I tried to play it last year and couldn't even get to the part I remember being the best part because it was borrrrring. And clunky.

I might try again.

The combat is slow but it's no worse than Deus Ex, and I've replayed that 123523 times.

So it's set decades earlier, in a completely different location, with no Adam, splicers, Big Daddies or Little Sisters? I get the feeling this isn't actually a Bioshock game in any meaningful sense, and it's just in the title because some suit said it had to be.

Game looks amazing, don't get me wrong, I just wish they would have trusted Ken Levine's name, or failing that, "_______shock" to be enough of a selling point.

Well I think it does have a lot of meaningful connections to Bioshock, but they're broader; themes, design philisophies, and gameplay style. Probably more like the way J-RPGs think of sequels.

Bioshock doesn't imply underwater though. It's not like they are trying to call it System Shock with no computers or something else completely outlandish. I'd do the same thing if I were them. The general public is too stupid to connect the dots if you don't beat them over the head with it.
