I wish I could understand the "if it was cheaper, it would be worthwhile/good/great" argument people have for games almost exclusively
Because I expect to have more content with a $60 purchases (which I rarely buy at that price). Titanfall at $60 you get only MP with less content than free to play games and about the same kind of fun. Top of that having to pay for extra maps. I mean you had less content than a base release Battlefield game which is already a bad enough buy, but it looks meatier by comparison. You can judge by hours of fun which is an acceptable metric for the player, but I personally don't want to pay out for slightly varied game modes of each other and price gouging for DLC (which is essentially map packs). Then again this is EA publishing.
A good example, I bought The Orange Box a decade ago for Team Fortress 2, which is also MP only. At $60 on launch even that game would not have been worth it alone. Instead, it came with the Half-Life 2 releases and Portal packed in, making it a heavy value even at $60. Ten years later TF2 is free to play and has had a decade of support with a newly added in matchmaking system. Clearly a better buy in terms of content.
Titanfall to me had about $10 worth of stuff to play. The gameplay was fast and fun, but I have Quake Live to satisfy my arena itch and even that old game has more content in the restricted form that is Quake Live than Titanfall does.
Again, I just don't see it as a good value at the launch price. MAYBE this second one will be better in terms of what you get at that price. And I don't restrict it to just games either.
