My summary of stalker : duty : cool bar in the middle of the zone bandits : cool guys but live in boring wasteland freedom : hipies with good music and herbs monolith : good looting and infinite respawning stalkers : the nice dudes you encounter on the roads, but useless ecologists : too clever for us, but good missions, and green suit! army : border loot Sidorovitch : the boss, you hate and love him
The original games were based off a book called Roadside Picnic, in which aliens visit earth and turn it into a dumpster with artifacts and anomalies. Stalkers are basically illegal hunters that venture into the zones to find these artifacts. The games were basically the same plot with obviously a lot more added content, but they kept the bolt throwing option to find invisible zones that could kill you in seconds, one of many small details. Great book and great series of games. Glad they made it through the war to produce the new game for fans.
Just mindless drones rallied to the Cult of The Monolith (the Wishgranter artifact). I am curious as to see what the status is now of the world given that this is supposed to be modern day 2024. We may see Streylok given that Strider is supposed to make a return as well.
you see, by design the c-councious filters the stalkers that become part of monolith simply because it takes a good one to get closer to the center of the zone, let alone the ones that got to the wish granter just to be brainwashed in the end.
I’ve waited so many years for this release I can’t believe it’s here. Most recently had been playing StalkerZ mod for DayZ which was pretty cool. See you all in the zone!
One of the best Stalker views, viewed so far. Awesome! I have all of the previous games, but strangely, I never completed any of them. I spent more time just exploring and having fun, so I never got to the end to understand why.
I first heard of Chernobyl from my grandparents when I was young. Fascinated with it since in a scientific way. I've read and seen a lot of stuff on it. I highly recommend watching the HBO miniseries Chernobyl.
Coming from a decent handful of gamma playthroughs. Absolutely loved gamma for it was my introduction to the stalker series. I haven’t played through the og series but in time i feel Ill get around to it. Looking forward to get my hands on this game im so hyped!
Infamous, not famous, and Fukushima was much bigger. They turned off the radiation sensors, but even those that existed would have been overwhelmed by the release. FWIIW
I purchased the three older stalker games, but their gameplay was too outdated for me to enjoy. I eagerly anticipate the arrival of this new game tomorrow.
Pretty sure 2010 opened a lot of eyes due to the Fukishima Power Plant meltdown. Then again I knew what Chernobyl was as far back as middle school in the 1990s

85 videos from the same 10 channels using recycled STALKER 2 footage and press releases is usually a bad sign this close to release. I want this to be good. The community needs this to be good. I have serious doubts with a review embargo that's in effect until an hour before launch, shady system specs (yes I can run it on my rig) that seems to mandate upscaling tech, and the general instability of UE5.
Don't worry about the review embargo. You'll be able to play it and give your own opinion. The game looks phenomenal, in my opinion. I can't wait to finally jump in soon. As for the performance, I think it will be fine.
I'm just super glad that they somehow managed to keep us away from spoilers. Play it and see if you like it - if not, refund it. Reviews have never been a good indication for games, and especially not these days where it most often depends on how much developers pay them or how liked they are...
@@DrybearGamers I mean yeah, no story spoilers I guess. But there's lots of people who've never played Stalker before, and it is a vastly different experience literally not knowing anything compared to already being informed about the basic things imo (which includes mechanics, gadgets, lore etc.).
He literally titled it story and lore so I think people would know what they're clicking on. Some people want to be caught up on the story so they know what's going on when they pick up the game.
No. No. No. watching this video is in no way going to spoil your experience. to be honest, I think a lot of people would find value in this because stock team is not going to hold your hand in any way shape or form and frankly people are used to. I predict the majority of players will need guides to complete the game. So this is perfectly fine.
@@connorofaolain117strelok WAS the strelok the whole time, how’s that for a spoiler Also your comment is like putting spoiler warnings on the original metal gear solid. Like if you where gonna hop into it, you already would’ve and you’d be so unbelievably lost without the spoiler it wouldn’t even be fun

You have to be retarded to not mention road side picnic
The player actually has a 950,000 Ton weight limit. Around 80kg or so for your gear and inventory, and the rest for your metal bolts.
😂
Tomorrow feels like forever lol
Been waiting for a new stalker for so long. I still have the cdroms from the original.
I read this too fast and thought you said
“I still have the condoms from the original”
😳
@ 😂 CD-Roms lol
At least he is prepared @@Supernautiloid
My summary of stalker :
duty : cool bar in the middle of the zone
bandits : cool guys but live in boring wasteland
freedom : hipies with good music and herbs
monolith : good looting and infinite respawning
stalkers : the nice dudes you encounter on the roads, but useless
ecologists : too clever for us, but good missions, and green suit!
army : border loot
Sidorovitch : the boss, you hate and love him
Never played a stalker game before so tomorrow will be my 1st , appreciate the lore catchup
same
This'll be like Call of Pripyat on Steroids if early footage is anything to go off of. Looking forward to it.
I’m excited me aswell
Id say if you can bear it pick up the og trilogy if it goes on sale. Its held up surprisingly well for a 2007-2009 eurojank survival shooter
Same here bro I’ve been watching this game for the last 2 months I’m a big fallout/skyrim fan so I’m very excited to give this game a try

I like how there are a lot of videos surrounding S.T.A.L.E.R now, makes me so happy.
Thank you! Found this just in time. Best telling of the lore I found so far. Now I know the story.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Dude, it is based on the book.
Science fiction novel "Roadside picnik"
Yea this guy's a retard
You can't say shit like that @@octopushands6923
Very, very loosely.
It's based on the Stalker film which is based on the book.
I don't think that Monolith are "enhanced" in any way afaik they are just regular stalkers who are being mind controlled but not certain

Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for watching!

Decent recap of what came before, thanks for the reminders.
'Wanted to live in a free area'
God I wish we had one of these in Australia.
Good vid! I learned something today👍
Agreed. I had no idea Albo was a lefty authoritarian. What a wanker.
One of the best Stalker views, viewed so far. Awesome! I have all of the previous games, but strangely, I never completed any of them. I spent more time just exploring and having fun, so I never got to the end to understand why.
I love how they didn't change the inventory menu much
I wonder if there will be night vision like in COP, that would be great for stealth
you already know stalker, and if not with full mod support...it wont take long.
Hard to imagine not. I recall even some of the suits you get had vision alterations too in the first game.
There are only 2 kinds of people in the zone:
The cheeki, and the breeki
Finally a stalker 2 video that’s not regurgitating the same info with the same footage
Played the first 3, cant wait for the new one!!!!
One more sleep!
@DrybearGamers hell yea, but unfortunately I can't play on release as my daughter is home from school the hour before 😭😭
Great video! Thanks for the recap, it's been a long time since i played the old games haha
Enjoy!
Never played Stalker but I am weirdly super excited about this like it’s a huge starfield type release.
Great video. I'm ready to be a STALKER now
Good luck!
How Dangerous? Highly.
Fantastic recap!
Glad you liked it!
It's currently 11:58 and GOD I wish it was a midnight release
I first heard of Chernobyl from my grandparents when I was young. Fascinated with it since in a scientific way. I've read and seen a lot of stuff on it. I highly recommend watching the HBO miniseries Chernobyl.
This is a great video! I really needed this before the game releases. I feel like I'm another body being briefed before I get sent to the zone
Thank you for this.
Coming from a decent handful of gamma playthroughs. Absolutely loved gamma for it was my introduction to the stalker series. I haven’t played through the og series but in time i feel Ill get around to it. Looking forward to get my hands on this game im so hyped!

Awesome. 1st stalker game and I feel caught up. Thanks dude.
Enjoy the game!
If you don’t have the patience to read books there is the stalker film on pirate bay.
It's literally free on youtube
They should of given people who own the elder games with some bonus stuff !..
the stutters and glitches in the nvidia vid that was posted today is such a bad sign. giving off major cyberpunk2077 release vibes
I purchased the three older stalker games, but their gameplay was too outdated for me to enjoy. I eagerly anticipate the arrival of this new game tomorrow.
Zone rule #56 If it glows don’t eat it
If people don't know what Chernobyl is I am guessing they are from America
Whoa there buddy. we know Chernobyl. We’ve played cod 4 I’ll have you know

Reminder that the fallout from Chernobyl blew over a lot of the world resulting in radiation poison and livestock miscarriages across the world
Just got my copy. On way home to play😊😊
you could be a great story teller! i enjoyed the video sir!
12hrs
No reviews its coming out today giving me some red flags .im excited but trying not to let the hype dissipoint me .fingers crossed
Merc numba 1
I told my boss ima stalker 2 for hours untill im obsessed with it and got in trouble......i need a new job.
The sour Sony PlayStation fan base will shun this game even though they can play on pc also. Fanboyism is ruining gaming.
Looks like another hard pass
your not a S.T.A.L.K.E.R

Only the official footage can be used for B-Roll so our hands are tied as creators. At this point we just have to hope it works out :)

I think people just need to temper down expectations a bit..did anyone see nividias video put out today? Games stuttering in the damn showcase 😅
Could also title it: "How to get spoilered a day prior to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2"
All of this is content from the original games from 15+ years ago. No spoilers are here from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
