I don't think that means what you think it means
On the topic of Chulip (PS2) again, it appears that GameSpot reviewed it last night. Here's their introduction:
One might translate GameSpot's summary as:
There's something to be said for Chulip's abject weirdness and purposefully awkward structure, but they don't translate into a rewarding game experience.The problem is that abject always has a negative connotation. Abject poverty and utter poverty mean similar things, but abject joy is an oxymoron while utter joy makes sense. I can see the author meaning utter in the above, but not abject.
One might translate GameSpot's summary as:
There is something to be said for Chulip's negative qualities, but they don't translate into a rewarding game experience.Then again, maybe they meant it to be so witty?

Curious that the review doesn't seem to mention that Chulip is a 4+ year old game, just now getting released in the US. Given this, I find the not-up-to-FFXII-visuals quite acceptable. The music, also, is quite a treat.
