If you didn't like it then, I don't think you'll like it now.

My two largest problems with the game at launch were the lack of content, especially from a story perspective, and how much grinding there was. It seems both of those things have been improved (albeit not entirely fixed), which is why I'm considering it now.

I loved the core FPS mechanics of the game, even at launch. Controlling the character felt/feels very smooth and natural. But a fun-to-control game isn't necessarily the same as a fun-to-play game. I'm trying to figure out if Destiny is now both or still only the former.

House of Wolves and Taken King both improved the game from a story perspective. TK almost has a Halo-like progression with decent cutscenes.

Considering that right now $36 gets you not only the base game you've already played (but is required) but also Dark Below and its raid, House of Wolves, Taken King and its raid including the new location (Dreadnought) and now the April Update with the new version of Prison of Elders arena battles from HoW... I'd say it's good value for money if you liked Destiny but just thought that $60 for the game and $20 for expansions was not enough bang for the buck.
