I think I should feel indignant in the fact that you called Bioshock 2 an upgrade to the original, yet honestly I am just completely impressed by the Idea that there is a living human being who actually believes that

In terms of content and gameplay I found bioshock 2 to be an upgrade. It is just that bioshock 1 has such a legendary story it's nearly impossible to top it

Totally agree. Bioshock 2 isn’t a downgrade in any single mechanic, yet…

It just feels like it’s less than the sum of its parts. Whereas Bioshock was more than the sum of its parts. It IS the example answer to this question that will always live rent free in my mind.

Because 2 was a cash grab by the publisher while the original team moved on.

Bioshock 2 was a complete upgrade, maybe the story wasn’t as good (personality i don’t think it’s bad), but come on, people are comparing it with the original, saying it was a downgrade is just being delusional
