Anybody else underwhelmed by releases the past 2 weeks?

[MackZatis]

I know I am. They just seem VERY ho-hum.... Also seem to be fewer (core/legacy) despite the growing mountain of horse-shit that is the PornBox storefront.
Sure in the past 2 weeks there have been some releases I'm interested in (probably 5 or less), & check the trailers. But the rest I don't even bother.
Prior to these past 2 weeks, all studios releases were straight up on fire. For like a month straight (so like 6 weeks ago to 2 weeks ago). To me at least. I know this is totally subjective, but wondering how alone or not I am in this feeling/thought....

i think there has been a couple of very worthy scenes

edit, i cant believe I am saying this but I did not purchase the last Miss Syren De Mer video as I was slightly underwhelmed by the trailer

[Ultra-Gape]

It's going to depend what anyone's looking for, but going by trailers AGO seem to have put out a few scenes in the last 14 days that I'd thought would appeal to many?

I've not bought either yet but I may get one or both of these at some point (tickets allowing):

[obelix.courageux]

When I first joined, I had to buy extra tickets to get everything I wanted. But now, the videos are so repetitive that the urge to buy isn't there anymore. I'm still waiting for some women-only pee videos, as that would be different and would make me want to buy.

[drevokocur66]

The only bright spot has been Angelo studio with real pussy CP, and some ATM, ATP action. Also the Angelo Dellai scene was not bad. Yummy had the super hot Mina and Polly scene. The rest have been the usual cookie cutter, checklist porn, DAP TAP borefests. Tip fucking, piss dodging, fake CP (honestly GIO, can't you come up with something more cum creative than a fake CP? I mean I know it costs less vs a real cumshot, but it is just getting disturbing.)

[dap-addict]

I have voted KINDA.
Was away a bit on internet detox and when I got back after almost exactly those 2 weeks you refer to I had to re-charge 1,5 times to get what I wanted. Is that good or bad? Is my porn glass half full or half empty?
This said I'm definitely waiting for the recent Colombian imports to really show off in releases! That will make AVLP sure better again!

[MackZatis]

Too much to quote in a post for me, (plus I'm on mobile currently) so I'll just say a name and respond.
feverfever: I got a fever & the only prescription is more cowbell!!! Maybe you get it. Maybe you don't.
Regardless. While I don't really share the sames tastes as you, I am a HUGE fan of Laura Fiorentino (Dap-A can verify) and Avery for that matter, but not really fan of 2 girl scenes. Especially Gio's of the past year or more. 95% are 2 part scenes, of them 99% are pt.1: 2 on 2. Pt. 2: 6 on 2. Yawn! Talk about repetitive. But regarding that scene(s) I actually forgot about that when making this. I really should've taken a look back at the releases before hand, but honestly I didn't. Probably not the best way to give validity to my statement, but here we are... Also I previously posted in Laura's thread about needing a/some/more solo scenes (she can easily carry the whole scene NO PROBLEM) but again Herr we are. Yet another 2 girl 2 part scene with performers that can easily carry & furthermore desirve the whole scene to them self. But that won't make as much money for Mr. GG now will it....
Another scene you mentioned is the Kristy & Manea scene. While I absolutely LOVE anything Kristy (and her absence of releases is noticeable and also unbearable) and like Manea just fine. I wasn't in on this scene for a few reasons. Again 2 girl. But at least the pairing makes sense. "Booty booty booty everywhere!" Didn't care much for the how & where it was shot. Plus didn't care for Manea in this scene.
I do love me some Veronica Leal, but not Megan V. An odd pairing to me. I haven't checked her profile. But I believe Megan has been absent quite a while. An odd return scene if so. But also (and I KNOW Dap-A agrees) Veronica's sudden graduation to DAP (for several scenes too) was long awaited, much requested, and was an amazing surprise. Her even more sudden departure from it and the quitness about it even more surprising, to me at least. So no not interested there.
I'll admit the Syren release does intrigue me. I'm on boycott from GIO for multiple reasons. And I will not give in for any performer no matter how much I'm into them. I'm aware that I alone won't be missed or even noticed, and that's how anybody else unhappy with him will self justify and then go buy his stuff right after. But I have pride and self controll. Besides I have at least 5 scenes that are for all intents and purposes, IDENTICAL.
Miss Jada, while she does fit the bill for my preferred type, she just doesn't. It subjective obviously but I find her performances pretty disingenuous and boring.... NO offense to her. I totally commend the effort and dedication. And I totally hope to be proven wrong and be a late convert to her. But as of now. I'm not in to her.
The rest you listed, Nope.

Ultra-Gape & drevokocur66. Yes Angleo has been a very bright spot in these darker of times. But I find his stuff very hit or miss. Like either knocks it out of the park, or grounds into inning ending double play... plus he needs his own "thing" for the most part everything is a copy of what he performed in at Gio's and relys on that too stuff too much. Plus the lighting can be gawd awful. I don't think there is ANY source of natural light in his studio. The color balance is off. And the wardrobe, uggghhhh. I'm generally in favor of that asthethic but not EVERY scene.
The good from his studio though is that he pulls in preem female talent, no doubt from a good working relationship on set. Despite him going a bit egomaniacial/male aggressor sometimes he seemed to be pretty affectionate and respective of boundaries towards the females.
Dap-A:
Thats seems about on par for you purchase wise. Id imagine Not being around for 2 weeks and all will also give you a feeling of like you've been missing out and have to catch up. Also probably makes the content seem much better than it might actually be due to "withdrawal". If that even the appropriate wording...

[Ultra-Gape]

This obviously won't appeal to DAP fans but this scene also looks good to me:

https://pornbox.com/application/watch-page/138978

[netzerkaiser]

I don't feel I could ever criticise LP| AV / XXX | Giorgio for not doing their best at all times for their customers. I really feel integrity & effort can never be questioned.

What I do feel has been a massive error was moving from 'vanilla' days in style of Sineplex | GG | Sineplex CZ to the entire circusy, & dare I say it, HOMOEROTIC vein of DAP onwards.

Immediately, about 5 years ago, it was as though some of the influential thinkers behind LP| AV decided perhaps to project perhaps - this is conjecture... that perhaps their own sexual tastes were shared by all who were admirers of aforementioned Sineplex | GG | Sineplex CZ, & Omar etc...

I think this was a big mistake. I remember I saw a clip of Jane Darling walking up a stairs showing her ass cleavage oscillating as she moved that was more erotic than anything... then you had the whole nonsense talk of Le Castel's Guckmal which was also a crazy turn-on etc... but I digress..

Somewhere LP| AV I feel, decided that a niche taste, DAP | TAP was to be the core, the selling point that separated LP | AV from competition... a bit like John Thompsons GGG.

But LP | AV with its glorious back catalogue was undervaluing the clout & respect its back catalogue gave it by choosing an extreme niche as its selling point that separated it from others.

The only way of finding out for sure would be, by email, to invite ALL PAYING MEMBERS to a questionaire regarding their preferences, hopes, what they'd like to see etc... the silent majority who never post.

Its the only way to really find out where this should go.

I suppose ultimately the sales data tells studios what is in demand, and what isn't. I'm not a fan of DAP myself but for those that are I'm sure this site remains the single best place for content (although not the only one). Like you I'll obviously try to encourage more content that I like to be made but I wouldn't begrudge others with different tastes having content made that suits them. Not saying you were by the way but just making the point for balance.

Understood. I don't begrudge either Brother. Each to their own, but not build empire around niche taste... for me, no.

[Ultra-Gape]

What I'd personally like to see less of is piss (specifically male piss) since even with dry versions this can detract from many scenes that I'd otherwise be interested in. Again though I rather suspect that sales data shows that this sells.

[dap-addict]

Netzer, DAP was niche taste and content until around 2015 in porn.
Thanks to fan pressure and online lobbying it than got into kinda mainstream of anal hardcore porn, at least on than LP and now AV/Pornbox. At the same time majority of Pornbox offers are still non-DAP. Even taken AVLP main studios I dont remember many days in 2022 when DAP content was in a majority of videos released.

Last but not least even heavily DAP-geared studios like GIO or AGO release a lot of DP or 1on1 only scenes without DAP.

[obelix.courageux]

I was glad to see that today's new releases included a wife peeing into her husband's mouth. Diversity is good. I applaud that studio for offering something different.

[jerrybb]

We are in a world economic crisis,we have just come out of a pandemic, massive fuel crisis. Porn is still good but you can maybe tell that there's a lot more
single girl scenes. Would be interested to see the stats if anyone has them.
