Played hundreds of hours online and I only got like two accolades so far. Never used it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Chipotle Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I actually never found someone that used this, i have some ps5 multiplayer games but i was never invited or motivated to use the feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zid960 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Going that it was for ps5 only mp games. I never could give them out as i mainly played the ps4 version of things. Pule who looks at everyone profile before starting a match? Only time i even look at someone is when i was getting beat into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Alchemist Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) I'm a little surprised by the sheer number of people who straight up never knew this existed lol. I get it's a pointless feature, but PlayStation did at least touch on it once or twice, either through a blog post or a video I can't remember exactly, it might have been when they were revealing the PS5 UI, and it also has it's own little section on your profile overview, it's pretty hard to miss where they have it placed to be fair. I guess people don't go to their profile that often? lmao. The real problem is that it was just totally pointless, even if people knew it was there. Only a handful of games supported it, and even then it was hit or miss because the implementation would be different across games. It could be fairly simplistic or it could be hideously complicated, or hidden entirely. In Ride 4 for example, after a race you would need to press L1 or something and then select the player you wanted to reward, but you only ever had about 5 seconds to do all of this, and I distinctly remember it not even working most of the time. It's so dumb because what does having accolades even prove? It isn't an accurate way to judge who is a good sport and who is toxic. I feel like PS5 has a slight problem in general when it comes to it's more niche features. Things like the accolades, the cards system etc. It mostly comes down to a) these things not being mandatory and b even when they are included in a game it's usually an inconsistent experience because in most cases the devs will just do the bare minimum and do whatever they feel like. It creates a disjointed experience for the player. There needs to be a unified approach to these things. Even if they aren't mandatory, fair enough, but if devs are going to include these things then Sony needs to step in and say you must follow guidelines and implement them in such a way. I think that would be far better than the current approach which is scattershot at best. If not then I can easily see more features being removed in the near future. PS Plus game help is the only feature (when included in games) that actually works as intended, serves a purpose, and is genuinely useful.

ImStylinOnYaBro Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 pretty pointless to have it if it's not required to be integrated in a game. boosted friday the 13th on ps5, no accolades support. won't miss it. never saw anyone who even had one on my list.

Sushi_Combo Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The MP games I played on were mostly ps4 games and never saw these accolades appear. Sony should have worked a little more to bring more awareness to the feature imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGarland Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Sad to see it go, even though I didn't get to enjoy it too much. The only game where I got those were from Destruction AllStars and I usually got those whenever I placed 2nd or 3rd place. I really wished games such as Knockout City had that feature, as it would've been more fitting in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranquility101 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Is there a way to find out where you got accolades from? When I bought my PS5 I already had about 4~ of them, but I don't remember joining any online games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGallethX3 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Not really useful at all if you dont even play MP games, not to mention only maybe a handful of games even cared enough to put this in their game. haha Glad this is removed, maybe that space now on our psn profile can be used for something better like marking our favorite game, or trophy..

hailurez Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I knew it existed, but I barely played MP games, so I never got any accolades. I am curious if they'll replace it with something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first thing I thought too. I was initially thinking they'd expand the profiles somehow, but this makes more sense as a matter of just repurposing reserved space.

The Alchemist Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Yeah they're officially gone now, replaced with a 'most played' section in the profile overview. I can't say the accolades feature will be missed by too many people, it isn't something I've ever cared about either tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sad to see it go as i have a few accolades ?. I bet people thought same about the trophy system at first (i did) but its changed the way people game I like the activity cards sometimes as its nice to know how long a mission is or its a quick way to get into a certain mission/activity In my experience, trophies were interesting from the start because if you really liked a game it gave you more incentives to keep playing it and discover everything the game has plus something to "show" as a reward. This is useless tbh, most people wont even bother to use it. They got rid of actual useful features like communities, which for hispanic users it was really useful to boost trophies or just find people to play with since a percentage of the player base isnt invested in trophy hunting boards or discord servers.
