I think Trip is incredibly boring and should be vaulted forever since she comes from a meta era tier game

>If you think the story didn't play a part in the criticism you're just wrong.
It barely played a part in it. 98% of the complaints during that time period was directly focused on the gameplay, since Journalists and the (old) Sonic fanbase only really cared for that, not the writing due to the Classic Sonic games barely having one. Infact, there's been praises of being able to skip Sonic 06 cutscenes to quickly get back into the gameplay after SA1 to Shadow 05 not allowing the player to skip them.
>The kissing scene at the end is one of the most infamous cutscenes in video game history
It's not really infamous. It was something propped up by certain popular youtubers and journalists like Jim Sterling as a (poor) excuse why Sonic should not have a story.
>Inb4 you're wrong
I'm a 36 year old man. I saw all of these things on my old Windows XP computer.

I hate this retarded excuse when every other racing game doesn't need to do this shit unless they're in a desperate situation(Which the Sonic franchise clearly isn't, as this isn't the 2010s aka the dark age of Sonic)
