Well, in order to have an unbiased valuation of a game, we have to have a certain standard to the games we play. If most $60 games have voice chat, is it fair to pay $60 for another game that does not have voice chat. If most $60 games have customizable online games, is it fair to pay $60 for a game that does not. If most $60 games have a heavily packed local multiplayer mode, is it fair to pay $60 for a game that does not. The paintball gameplay seems like a mode that call of duty could implement for $10 rather than a fully fledged $60 title.
While it is true that you may have spent 80 hours in splatoon and 10 in far cry, I may have spent 10 hours in splatoon and and 80 hours in far cry (obviously these numbers are not real). However your experience does not warrant splatoon to be an $80 game, and my experience does not warrant it to be a $10 game. So the best way to actually price it, is by comparing it to the features of other similar titles that are actually $60 (or $40 or $20 ... you get the idea)

Does it make it easier to swallow knowing that you will be getting more contenet without added cost something the $60 games you are talking about don't do? How many COD continually give you free new maps and free new modes? It is a different delivery system so we will have to wait and see in the end how much content you get for $60 before you can really draw comparisons on content. I could say the only shooter that is worth $60 is COD because none of the other games out there feature a Zombies mode.

Well, they are adding content that should have been in the start to begin with. What Nintendo should have done is release the game at $20-$40 and $60 for a season pass (or as a legendary edition later on that adds in all the dlc like skyrim). There is no point in paying in full when you don't have the full game presented to you.
No, it is not often that cod gives out free maps, but then again there is no need for them to have to since they launch the game with around 15 maps. Same with the modes. Literally, the zombies mode in bo2 has 4 modes to enjoy in both local and online play, splatoon does not have that many modes in its entirety
Destiny is a game that trades the zombies mode for the ability to do raids with friends and trades the local play for a class system with distinct subclasses and skill trees, along with certain equipment, that is not present in call of duty. That is a game that should be $60. Halo 4 gives up the zombies mode, but otherwise contains a very good campaign that is somewhat lacking in call of duty. That is a game that should be $60. Splatoon is a game that gives up voice chat, customizable online matches, local multiplayer (aside from balloon popping), a zombies or raid features, and a number of maps and guns, for a colorful atmosphere, a squid form (that only makes you move faster and semi invisible), and paint instead of bullets. That does not sound like a game that should be $60.
