know if it will be a great in house video or a terrible JVRPorn re-run.
UI
--------------------------------------------------
The site has an excellent filtering system, but has no user ratings, comments, or feedback options of any kind. Videos are dated when browsing, but oddly when you go to the video's page the date is missing and instead shows the current date. The UI is certainly functional, looks decent, & includes nice cover art for each scene.
CONCLUSION
--------------------------------------------------
This could be a great site, but currently I don't think it is. I wouldn't discourage someone from joining, but go in knowing what you'll get...A few diamonds and a whole lot of rough. |
