|
| Pros: |
New releases everyday, sales are frequent and generally coincide with the holidays, features high quality-ish videos |
| Cons: |
limited downloads with additional subscription fee, no dedicated photosets only screenshots, minor detail - cannot see upcoming scenes, older scenes missing, playback issues throughout |
| Bottom Line: |
***New Revisited Update***
Brazzers is a highly regarded studio in the industry featuring scenes that have the top models from year-to-year. Somewhere along the line things changed. For the better? Worse? Hard to say. From my perspective it seems that changes were made to protect a bottom line instead of looking out for the stakeholders.
While updates are happening everyday, they are inconsistent. What was commonplace to expect two updates per day from the site now is a mix of one or two updates. On top of that, an update could mean that you get a compilation of previous scenes based on what it is that they want to feature. The compilations aren’t bad, but considering it a “scene release update” is not what was signed up for. That is something that could be posted to your tube site of your choosing to help promote your site, not a paid update. The quality of the videos are not bad. They definitely aren’t quite what someone would expect for 4K quality, but it is good enough. The new scenes, from an editing viewpoint, follow and use the same graphics over and over. This is a far departure of how things were for intros in the 2010s.
The organization of the site at the advent of the changes to having a larger storefront and additions of a litany of different studios created some results that are less than desired. Subsites aren’t really a thing anymore with this site. Teens Like it Big, Baby Got Boobs, Big Wet Butts, etc. were some favorites that still technically exist, but just get dumped into one site filter making it difficult to find favorites quickly. The writing was on the wall since the creation of a subsite called “Brazzers Exxxtras” started getting all the updates to have users get used to the idea of not using subsites to find what they want and using tags… Oh, the tags… So, so many with every scene anymore.
Photosets are nonexistent. When they are available, they are only screenshots. Which would make complete sense to do it this way in order to save on production costs if, and only if, the scenes were shot in 60 fps, in which they are not. The result is a blurry mess. Can we just go back to having legitimate photoshoots? Would it be possible to rewind time back to the late 2010s when that was a thing?
Downloads… Oh boy. Paying extra for downloads is an unfortunate trend. The fact that it is a feature to have “Unlimited Downloads” as a promotional item to sell your site is a bit jaw dropping given that it was a thing that was taken for granted as a given feature. Now, even after paying extra, you get restricted to the number of downloads you can have. The collectors out there are the unlucky ones as this trend continues to evolve.
Scene quality hasn’t necessarily dropped off, however there are some quirks that do appear in scenes that were never really a problem a few years ago. While the scene itself is good. The performers are some of the best you will see and put out a good product. The editing and post production is something that could be better. I cannot count how many times there were scenes that had the cameraman giving directions caught on the hot mic that was left in the final product. Or weird camera shots that were not edited out. The amount of fake cum that has shown up in scenes (granted that it is sometimes necessary depending on what the scene calls for) to finish it out.
Would I recommend it, yes and no. I’ve had a membership to this site off and on for the better part of the last 20 years. Knowing how the site started and was producing compared to what I see now is a little disappointing. Does it still put out a good product? Sure, if you are okay with the continuity errors that have become more frequent. The things that I was critical of are things that I would like to see return, but I won’t be holding my breath over it. |

2. Only Tarts (0)

|
| Pros: |
New releases (3/week), sales are frequent and generally coincide with the holidays, features high quality videos (4K or higher), Reasonable photosets, downloads available with subscription, settings are moderately customizable |
| Cons: |
Small library, access to only the site and not all company sites, lack of varied quality of life settings for video playback, no dedicated page for member cancellation (keep your “welcome” email for that handy) |
| Bottom Line: |
Only Tarts is primarily a Euro based site that features some of the newest and fastest rising stars in the industry. Only having, at the time of this review, a small library of scenes totaling ~500 scenes, what stands out most is the quality of scenes.
Navigation on the site is simplistic, without much in the way to distract you from finding or scanning through scenes. Pages are not cluttered with banners or sidebars, while it may be convenient if done right, the simple structure of the site is helpful with the navigatory accessories to distract or take up space on the page. Just a simple navigation bar across the top of the page is what you get. Once you select a scene, you will find the usual accessories of “like” and “favorite,” description, tags, related videos, and the hit or miss feature for some sites of a comments section. The video downloads and access to photos are simplified and easy to navigate. Models on the page are only of the female performer and not of the male, so sorry to those that want that.
The site does feature as one of the navigation tools of “Best Scenes” which is a nice touch. Only to go further in the videos page to be able to select and filter out the “Best Scenes of…” by year, all time, etc. Whatever timeframe you want to search. Being that the site launched in 2023, there isn’t much long-term use of this feature, but once the site accumulates more years, I see where this would be a useful feature. For now, it is just a nice quality of life feature. There are some, but not many 5K or 7K videos, but what I could tell is that all videos play at 60 fps and are all in 4K at the very least (lower qualities available, of course). The photo galleries are of decent quality (3000x2000) and generally are ample enough.
One unique item worth mentioning is in the individual video pages. Typically, with most sites, when you switch tabs or pages that are associated with the scene, the player window resets, thus making you start over or trying to find where you left off. I know, why would you do that, but sometimes you want to navigate around. Some sites will have a way for the video to keep playing in the background which also could lead to missing out on unique points in the scene. Not Only Tarts. When you interact with the scene’s contents, the video pauses ensuring that you can pick up where you left off when you were exploring.
The models are the site's biggest strengths. Primarily European/Foreign starlets but the “older” scenes do present some American ones. Solo content for some of the models are available and are marked as “...for OnlyTarts” in the scene title and tagged with a “Bonus” indicator. This is also the same for content that is tagged as lesbian.
Overall, Only Tarts is an impressive site with great production quality, attractive European/Foreign models, and a respectable library worth checking out especially when there are deals available. The critics are small and nitpicky, but not dealbreaking, thus making a recommendation for the site a simple one for anyone interested in this content. |

| Pros: |
Outstanding models and hardcore action
I paid extra for downloads and have not had any problems downloading
The network navigation works as it should
There are videos and image sets to download
Reality style scenes but you will need some fantasy to see the reality
Good production values, would not call it the top of professionalism, but it is good |
| Cons: |
A questionable past almost made me skip Reality Kings, but so far – I have had no problems
Production would be rated higher, but here’s why it is not; some of the scenes seemed doomed from the start |
| Bottom Line: |
Paying extra for downloads is becoming a norm not an exception and because the total price of a site and downloads is still within a reasonable range, I do not see a reason to be negative about the sites who practice this.
Reality Kings is one of those networks that could get just about any man’s, maybe even woman’s attention. Their female models are what we see in America as “hot”. There does not seem to be any apologies for that, The models are beautiful to look at and look like they would cost me or you, a year’s salary to date for a week. There is a blinginess about the models. The best part of that is when you find one who is more down to Earth, you have likely found your new favourite.
The scenes across the network rely on a basic sexual fetish to work. They have Latina sites, MILFs, anal, attempted game shows, reality shows, it is everything we are tired of seeing on mainstream television, but it is a little different when there is a beautiful nude woman in the scene.
With downloads, I have not run into any limits, but admittedly – only download 4-5 scenes a day. There is still a newness for me. I am still hunting and pecking, so to speak. The network’s navigation is good. I like that I can click on a model’s names and see all of her scenes, as long as those are accurate, but I do not know the network or models well-enough to know if these search by name results are accurate. I do know the model’s name I clicked on was featured in all the scenes the results brought up.
Images are an important part of porn for me, but probably not as important as they are to image collectors. I have noticed older scenes often have way more images than newer scenes. The images offered are of high quality and are zippered.
I have used the streaming feature despite having downloads enabled. I have gotten to the point that I stream a little of a scene before I download it. See con two, I found 15-20% of their scenes seem to be miscasted and you have a female model who is not into the niche or theme. I am surprised we do not see more of that even though I am not a big collector of hardcore so it’s possible I just have not watched enough hardcore to see this problem.
The other knock against the production is when the scenes have a set theme, but within 4 minutes of starting, the theme is completely lost. While I like spontaneous and even unscripted porn, if I am expecting a theme, I want to see that theme.
The models are what they are supposed to be. The models will draw in customers. Most of them are excellent at doing whatever the set theme is and give great performances. The male models are stereotypical porn star males. That is not a negative. The network as a whole puts an emphasis on the attractiveness of the female models and that could be my favorite part about it.
That leaves me with the question of if I would recommend it? I do. I experienced no problems downloading, canceling and found a good amount of high quality porn. I am still relatively new to American porn models and think Reality Kings does an exceptional job of showcasing the various ethnicities of America in all their hardcore glory. |
