Which game do you guys think will have better first week sales

Disgaea or Danganronpa?

Both are highly anticipated, genres very fit for the platform, priced comparably. Strategy games seem more popular on avarage than VNs on PC and there haven't been many J-SRPGS, but Danganronpa has a lot of word of mouth that Disgaea doesn't have (at least that's how it seems to me).

Opinions?

Definitely going to be Danganronpa. Disgaea will sell sell but it will be affected by the fact that its already a old game by now. Danganronpa is fairly recent and has a very vocal fanbase and there will be probably quite a lot of double dips.

Depends. I'd say Danganronpa dependings on the Euro price and also because of the discount.

Steam-GAF's Official Ambassador to Gaming-GAF
New cars, track variant, tutorials & career option being added for DiRT Rally console release

PC update also due in April to bring full parity between all three versions.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of DiRT Rally will feature brand new content previously unseen in the PC release, Codemasters has revealed.

Available at launch, the console versions will introduce a full gravel version of Pikes Peak, a series of video tutorials that aim to teach players the basics of driving a rally car, three new Colin McRae liveries and seven new cars:

  • Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak
  • Renault 5 Turbo
  • Renault Alpine A110
  • Opel Corsa Super 1600
  • Peugeot 207 S1600
  • Renault Clio S1600
  • Mini Classic Rallycross

A new option is also being added to the game's Career mode that allows players to purchase a Rallycross car from the beginning, letting them head straight into Rallycross events should they prefer to do that from the start. Up until now, the PC version had forced players to head directly into Rally events.

PC owners won't be missing out, though. In April, the PC version will be updated to include all of the content found in the console versions and - potentially - improvements to the game's performance, too.

"The key thing is that everything we're doing for this console version, any fixes that we're finding because we've suddenly got a larger QA team working on multiple platforms, any improvements that we're working to do with performance that can be brought back into the PC experience to make the PC game perform better, any content, like tutorials, new cars and tracks, they're all going to be brought in with an update when the console version releases," chief game designer Paul Coleman tells VideoGamer.com.

"So PC players will get complete parity with what the console players are getting. We're not leaving them in the dark. It was really important for us to do that."

Further updates are planned for the future, too, Coleman teases, although Codemasters has yet to reveal what they may include or when they're due to roll out.

DiRT Rally's day one 'Legend Edition', meanwhile, will feature a full-length documentary on the late rally champion Colin McRae. It isn't yet clear whether that content will also be available on PC.

DiRT Rally launches on PS4 and Xbox One on April 5.

talking about competition Dang and Disgaea aren't competing with each other being very different games, or are they? considering backlogs and whatnot.

I don't think they're directly competing, but the audiences probably have a good overlap. Just curious which one people think will have a better reception on PC:

A fightpad for me is competing with the chance to pick up those games ;-;

Hard to decide but the xbox 360 D-PAD is horrible and playing SFV with it will be a nightmare.

I could see Danganronpa doing real well out the gate. Here's hoping they both find a good audience on Steam.

xbox one controller has better d-pad. I haven't tried it yet with fighting games, but I can definitely say that it's better than xbox 360 d-pad

I'm playing Yakuza 5 and Bloodborne and don't expect to be done with either before April. When you only have less than an hour per day to play on average, beating huge games like these will take several months, no way around it.
Still not done with RE0 either.
In April it'll be all about Dark Souls 3 and Uncharted 4, not sure when I'll get to all the stuff being released in this trimester.

Disgaea usually has very dedicated but small fanbase, it's definition of niche games, being very time consuming, repetitive and grindy.
Dang seems to be easier enjoyed by everyone, not that I've played Dang (can't wait), but that's how I imagine it.

I must say I'm kinda afraid to pick Disgaea, it's such a major time sink.
edited: OTOH nobody forces me to replay it, but then why buy?

It's only about 200sek less than a madcatz SFV fightpad and about the same as a hori commander 4 (Actually it's the same in US, can't even find it for Sweden). Already have my 360 controller for other games I want to play with a controller so a fightpad is more what I'm looking for.

More comfortable than most controllers dpads and providing you use 'On Click' with high haptic feedback for cardinals it's not too bad. The real issue is the tiny size and location of the face buttons on the Steam Controller. You could probably be decent with it if you practice enough but the same goes for any control method and really we all gravitate to what's comfortable as our preferences.

One thing was cool, after seeing a vid of it, I can now fairly consistently perform quarter circles and DP motions with the Gyro. You'd get battered playing against anyone bar the mid tier CPU but was a fun novelty for 30 mins.

I think he was asking about the Xbone's D-pad vs the X360's D-pad.

But man, Steam Controller fighting game sounds absolutely brutal. I don't think my brained is trained enough to even attempt that, yet.

I look forward to the usual suspects appearing when a thread about Danganronpa reaching 100k sales is done.

The usual suspects also try to say when a publisher is totally happy with the sales (lets say a game sells 50.000 and the publisher says its a great success) that they are lying...

I was thinking about that when I wrote my post. The clicky sound is a bit annoying when I played platformer games

The left touchpad works surprisingly well with fighting games. You'd be surprised at how natural it feels once you configure it a bit (disable click, adjust the dead zones). Now, the buttons can be an issue, but I have that problem with all 4-face button controllers.

D'oh! I tried messing about with Killer Instinct on an Elite Controller and the circular dpad is surprising good. Gets a bit wonkey when you push right to the outer edge as it rocks a bit further past the resistance point where it clicks but waaay better than the cross or 360 dpad variations on Microsofts pads. I get the feeling though my thumbs would still ache after an hour or so of prolonged use.

No new games for me in February. I'm still having too much fun in the Dark Arisen dungeon of Dragon's Dogma.
And I have Tomb Raider after that, so I'm set for a while. I think.
