Yeah, I don't have any problems with Demon's Souls, but Monster Hunter Tri's attack animations just felt incredibly stiff to me, and I really couldn't stand it.
Mine shipped yesterday, and says it'll be here today, but I'm still waiting for UPS to show up, and the delivery status on Amazon hasn't updated since 10 PM EDT last night. I should really just preorder locally for stuff I know I'm going to want ASAP.
There was some implication of a review by Kessler in the intern video they posted on the Youtube channel today, but that may or may not be true depending on how much you want to read into it.
Pretty much all the Gamestop employees I've talked to have been friendly, and more often than not reasonably knowledgeable. I've never had any problems with returns, missing preorder content, or anything. They always ask about preorders when I stop by, but it's not really a big deal. So yeah, I guess I'm just lucky, and all my local Gamestops hire nice people, but I've got no personal problems with the chain.
@BeachThunder: If you can tell where it is, just make a beeline for the boss room. The only other special room in The Womb is the secret room, and there's very little of value equivalent to the health you'll lose trying to kill all the monsters.
I booted up SotC first myself. Then I ended up playing Ico to completion first after that. Even though I haven't played Shadow in years, I still remember exactly how to kill every single Colossus, and even which direction most of them are in, so it's not nearly as exciting as it used to be.
@SuperWristBands: Just making sure, you know you can pull Yorda out of the shadow pools before she gets fully sucked in to avoid a game over, right?
@SeeSaw: All you can really do if you don't have an item that reveals them is to complete the map, and then look for empty spots that are surrounded by 3 or 4 rooms. Go to one of the surrounding rooms, and bomb that wall in the center. One of those spots will be the secret. There's 1 secret per floor, and you can get in from any direction.
If you want to kill Mom's Heart easily, just run up to it and set a bomb. It'll explode, do a ton of damage to her, probably kill the enemies she just spawned, and then you can run up and set another one just in time to kill the next wave of enemies.
Edit: Also, never buy the stupid cat. It gives you 9 lives, but takes you down to 1 heart no matter how many you have. Even if you pick up some extra health items after getting it, they'll be gone when you respawn.
