    Game looks great and the carnage looks fantastic but GF sits next to me sometimes when I play games.. she wouldn't tolerate the gore. Is there an option to disable it?

    There is a Kombat Kode that turns off Blood (900 900 I think) but no for the normal game.

    Don't be whipped.  Just explain to her it's not real and pixelated.  If she's that offended by the violence in the game, well...maybe you should talk to her.


    Other than that, use the code for versus.  900-900.

    What do you mean she won't tolerate the gore? Is she like crazy religious or something? I'm sure you can explain to her that you're an adult and the gore is not a big deal.

    Better yet, find some good 1970's-90s horror films (like Re-Animator, Dead & Buried, Evil Dead 1 & 2, Alien, the Hunger, the Howling & many more I can't think of at the moment) watch a lot of those with your girlfriend. Pretty soon everyone in the immediate vicinity will not be that offended to see all the blood & gore in the new MK game.

    Damn I can hear the whip cracking!!  If you have to worry about violent games around the G/F I'm going to say you might not want to propose to this one....  Geeees if I had to worry about something like this in front of my wife it would be like me not being me.

    There's a fine line between being sensitive and being whipped, please don't cross it! Not sure why your girlfriend needs to sit with you when you're playing, part of the fun is the shock value anyway.

    You could just not do fatalities. Then there'd be no gore (also, don't lose).

    You know, dude, in all seriousness, I generally can be pretty disturbed by graphic amounts of violence. However, MK's approach is so over-the-top and ridiculous, that I just love it. It's my favorite game series. I think it's done in a manner in which I think it's not absolutely demented or grotesque. But yeah, the best thing to do would be to not play it around her, or somehow lure her into the game to the point where she learns to overlook the violence.

    I'd just avoid playing the game when she's around. I wouldn't hold it against her, either. Just like there are certain films your girlfriend wouldn't want to see on a date (have fun showing her A Serbian Film), the same can be said about games.

    Do what I did. Show her this fatality as one of the first things she sees, then she can't complain about much else. The reaction you get is rather amusing.

    Eh, play something else around the GF. You obviously know her best OP, and if you know she'll get uncomfortable around MK then don't play it around her.

    some crazy replies in this topic.

    it's a given I can play when she's not around. And by "tolerate" I just mean she'd walk away and do some other activity. Don't see it as being whipped, but whatevs. We had quality time playing through Portal 2 together and now seems keen to play games/watch me play games.
    If there's an option to take off gore I'd add MK to thr list of games she might be interested in. If not I'll play w/o her.

    Don't listen to half the morons in this thread, if your girlfriend doesn't like gore she doesn't like gore and your not whipped for respecting your girlfriend. It seems however that there isn't any option for you but to not play it with her around. Try Portal 2? My girlfriend was hooked on watching me play that.

    Damn there are a lot of virgins posting in this thread.


    OP, there is nothing wrong with respecting your girl's wishes.  She's meeting you halfway by respecting, and dabbling with, your hobby.  It's only right that you try and make it easier for her to embrace gaming in a way that doesn't send her screaming from the room.

    Have you tried getting her to play story mode (on easy) by herself?  There's no blood in that mode, and it would give her a chance to get involved in game at her own speed before you take it into competitive mode.

    @bigmuffpi: Sort of impossible. There are gore-based story moments (arms being ripped off), there are game modes where you lose parts of your body, there's an achievement tied to blood lost, there are moments in the singleplayer content where you MUST perform a fatality...

    I mean, this is Mortal Kombat. This is what it is: gore and blood--it's integral to the series.
