Most gaming is about suspension of disbelief, and simming probably more so since it does have a real world connection in that it tries to make a game out of something that is or was actually done IRL. Graphics have always added to the gameplay aspect by either its eastetical value or simply by rendering a virtual world so real it's almost life-like. Trying to disconnect graphics and gameplay and claim they have nothing to do with each other is a bit naive. Having said that, good graphics doesn't make a crappy game good and good gameplay can get lost in a muddle of poor graphics or bad art-direction. Both have their part to play in a really good game.
To answer the question, yes I would have bought it. Would I have liked it? Don't know.
