I just wanted to start a thread for Battlefield 4 as I know there are some fans here as well. I just ordered mine from Amazon and it's pre-loading now on Origin. Amazon has BF4 with a $5 credit. I might pick it up for the Xbox One as well, but we'll see how it goes.

[quote who="lostinthecode" reply="22" id="3404306"] Can't they just hijack the Windows 8.1 start button and make it do all the stuff the current Start8 start button do? That way we'll get the white start button back? Also, can't we just get a custom start button png and set it to white?[/quote] I doubt Microsoft would appreciate that. Besides, you can simply change the start button image in Start8.

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="16" id="3401354"] I was reading some of the reviews... Do you have to purchase the game and then pay to continue to play past certain levels? [/quote] No, the in-app purchases are optional.

Start8 doesn't extend the actual taskbar to another monitor, Windows 8 does that by itself. Start8 does have an option to place the start menu on the second monitor, but that's for Windows 8 only.

The game doesn't require additional purchases. There are in-app purchases available for things like additional gold and such, but it's not inhibiting the gameplay or functionality.
