5 PC Games That Stood Out During The E3 2014

Last June 10-12, 2014, the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014 (E3 2014) was held. Many game publishers showed off some of their best PC games, and many stood out. Well it's obviously a showdown for games. Anyway, here are 5 of the PC Games that stood out during the E3 2014.

The Sims 4

The Sims 4 is the latest installment in the popular simulation franchise. Players once again take control of virtual lives, guiding their Sims through lives however they wish.

The Sims 4 refines some systems in the franchise, while expanding others. As with all previous iterations, there is no way to "win" or "lose" beyond what goals you set for yourself. Do you want your Sim to succeed in their chosen career? Raise a family? Plant a garden? Loaf about and do nothing at all? It's all up to you!

Batman: Arkham Knight

The game's main storyline is set one year after that of 2011's Batman: Arkham City and follows Batman, at the peak of his ability, as he confronts the supervillain Scarecrow, who has returned to Gotham City to unite Batman's enemies in a plot to finally kill the Dark Knight.

Far Cry 4

The single-player story follows Ajay Ghale, an English-speaking Nepalese native who returns to Kyrat, a wild and untamed region of his home country to scatter his mother's ashes. Once there, he becomes caught up in a civil war as the people struggle under the despotic regime of self-appointed king Pagan Min (Troy Baker). Far Cry 4 marks the first time in the Far Cry series that the main characters are natives to the country in which the game takes place.

Battlefield Hardline

Battlefield Hardline is a spin off game in the Battlefield series. Hardline will be the first game in the series to focus on a topic other than military warfare, it will instead revolve around fighting crime in a cops vs criminals setting.

Assassin's Creed V: Unity

Set within Paris during the French Revolution, the single-player story follows Arno Dorian in his efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution.

Combat for the game was rebuilt, with fencing being used as an inspiration for the new system. In addition to returning weapons from previous games, Assassin's Creed Unity introduces the Phantom Blade. The Phantom Blade uses the mechanics of a crossbow to fire a silent projectile a great distance, while still serving the same role as the Hidden Blade in previous Assassin's Creed games. Navigation for the game was also overhauled. Ubisoft created new "Parkour Up" and "Parkour Down" mechanics to make it easier for the player to scale buildings in either direction. Additionally, Arno learns new parkour moves throughout the game, but the player can also purchase new skills as well. With the updated, larger crowds, new interactions with them are also available. The crowd regularly presents many activities, appearing organically, that the player can choose to engage with at their leisure. Examples include interfering in a fistfight, or chasing down a pickpocket

Assassin's Creed Unity also introduces cooperative multiplayer to the series. Players can enter taverns, which act as social hubs in the game, where you can see if any friends are playing the game at the current time. If they are currently in a mission, they will appear as a "ghost" version of their player, allowing you to approach it to request to join their mission. If accepted, you are transitioned to their game and both of you reset to the most recent checkpoint, and continue on from there. Up to four players can join together in this fashion. The player will take on the role of Arno within their own game, with other players appearing as randomly-generated Assassins. Many missions and activities will be available for cooperative play (which the player can also complete on their own), but there are some story missions that are set aside to be single player only.

So, that's 5 of some of the best games of E3 2014. Well, some of these games are not yet released but eventually they will be soon. Hopefully, they are expected to be released this coming late 2014 or maybe next year. You might want to start saving money for these guys.
