| Pros: |
- One of the biggest networks on the internet. As of 4/18/2016, there are 45 sites included in membership.
- One of the best networks for those who like a racially diverse mix of models.
- Nearly every possible genre is covered to some extent.
- 720p videos or higher have been available since late 2009.
- Averages two updates per day across the network. Pictures and screencaps are included with most videos and are downloadable in zips.
- Can't believe I'm putting this as a pro, but they have a "lock" icon on the scenes that are not included in standard membership.
- This is purely subjective, but I still find their humor to be a plus. Some of the scenes are so corny (in story) that I can't imagine a great actor acting out the parts.
- They're really good at what they do. Which can become formulaic, but at least they bring in top talent.
- Some fairly unique and "fun" sites like Money Talks and CFNM Secret. |
| Cons: |
- Download limits, though I disagree with them, they are at least now clear about what the limits are and are at least good about unlocking your account 24 hours after you hit the limit for the day. It's also consistent now, unlike how it used to be.
- Ads, ads and more ads. They've got ads mixed in with the scenes. Ads in the margin. Ads in the header. And the forced ad when you login. They used to annoy me, but if it keeps the price low it eventually becomes not as bad.
- 45 sites is a lot. Quite a few of those don't update and haven't updated in years. Not for sure why they don't create an archive and just stick all those in it instead of keeping the individual sites active with no updates. Will cover those in Bottom Line.
- If cameraman talking, guys being silly bothers you, you will have some problems with this network. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've never been able to be overly-critical of Reality Kings. The amount of exclusive content. The varied genres, races of models, just always seemed more thorough than the other big networks. I still feel that way.
I know there's lots of reviews of Reality Kings and quite a bit of negativity towards them, but I've not had any problems with their network. The download limit is frustrating, but I've learned to workaround it now that they've made it consistent and simple to understand. I do want to say there's two different listings of the download limits. One says 50 movie scenes per day. The other says 10 GB a day. Over the last few weeks, I've hit the download limit twice and both times it was after downloading 50 full scenes, both of those times were well over 10 GB, so I'm going with the 50 full scenes explanation as it's on their site. That's a lot of porn. You could easily download 300 GB+ in a month at that rate.
The biggest draw for me has always been the diverse models. There's slim, medium, very curvy, nearly every race and I prefer that variety over one standard type of model. Like most, I sometimes get annoyed by the guys talking, but other times it's kind of funny. It reminds me a lot of the guys I grew up with. You even get some ongoing humor from the regular male talent like J-Mac and his line about being in college. He's been using that line with the college girls for about 10 years now.
The technical aspects of the site are very good, but like a lot of sites, they started counting "HD" when it was 720p, so it's almost impossible to see when they started doing 1080p, but all of the newest scenes have 1080p and 720p started roughly in October 2009. I've always complained about networks that count their sites so they can advertise "we have X amount of sites". Reality Kings does that too; I'm going to list the active ones.
Actively updating: Money Talks, Cum Fiesta, 8th Street Latinas, Round and Brown, MILF Hunter, We Live Together, Mike's Apartment, Big Naturals, Monster Curves, Mike In Brazil, Happy Tugs (March 2016 last update so questionable), MILF Next Door (March 2016 last update so questionable), First Time Auditions, Euro Sex Parties, Street Blowjobs, Moms Bang Teens, Moms Lick Teens, Teens Love Huge Cocks, Tranny Surprise and RK Prime.
So, that's 20 active sites with 25 inactive sites. There's a few, as noted above, that haven't updated in at least a month, but look to use roughly a monthly release schedule so there could be more updates coming with those.
I actually think 20 active sites would be a better way to advertise since there are so many networks these days with less than 10 active sites, but 45 sounds better to new members.
As a notice to others, they, like Bang Bros, did buy some popular amateur sites that went broke and have all the content from those included in the network and are counting those in their sites. Some of those sites have very good content on them, but haven't updated since the mid-2000s. Which also means you take a big hit in technical quality on those sites.
I do like the newer sites they've added over the last few years. The Moms Bang Teens site has a lot of Brandi Love content and if you're not familiar with her she's one of the better porn models these days. Great energy and believable. The high score is also justified, in my mind, by them having multiple sites that are in the top 2-3 of their genre. Those are:
We Live Together (Lesbian)
MILF Hunter (MILF)
Moms Bang Teens and Moms Lick Teens (Older with Younger)
8th Street Latinas and Mike in Brazil (Latina)
CFNM Secret* (CFNM)
Mike's Apartment (Euro)
In the VIP* (Group/Orgy)
Money Talks (Reality/Humor)
* - Not updating
I haven't had enough time to tell if their newest one, RK Prime, is going to be a success or not. From the handful of scenes they have up so far it looks like a typical gonzo/location site with some voyeurism thrown in. The scenes I've watched from it are good, but I don't know if it will do as good as Moms Bang Teens. And that is what I've always preferred about RK over the other networks. They seem to be a little ahead of the curve and try to do unique things with their content. I've always wondered when someone would try a site with a voyeur watching a couple have sex and RK Prime goes into that. It's far from an original idea, but you don't see it very often these days. I remember Vivid having an entire DVD series "The Watcher" that was extremely popular in the late 90s/early 2000s, but very few if any sites/studios have tried it since.
It has its faults, but if you pay attention, they've made it near impossible to click a scene you don't have access to and the download limits aren't near as bad as they used to be. I've said it before and still believe it, if the content wasn't good, we wouldn't be bothered by the download limits. To me, it's still the best of the American-based networks. |
