I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
Or having to get Japanese PSNbux to buy the SIMPLE Mahjong they have for the PS4.

Which I did. It's good and worth it if you like Mahjong.

With people complaining that the U.S. I'm PS+ not getting a port of an old Mahjong game, I really feel at this point people are bitching about this for the sake of bitching about it.

I will probably buy that PS4 Mahjong game off the Japanese PSN because there are no stand alone mahjong games in English on the PSN.

I would play mahjong on a PS4. I tried learning it on a PC in a browser thing with other players but it's a hard website to navigate and a difficult game to learn.

Nope. As far as I'm aware there aren't any Japanese language only games on the US PSN.

That said, I definitely recommend the PS4 one. It's easy enough to get around the menus, and worse case there's a good TL guide up on gamefaqs for it. If enough people are actually interested I can make a goon community for it.

There's actually quite a few PS1 Classics that are released on US PSN.

It's more that I live in Australia and I'm stuck with ADSL2 while 3km out from the exchange and with a bad line that Telstra refuses to do anything about, so my download speed caps out at like 600KB/s, period. It took a long time to download Diablo 3 and then it turned out I got the non-English version because they're named the same in the PS4 Library :shepface:

Neat?

According to the latest Unicode manifest the tarot aren't there yet. Standard casino card deck (with also knights, which aren't in most decks) is there, though. Odd omission. Also there isn't a fifth suit so no Johnnying.

Mahjong (not the matching game) confuses the hell out of me especially with scoring. It doesn't help that anytime I have ever played it, it's been in Japanese. Not sure if I would have the patience to try it these days.

The scoring is by far the hardest part, and video games take care of that.

Basically in Japanese Mahjong (the only kind worth playing) you're trying to get 4 3-of-a-kinds/3 tile straights, and one pair to complete a hand. Different hands have different point values. There are also some rules about throwing tiles away and which tiles you can/can't win off of. That's glossing over a lot of the finer points, but it's enough to get started with.

It's a really fun game, especially playing it in-person.

Why are the PS+ games always so poo poo on PS4? Every month its the same thing - A faux retro Contra clone, a lovely game where you fly around in 2d and a somehow less-fun rip-off of Terraria.

Does Broforce seriously have no music at all? I know games have been moving away from catchy tunes and towards ambience, but come on. Some chiptune loops coulda at least been a redeeming feature.

Aren't weapons fire, explosions, and the screaming enemies music enough? Plus there's the shredding guitar solo after you liberate an area

Chrissakes, if it wasn't for PS Plus we'd still be paying our $50 a year for multiplayer, a paywall, and nothing else and be happy for it. We may not get old Assassin's Creed games every month, but we do get a couple of indie games. Some of them you might like, and some you won't. It's a whole lot better than the nothing I got for my years of Xbox Gold on Xbox 360.

Just so sick of the endless whining.

That said, this months batch are kinda fun for me. Galak-Z gets pretty tough pretty quick, but it's the best Battlestar Galactica game I've ever played.

Yeah, I was a bit irked by all of the uninformed bitching last month. I paid for Helldivers twice (digital and then disc) because I liked it so much. When it was announced for PS+, I didn't bemoan the fact that I'd "missed out" on getting it for free; I rejoiced in knowing so many others would soon get to enjoy it, too!
And then the "I want $60 titles for free" crowd showed up and started complaining. :barf:
