First time ever commenting on a video game forum. This game is utterly fantastic. I know Larian had some nice advantages in making this game (Divinity mechanics and DnD lore at their fingertips), but it's still a fantasy RPGer's dream come true and so they're to be congratulated. Personally, the inclusion of a couch co-op option was the decisive winning factor -- anything that lets you enjoy a game of this quality both locally and cooperatively is a victory for gaming.
BUT ... I agree with the OP.
The freezing and stuttering of the game (when switching but especially when summoning) make it VERY frustrating, and massively detract from the otherwise immersive experience (think: regularly breaking the tension or atmosphere for as much as thirty seconds or more during an awesome moment of gameplay). Frankly, it's so annoying that, unless it gets fixed fairly soon (or an announcement is made to say it's being worked on) I'll consider petitioning Sony for a refund.
