SS2 is not really "very similar" to DX. And it's in space.

Plus at no point does DX ever claim to be a survival horror game, whereas that's basically exactly what SS2 is.

They both have RPG elements, they both have inventory tetris, they both have 'augmentation' of sorts...um..they're both first person? They both require a degree of actual brain to play? I'm finding it hard to think of other ways in which they're very similar, or even slightly similar.


Though yes, SS2 is also an excellent game.

ooh ooh wait! They both have a basketball easter egg. Ok, that's close enough for me.



...anyway, happy belated birthday, Dave.
