Gameplay isnt the most important thing in games.

Like for example Myst? Gameplay is definitely not the most important thing in Myst.

Pointing and clicking is pretty damn important in a point 'n' click adventure.

So is walking around and being able to look at things in a cinematic adventure game.
And being able to shoot things in a third person shooter.

Myst was pretty lousy in it's point and click gameplay. It was praised for letting you get you immersed in a virtual world, not for the point and click gameplay, which many games had done better before Myst. Gameplay was just adequate in Myst.

But it's the pointing 'n' clicking that lets you interact with the environment, and in turn, immerses you in the world.
