What is she your mother? If I felt uncomfortable doing something as meaningless as playing Duke Nukem in front of the girl I'm dating I wouldn't be dating here.
Tell her that all the polygonal naked babes were modeled by geeky,greasy, middle-aged programmers while jerking off to photos of each other's moms. The game is full of cheap nudity and at some point you even get a lap dance from a stripper.
Watch the new quick look video and decide for yourself. Personally, I'd feel stupid enough playing it alone, much less with anyone else in the room.
No actual sex, only boobs (and off the top of my head there are only ~3 levels that actually contain boobs) but there are quite a number of sexual references throughout. Also, there's a level set in strip club.

Where would you be dating? (I'm so sorry, really)

Why did you buy the game then?
This. You won't be able to justify it to anyone.Blanket statement: Don't play this game around people.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I really laughed out loud at this thread title and even pointed it out to my girlfriend too. She laughed as well.
Dude, it's Duke Nukem Forever, be more worried that your gf will think you've had a stroke when she sees the quality of the gameplay.
After watching the quick look..... i have a really shitty taste of the game
i was recently supporting it and thinking whatever the hell, it's DUKE NUKEM BRING IT ONNN!! but honestly.. it's real shitty. Don't play it around anyone, it's embarrassing
Just play it.
If she complains, find a girlfriend that takes time to understand what the game is about, instead of mindless complaining.
I will not play Duke Nukem in front of my wife only because I don´t want her to think that I am stupid. Which I am because I am playing DNF
I wouldn't want anyone knowing I've played this game, so no play it in some secret basement or something if you absolutely have to play it.

I am willing to bet that the people who are questioning your relationship are not dating anyone.
With any relationship there is an amount of give and take. Your girlfriend may be amazing in many ways, but she might be offended or taken back by a crass game. It does not mean that you should find the killer-gamer-chick girlfriend who would love Duke Nukem. I love my wife dearly, and i know for a fact that she would roll her eyes at this game (it does not mean that "she's my mother" or that i should find a new wife).

Let's turn the tables shall we.This guy is saying he doesn't want his gf to complain about the game he is playing not that she has to love games. If my girlfriend liked chick flicks and I didn't I'm not going to feel disgusted seeing her watch one or watching one with her and she shouldn't feel compelled to break it off because of my distaste for them. I've had to sit through tons of movies I did not like when I had a serious girlfriend but whatever it's no big deal. If seeing this guy playing Duke Nukem strains their relationship than to me that relationship was not worth having.
Let's say your girlfriend LOVES chick flicks, and let's assume you cannot stand them. Do you think your girlfriend should break up with you to find a guy who likes these types of movies? No, of course not.
Can you? Yes. Should you? No, probably not, especially if it's just going to make you or her uncomfortable. I guess the main difference is (a) whether or not she's generally offended by the kind of humor that defines DNF or (b) whether she would be offended that you were playing it. If the former, then I'm sure you can find something else to play while she's around since it's only considerate. If the latter, I'd suggest that you talk to her about the game and how it's a relic of 90s macho pop culture humor. The biggest mistake you can make is act like you're doing something wrong by playing DNF - it's a damn video game and it's not like you're sitting there watching porn. If you act all sketchy about it it'll only make her think there's something sketchy about it.
Then you should ask yourself "why do I want to play this at all," because it's rather shit. But that's a different topic entirely.
I've told her to wait until it is dirt cheap, that QL shows that the actual game won't be fun. I'm all for the cringey references and crass one liners!

Would you look at softcore porn while your girlfriend is in the room, or read a Maxim? But, if the game is as bad as I hear, I'd just avoid it all together. However, it's got some novelty value, considering it's been in development for most of my life. Just play it alone.I feel that I'd make my girlfriend a bit uncomfortable watching nude women in front of her regardless if they are polygonal. She'll say she won't mind but I know there would be some discomfort hovering around. The game looks like a game you play with mates in a dorm while drinking and dying of laughter of how bad and crude it is.
How much nudity, sex etc is this in this game? I don't want her to thinks I only bought the game because it has babes and nudity in it. And I really don't want her to start complaining a lot about the types of games I'm playing.If she gets lippy about you playing the game for the nudity simply tell her you dont care for the nudity you merely enjoy shooting moaning women in the face, I'll bet she quietens down.
PS. Does she watch the Twilight movies? If so does she watch them for the high quality acting or for the shirtless werewolves and pussy vampires (Note: Shirtless werewolves & Pussy Vampires is the name of my band if I ever lean and instrument and gain musical ability)?

I wouldn't because I felt uncomfortable myself just watching the quick look that Giantbomb did. I will buy and play the game just because... but yeah, I wouldn't probably play it in front of many people.
If i were you i'd have my girlfriend compete with the on screen babes and make her "service" you while you play the game. INCEPTION
Spoken like someone who doesn't actually have a girlfriend.@henrik_zwomp said:
