Ok here is an example, system shock 2 music even though it works on old school mp3s and is a drum and bass...jungle...electronic mishmash, when composing that its still ALL midijust daaaaaymn good midi, expencive midi, 5000 dorra keyboard midi with a couple of drum loop synths XD And i guess they have given that....but its just bioshocks music pushed into system shock with again dubstep, that isn't doing medical justice in my opinion, you get no cool guitar whine while you are waking up and beating mutants off with a pipe XD you dont get a reeeeally aggressive sounding industrial track in reactor that honestly sounds like something big mean, is angry and looking at you XD thats what im getting at i guess. The feel and love isn't there and neither is the hardware they promised.
Riven is another example, the synths used in that are still synths but they are so expencive, so much hardware and software pumped into them the soundfont almost sounds real...and nowadays hell YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERNECE! its THAT good
