So you're still playing The Last of Us, then? (Destiny)

Part of it is because Destiny is one of those so called AAA+ games, which was designed to be played frequently and in perpetuity.

You might want to check the Wikipedia page on 'false equivalence'.

Whatever blurry lines define a game to be AAA[+] do not also require the game to be played often and for a long time. I'm sure that's a goal for many games, regardless of their "budget classification" (or whatever you want to call it).

To my point in the subject line: The Last of Us is a fantastic AAA game, but it doesn't change much from playthrough to playthrough. You can change the difficulty setting and play it on successively harder modes, but that's about it, so the replayability is inherently limited. And that's okay. It's intended to be like that.
