Half-life 2 is an action game by FABIO 03/22/2005, 8:50pm PST
So it better not stutter. A couple second stutter twice per minute would be a deal breaker with a shooter, but not an RPG.

Is this a detriment to enjoying the real time combat? Maybe. The combat really isn't that involved though, and to say "the chugging combat breaks the game" is missing the entire point. The game is not about combat. Pitched combat makes up less than 25% ofthe game and you're only forced into a combat dungeon crawl about four times total. Pitched combat is actually the weakest part of the game, but to say the whole thing sucks because of it is like saying Planescape is no good because the combat isn't as good as Temple of Elemental Evil.

Is the combat not that deep? Yes, but no less shallow than KoToR's, and that game has you hacking your way through hordes of Sith and droids at every turn.
