| Pros: |
- Attractive models.
- Tasteful settings.
- Nicely filmed, but a con at times.
- Photo zips, too.
- Quite often enthusiastic and believable action. The scenes with Szilvia Lauren are possibly worth the price of admission. Holy cow.
- Epoch as a secondary biller.
- No download limits that I could tell.
- Decent size site. 70+ pages of 12 scenes per page. |
| Cons: |
- Navigation
- Questionable lighting and cinematography at times
- Not much visual difference to my eyes between 720p and 1080p videos
- Download managers are mostly useless.
- No photo quality options
- CONSTANT login requests.
- Not necessarily a con for everyone, but pretty much all white girls. Quite a few extremely attractive white girls, mind you, but don't expect too much variation beyond blonde, brunette, and redheads.
- Tasteful lighting and filming, but some scenes are just a step above late night movies on Cinemax. |
| Bottom Line: |
A nice looking glamcore site that I'd been considering for a while, and I'm pleased overall with the content and glad I finally gave it a shot. Quite a few scenes looked like they could have some sort of relationship with the crew responsible for filming some of the Sexyhub /Dane Jones sites.
BUT...
- Constant login requests.
At one point it let me choose a video, choose the download option, and immediately logged me out after clicking the 720p option. The video didn't begin to download and I had to re-login after the next click one or two seconds after choosing the video.
Inexcusable.
- Worse still were the login requests that led to an "Oops! It's broken! Try again later" page that was there after refreshing the page without needing to log in again.
- Poor navigation.
Want to see all the models in alphabetical order?
Go to the "Models" pulldown, and look for the... wait, there's not an option. Only "Top Rated, Most Viewed, etc." So you click on "Top Rated" and see that there's another pulldown on the following page that has "All" under the "Sort By" option.
And a few days later, after one of your dozens of login requests, you realize the "Models" pulldown button itself is a link to all the models.
- Dead links
I suspect these are related to their attempts at site security and their constant login requests.
Lots of 404 "Page Not Found" errors even when you're logged in and not prompted to log in again.
Click on a video and the 404 error comes up. Hit page refresh/f5 a moment later and the page is fine. Very irritating.
- Encoding
The 480p videos really seem to be the sweet spot for size and quality. I was surprised that the 1080p clips don't look that much better than the 720p ones in most cases. I suspect it has to do with the lighting and whatever filters they use to soften and romanticize the clips.
- Download managers work if you consider "work" to just mean "they can be used to download a few clips simultaneously just like if you didn't use one." The system logs you out so frequently that any clips that take more than a few minutes to begin will fault out and download a "default.htm" result. The site *will* allow you to resume a clip that's only halfway downloaded, though, so that's a plus, but I wouldn't say download managers really, truly work with this site. Not in the sense that you can load up the night before and wake up the next morning with a dozen completions.
-Bottom line-
A pretty good if occasionally irritating glamcore site. Lots of nice looking "couples" filmed in soft lighting with good backgrounds. Lots of solo and lesbian scenes (I'd guess over half of all scenes), and apparently very capable hair and makeup artists since I saw some actresses I don't often find attractive that looked quite nice in their scenes.
I'd join again.
*** To get to Epoch as the biller, (thanks and credit goes to malikstarks for the tip re: Bangbros user comments):
If Epoch isn't the primary biller, enter everything correctly except for your credit card's expiration date on the initial purchase page. Make it a year in the future, and the system will reject it. Do it two or so more times and they'll send you to the Epoch site.*** |
