All games are time wasters on one level or another. (Destiny)

Halo after a while sucks. (Not just Halo 4 guys and gals, all of em)

Does it? I haven't noticed. Sometimes it seems to get better over repeat playthroughs, even.

Destiny after a while sucks.

In certain respects, but the core gameplay experience getting old isn't one that gets brought up much. What people are complaining about is ultimately that they're being encouraged to do things they don't want to do by the progression system. (Outside of some milder behaviours in Reach and Halo 4), it's not comparable to what happens with Halo, even if we could agree that Halo gets old (which it doesn't in a matter of days like Destiny seems to have with some people).

What makes these games fun is who you play with.

That's... one of the things that makes them fun. :/
