I noticed you guys when buying ps4 games will first ask the seller whether it is r3 games or not. Why is it important to you? What will happen if the game is not r3 ?

Sry I am still new to ps4 world...

Different Region Explanation
The different region signify where the game is being made for.
R1 = US | R2 = Europe | R3 = Asia (SG/Msia/HK/Korea/Jap) | R4 = Australia & Oceania

There is no difference in the gameplay. However, different regions may or may not have the same:
Box Art | Downloadable Contents (DLC) | Voiceovers & Subtitles | Online Servers | Pricing

Conclusion

If you do not play online or just want to play the game itself, region does not matter. Just buy the cheapest version!
If you have preference between DLC/Cover/Languages, please do more research as it varies from game to game!

Yes you can.
But be careful when you buy a DLC online.
It might not be compatible.

The save files/cross saves are also different.

As previous poster said, mostly if you’re casual you just go with r3 for convenience. Sometimes people buy different regions because of exclusives, alternate artwork or different voiceovers for some Japanese games

If you have r2 region psn account yes. You can just simply make one and redeem the dlc code. Then proceed to use your main psn account and play it, the dlc will be in the game.

If you bought digital, depends on which region your account was created. If you bought physical disc, it should be at the back cover of the game.
