As a stalker veteran all I can say is, this was quite enjoyable to watch. And for people that haven't heard for stalker before world of zone was explained in best possible way.
I heard about it a while back because of a TH-camr called rimmy down under gaming he did a arma op on stalker and then I saw that stalker 2 would be coming out soon and my best guess from the video is it’s kind of like metro but it’s in Chernobyl
@@archeacnos yes, stalker is much better than metro as I'm sure you will agree haha. On that note are there any other way to get an exoskeleton repair kit other than doing tech missions? And I can install servo motors for sprinting via exoskeleton repair kits? I already have 2x basic tools, 2x expert tools, basic, advanced and fine tuning servos but cannot install any of it without an exoskeleton repair kit.

I have one thing to say about STALKER. If you like fallout you will LOVE STALKER. I have easily over 11,000 hours in Fallout New Vegas but when I played shadow of Chernobyl for the first time well... That was 3 months ago and I haven't played fallout since.
Dude check out the Ashes series. It's a homemade doom wad and by geez it gives all these games a run for its money.. nevermind the fact it's for freeeeee.
@@nofuture6009you’ve gotta give more than just “Ashes” series, I’ve done a few google searches and looked on steam and have found nothing akin to what you’re describing
11,000 hours .... brother HOW? I've played that game since I was 10 back in 2009 amd I doubt I've gotten even a few hundred. 11000 is an insane amount of time. That's 458 days. I'm scared and impressed cause i dont think there is enough content in new vegas for that
A video covering the source material and inspiration of the STALKER series, such as Roadside Picnic and the few movies made about it would be cool to see.
One of the stalker devs had a relative who was a soviet genetic engineer, so he asked him to write small fanfic about what kind of mutant biology would be like. While it was not much effort was put into it, it was attempted somewhat to ground it on reality and was as detailed as describing "Pseudoflesh digestive system". Unfortunately while it dodnt make to the shelf game due to numerous changes in direction, it is still available to read in the leaked documents, and is quite entertaining.
To me the over all story was my own ... following the characters was just a glimpse under the vail but the journey to every stalker is amazing and bless to those who fell.
@@EULGamingYTalso wonder, intriguing mystery’s & no to mention politics because many nations governments wants to see if the physics defying phenomenon could be exploited.
This is a great "all in one" video about the STALKER universe. I can't tell how much of it was accidental or intentional, but somehow GSC gave STALKER one the best lore in gaming
Man, as a man who loves nothing more than underground stories about scientific experiments and war, that video is at the top of what interests me, that's gold.
Bro, like I mean this whole heartedly… YOU make hands down the most quality lore videos of any game that I have ever seen, the editing, the voice over, the visuals, the intro, the script, and so much more is just perfect!! Thanks for caring for your content! 👍
Please, more of stalker! You did a wonderful job on this video and it will be my go-to first share when trying to introduce someone to the universe. Thanks, it's good to have you back :)
Bro, you make it seem completely real. Turn a somewhat possible, partially based on actual events, into a totally real feeling documentary! Kinda makes playing seem more real and significant. Thnx Bub! Love ur shit.
@@ledira8539 it's called having an imagination. And unless you're some kind of accredited scientist, you have no knowledge of whether these things can possibly happen or not. So your possibly uneducated opinion was never necessary. Let people enjoy their imaginations
I'm glad you're back man. Even if this channel doesn't become as big as you want it to be, the quality of your videos are outstanding. I Really enjoy y'alls work please don't stop!
Dude this was immensely enjoyable to watch. I learned a lot and after playing Stalker for all these years, It makes me love it even more. Great attention to detail!
There is some errors and hole here and there (notably about Freedom creation, wich was almost a year before they came to the Army Warhouse, or the complete Strelok adventure to the center of the Zone), but overall it's a good video/entry, with excellent naration, for newcomers in the Zone to better know the lore behind these 3 wanderful games.
It's very easy to look over the details of the story and the world when you're being shot by 20 guys and can't take more than two steps without being irradiated.
NBC hazmats in the game were later upgraded into CBRN hazmats and later still CBRNE armored exosuits, ukrainian factoriea near the zone produced these special equipment to handle some of the anomalies in the zone, but not all of the anomalies effects could be resisted, gravity or space-time based anomalies for example bypassed any personal protection measure implemented, easily killing stalkers that were too uparmored to run through fast enough and escape on momentum alone, this is why its not always smart to run with the heaviest armor in the zone. legend: NBC - is the nato designation for nuclear, biological, chemical CBRN - is the department of disease control and prevention's designation for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear CBRNE - is the CDC + UNISG's designation for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive UNISG is a special taskforce of the United Nations formed by the USASF and USOF to study, contain, and protect the world from the zone. (lmao i almost did an SCP reference without thinking) USASF (formerly USSF until the united states space force stole that moniker) is the special forces of the us military. USOF is the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, formerly an organization formed by the Russian GRU & KGB as a branch of the Spetsnaz, it now serves the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Defense as an elite special forces group equivalent, separate fron the Security Service of Ukraine's Spetsnaz Alpha Group.
There's a lot of effort put into this but I can't help but notice a lot of misconception and mistakes being told here. Like the founding of freedom being in the army warehouses, or the zombie speaking english being a stalker when it was originally from the tourist group that got lost and other mistakes
I here by want to compliment you for this great quality vid! From the chronologic events to the calm and slow storytelling to the great Stalker pictures (were did you even get those??) A job well done in my honest opinion. There are 2 more great Stalker channels on YT but I will add your one to that as well. Stay frosty Stalker! 👊
Just sent this to the girlfriend who watched me play gamma for a while. She knows less than Jon Snow about the stalker universe and this was a nice little recap on the major events of the zone.
Fun fact the image at 1:01 is of an arginine plant in Rochester New York and the original Driving Park bridge (I know this because I literally live right by that building)
Some years ago a friend of mine recommended the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise for me and still to this day it isn't my type of game but I like those kind of things so I gave it a go last year and I found it quite enjoyable, then today I thought about learning a bit more about S.T.A.L.K.E.R since I don't wanted to play the other games and found this video, thanks for the explanation
Awesome video!! Do you think Strelok will be in Stalker 2?? I feel like he has to be to complete the story. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I cannot wait to play stalker 2.
also gameplay wise gamma is not that different for other mods as you get a quest go out do some exploring along the way and complete the quest and after all would look for some stashes and hidden loot and you can any of this a your one pace the game is not forcing you to do any it in one way it's more like throwing in the world and telling you do whatever you want. and the quest line and side mission of gamma and mostly the same with anomaly so 90% copy and paste from the GO games. but if there's one gamma and anomaly do best is how much you can change your experience and this in my eyes is why you should look onto gamma or anomaly in general
This is amazing work. What would be nice to see is an example of how the book "roadside picnic" and "metro 2033" has it relevance and contributes to the story and you should definitely speculate on how the labs in the zone are involved and such. Well fucking done. Anyone with any imagination and skill could make this another best selling novel close to that of metro 2033.
I only play two Games on my Pc and love to Immerse myself in it. Tarkov and Stalker and for both you have a excellent Lore Story that is in the back of my mind every time I player either. THX
i love your videos, but have trouble hearing your intros / you speaking when there are other sounds in the video. could you please work to make your audio mixing better, making sounds other than you speaking much quieter so i can still hear you :)
Agreed, the background and ambiant sounds are at a bit too high of a level. I have Dolby sound on my device so I can do a bit of minor mixing but still couldn't get it to a comfortable level so had to just lower it almost to nothing and use captions instead. 🤷🏼♀️
THX so much. It Immers me even deeper in the Game with such a great and Atmospheric Lore Story. Also would recommend Hbo series Chernobyl if you dont want to leave the Zone after Gaming
The highly plausible theory is that C-con didn't had that much altruistic intentions- the Monolith did not build their equipment, or at least not most of it, so there is a big theory that C-Con already stocked on the experimental weaponary Monolith used after conversion to be under their orders. It was either a main plan or a "Plan B" if the first idea of touching the Noosphere wouldn't work, at least in my opinion. Ridding humanity off individuality, no matter how much problems said individuality causes, is not a solution, or at least not one that allows further positive progress- ridding a species off individuality will halt it's development as ideas and changes come from there being many creative people rather than one
Quality content. I was just reading about Escape From Prypiat v4.0 that released barely 10 days ago, and was thinking of trying it. Your video definitely got me in the mood. can't wait for Stalker 2. My only hope is that all this Russia/Ukraine crap is over soon, and the devs can go back to focusing on it.
Hey man, try GAMMA. I played EFP 3.0 a while back and it was decent, but am currently doing a GAMMA playthrough and i love it so much more. Def recommend giving both a go tho
EFP is great, but it honestly doesnt compare to GAMMA. EFP feels like a big mashup of mods, while Gamma feels like a carefully curated experience using mods. Each has their own qualities though. If you just want to buy guns, armor etc, find tons of loot, get into tons of gunfights, and have an easier time progressing, EFP would be for you. If you want new guns to be more of a rewarding accomplishment, want to have to repair things to make them viable again, dont want to simply buy all your weapons etc but work to find them and repair them yourself, and have a longer lasting experience in which you work your way up the progression tree slowly but in a very rewarding way, GAMMA is for you. In gamma when I built my first gun (aside from my starting weapons) I was ecstatic. When I got my first set of tools, I was ecstatic. When i killed that Military member and got the gas mask and weapon i had been looking for for so long. When I finally repaired my first piece of good armor etc. In EFP, none of this really mattered too much, because I could just grind money and buy it all.
Stalker is the game that made me curious about Ukraine in 2006. I had a friend who were so excited about a game that was going to come out were you supposedly Roamed Chernobyl and hunted radioactive monsters. Learning that Chernobyl were in Ukraine and getting a desire to visit - now I've been to Ukraine several times and have good friends there - but haven't played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. yet - maybe it's time?! Edit: After watching this video I see how this game has to some degree been inspired by the movie Stalker (Сталкер).
The games take a lot from Tarkovsky's 1979 Stalker film (inspired itself by Roadside Picnic). The physical features of Strelok/The Marked One bears a lot of resemblance to Alexander Kaidanovsky who played the titular "Stalker" in the film. It's a beautifully shot and contemplative film. Very slow by modern standards but definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of the games.
I've waited since 2007 for this...one thing I love is I don't think they change anything just maybe the story and graphics, you'll see, I'm mean clear sky swamps cordon rookie village and I think the down helicopter at yantar are all in the new videos for 2 well as far as I can tell anyway, also you have a mixture of stalker and stalker anomaly
This one is a good starter. If anyone of you would like to delve further, I highly recommend Anomalous Dugout's version of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Timeline as he puts possibles and even more focus on the story itself
could you maybe make a video on games similar to stalker or fan projects around it?? seeing some attention to the stalker community would be hugely appreciated
Oh i remember playing it in late nights back in 2008 and taking sedatives after to calm down myself lol xDDD That raids in X-13.16,19 labs... I remember choosing a wish to become immortal at wishgranter and it turned me into statue lmao xDDD
Dude ...this has got me so stoked for stalker 2...fucking amazing video bro 10/10. Im gonna read the book now, this is fuckin brilliant, this should be a well thought put and expensive TV series
Great concept to make S.T.A.L.K.E.R video, I didn't exept it from you. Unfortunately as a stalker fan I could easly find a lot of mistakes and apposition you made. What is your source?
@@lou399 Yeah I guees thats it. Unfortunatly these days it's hard to find someone that does not play anything else then this mods. There are some underestimated small mods that are also cool.
The term Stalker is based on the tattoo... not the occupation. Nobody was called a stalker until people started noticing the "marked ones".... then the term was adopted by zone explorers..... C-Consciousness creates 3 types of brainwashed troops to protect their secrets... The Zombie, The Monolithian soldier.... and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R, who while not lobotomized like a zombie, nor fully brainwashed like monolith,... was programed with a task... usually assassination's. This is first pointed out by Sidrovich's reaction in the intro to Shadow of Chernobyl. S.T.A.L.K.E.R's usually didnt survive their mission and the mark would be found after death. He knew we where an enemy agent, but didn't knew for who, and I'm assuming, decided to take a chance and watch us to try to figure out who had was responsible. You'll have to ask the C-consciousness what the acronym actually means, though I highly doubt the answer is in english.
3:22 little did they know that the term liquidators would be sadly fitting as sadly been exposed to that level of radiation would basically liquidate their insides, if they were lucky they wouldn’t live to see their body’s rotting before their eyes.
Superbly put together though perhaps a warning that the content contains spoilers so that they can choose whether to watch or avoid content which eg does not confirm who Strelok is. After all, Lukash and General Voronin are in my opinion not named, yet figure in most of the. Commercial games and even some of the 'standalone mods'. The building images seem in my opinion similar to the Stalker 2 trailers, nevertheless, regardless your production is, I opine, brilliant. Thanks and Regards Joe

Oh my I missed this on upload. But thank you for this, first Tarkov lore now STALKER. Best channel for lore!
eyy he's back my favorite youtuber
i love your videos, but have trouble hearing your intros / you speaking when there are other sounds in the video. could you please work to make your audio mixing better, making sounds other than you speaking much quieter so i can still hear you :)
Agreed, the background and ambiant sounds are at a bit too high of a level. I have Dolby sound on my device so I can do a bit of minor mixing but still couldn't get it to a comfortable level so had to just lower it almost to nothing and use captions instead. 🤷🏼♀️
Ayyy welcome back big dog
THX so much. It Immers me even deeper in the Game with such a great and Atmospheric Lore Story. Also would recommend Hbo series Chernobyl if you dont want to leave the Zone after Gaming
Never played the other games. But i'm really excited to start STALKER 2.
Thanks for the explanation of all the lore.
Amazing work.
Thanks mate.
The highly plausible theory is that C-con didn't had that much altruistic intentions- the Monolith did not build their equipment, or at least not most of it, so there is a big theory that C-Con already stocked on the experimental weaponary Monolith used after conversion to be under their orders.
It was either a main plan or a "Plan B" if the first idea of touching the Noosphere wouldn't work, at least in my opinion.
Ridding humanity off individuality, no matter how much problems said individuality causes, is not a solution, or at least not one that allows further positive progress- ridding a species off individuality will halt it's development as ideas and changes come from there being many creative people rather than one
Quality content. I was just reading about Escape From Prypiat v4.0 that released barely 10 days ago, and was thinking of trying it. Your video definitely got me in the mood.
can't wait for Stalker 2.
My only hope is that all this Russia/Ukraine crap is over soon, and the devs can go back to focusing on it.
Same, brother.
Devs are in the Czech Republic save for a few who stayed in Ukraine to fight. So at least development is still going.
@@MintyLime703 i’d say if any gave has a legit reason to delay it, its definitely this one for sure
Hey man, try GAMMA. I played EFP 3.0 a while back and it was decent, but am currently doing a GAMMA playthrough and i love it so much more. Def recommend giving both a go tho
EFP is great, but it honestly doesnt compare to GAMMA. EFP feels like a big mashup of mods, while Gamma feels like a carefully curated experience using mods.
Each has their own qualities though. If you just want to buy guns, armor etc, find tons of loot, get into tons of gunfights, and have an easier time progressing, EFP would be for you. If you want new guns to be more of a rewarding accomplishment, want to have to repair things to make them viable again, dont want to simply buy all your weapons etc but work to find them and repair them yourself, and have a longer lasting experience in which you work your way up the progression tree slowly but in a very rewarding way, GAMMA is for you.
In gamma when I built my first gun (aside from my starting weapons) I was ecstatic. When I got my first set of tools, I was ecstatic. When i killed that Military member and got the gas mask and weapon i had been looking for for so long. When I finally repaired my first piece of good armor etc. In EFP, none of this really mattered too much, because I could just grind money and buy it all.
Best video to watch before playing Gamma mod
Its actually crazy that canonically sterlok reached the chernobyl npp using an akm74u 💀
Hey man it's a great gun 😅
First sentence i knew this was going to be good. Got my sub
This deserves more then just 6k likes
Well dine sir. This was entertaining to watch. Thanks
Stalker is the game that made me curious about Ukraine in 2006. I had a friend who were so excited about a game that was going to come out were you supposedly Roamed Chernobyl and hunted radioactive monsters. Learning that Chernobyl were in Ukraine and getting a desire to visit - now I've been to Ukraine several times and have good friends there - but haven't played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. yet - maybe it's time?!
Edit: After watching this video I see how this game has to some degree been inspired by the movie Stalker (Сталкер).
Both, the game and the movie are inspired by the book, Roadside picnic.
The games take a lot from Tarkovsky's 1979 Stalker film (inspired itself by Roadside Picnic). The physical features of Strelok/The Marked One bears a lot of resemblance to Alexander Kaidanovsky who played the titular "Stalker" in the film.
It's a beautifully shot and contemplative film. Very slow by modern standards but definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of the games.
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None of them will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet.
I've waited since 2007 for this...one thing I love is I don't think they change anything just maybe the story and graphics, you'll see, I'm mean clear sky swamps cordon rookie village and I think the down helicopter at yantar are all in the new videos for 2 well as far as I can tell anyway, also you have a mixture of stalker and stalker anomaly
This one is a good starter. If anyone of you would like to delve further, I highly recommend Anomalous Dugout's version of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Timeline as he puts possibles and even more focus on the story itself
Priceless artifacts.
1000 Clean and fresh Rubbels good enough to get get you 3 sausages and a can of monster
could you maybe make a video on games similar to stalker or fan projects around it??
seeing some attention to the stalker community would be hugely appreciated
Sick video man! What happened to the tarkov content though? Miss your videos dude
We'll come back to Tarkov eventually.
Great video, looking forward to more!
Incredible video, the visuals are well done!
Awesome vid!!
Calls the video COMPLETE LORE AND STORY, yet doesnt do Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat. Ok then, Clear Sky video when?
Oh i remember playing it in late nights back in 2008 and taking sedatives after to calm down myself lol xDDD That raids in X-13.16,19 labs... I remember choosing a wish to become immortal at wishgranter and it turned me into statue lmao xDDD
There is no lab called x-13 its x-18
@@nonamewarzone whatever you say, friend ☺ my memory is not that good
@@antistream alright
Dude ...this has got me so stoked for stalker 2...fucking amazing video bro 10/10. Im gonna read the book now, this is fuckin brilliant, this should be a well thought put and expensive TV series
Great concept to make S.T.A.L.K.E.R video, I didn't exept it from you. Unfortunately as a stalker fan I could easly find a lot of mistakes and apposition you made. What is your source?
yeah i spot them too, maybe he read some of mods story (anomaly/gamma …) wich are not canon ?
@@lou399 Yeah I guees thats it. Unfortunatly these days it's hard to find someone that does not play anything else then this mods. There are some underestimated small mods that are also cool.
The term Stalker is based on the tattoo... not the occupation. Nobody was called a stalker until people started noticing the "marked ones".... then the term was adopted by zone explorers..... C-Consciousness creates 3 types of brainwashed troops to protect their secrets... The Zombie, The Monolithian soldier.... and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R, who while not lobotomized like a zombie, nor fully brainwashed like monolith,... was programed with a task... usually assassination's. This is first pointed out by Sidrovich's reaction in the intro to Shadow of Chernobyl. S.T.A.L.K.E.R's usually didnt survive their mission and the mark would be found after death. He knew we where an enemy agent, but didn't knew for who, and I'm assuming, decided to take a chance and watch us to try to figure out who had was responsible. You'll have to ask the C-consciousness what the acronym actually means, though I highly doubt the answer is in english.
3:22 little did they know that the term liquidators would be sadly fitting as sadly been exposed to that level of radiation would basically liquidate their insides, if they were lucky they wouldn’t live to see their body’s rotting before their eyes.
Nice review to check before going into stalker 2
Great vid knew nothing about this game now I'm interested 👍👍
The Zone is a strange place. Once you've been kitted properly and you know its rules there's peace to be found there. Even beauty.
Superbly put together though perhaps a warning that the content contains spoilers so that they can choose whether to watch or avoid content which eg does not confirm who Strelok is. After all, Lukash and General Voronin are in my opinion not named, yet figure in most of the. Commercial games and even some of the 'standalone mods'. The building images seem in my opinion similar to the Stalker 2 trailers, nevertheless, regardless your production is, I opine, brilliant. Thanks and Regards Joe
been playing this game for years, never really understood what was going on
9:00 How the hell did you make the sky look that damn good?
That's from Anomaly mod
Are you ever planning on making the videos you describe in the conclusion? You list quite a few things and also bring up CS and CoP.
I only saw my big brother play this.
7:17 the generators map is cut but they appear on the CNPP
