Hard-core gamers who may not be skilled in finding companionship, will be getting some help with a new modification to Novalogics Joint Operations game. The mod, dubbed SSE (Social Skills Enhancement) replaces common weapons with various gadgets designed to woo the opposite sex. The goal is to provide the ideal simulated environment, where geeks can practice and improve their dating skills.
Novalogic said SSE is a quantum leap for socially deprived gamers. “We have not forgotten about the hard-core LAN party goers. Novalogic is giving back to the community that has been so good to us.” He says that all the weapons in Joint Operations have been replaced with a bouquet of flowers, boxes of chocolates and tickets to the Opera. “Every situation calls for a different tool, we provide great tutorials on how to use everything, including the ultimate weapon, the Louis Vuitton bag, which works well when the player is confronting the dreaded last level - Where the player must get a date with high maintenance Asian women.”
Instead of sneaking through swamps and deserts to kill enemy soldiers, in the SSE modification the players will be wading through dangerous environments such as the mall, dance floor, or Starbucks. At first, the player is only armed with a great smile, brains, and semi-fashionable clothes. With these meager tools, he must “attack” women and deplete their resistance points. When the points reach 0, she will agree to a date, and the player advances to the next level. As each level is completed, more advanced weapons are available to the player.
The controls are similar to what most gamers are used to. That’s the beauty of it, the stabbing attack with a knife is the same, but the knife has been replaced with roses. Projectile weapons such as the Hugo Boss cologne spritz and the Chocolate toss are very effective when crouching or peeking around corners. “Artillery”, in the form of Tom Cruise showing up and telling everyone that you are a great guy, is available when the player completes certain levels.
