STALKER's - Zone of Alienation | The Full STALKER Lore So Far

[@WiseFish]

Hope you all enjoy the Stalker lore. Hope you all want to see some more later!

The Noosphere in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 feels a lot like Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious, but limited to a planetary scale. Jung's collective unconscious is about a shared layer of the unconscious mind that connects all humans through universal archetypes and inherited psychic structures. The Noosphere seems similar, acting as a network of human thoughts, emotions, and will. The key difference is that Jung's idea is more metaphorical and psychological, while the Noosphere in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has physical consequences, like anomalies and artifacts. It's like a sci-fi take on how human consciousness could shape reality itself. Plus, the Noosphere is tied specifically to Earth's biosphere, unlike Jung's universal concept. It's almost like the series asks, "What happens when we mess with something as vast and unknowable as collective thought?" Definitely a cool way to explore the link between humanity, nature, and the unknown.

As a huge Metro fan, I would 100% recommend Stalker 2.

STALKER is one of my most nostalgic games for me, specially how clear sky really make me see how scary nights should be

Hell yeah, love your lore videos man, you always cover my favorite games and do a fantastic job narrating and telling the story, thank you for your work bro

[@cloudsaysthings]

Thanks for the lore recap! I just started my first Clear Sky playthrough to celebrate the release of the new game (gonna wait til it's on sale to pick it up) and while I know the story enough to start the new game whenever, it's nice to have a recap.

[@phoenixbugler6108]

first, veteran lorist here , playing stalker gamma currently , love the lore dives

[@AngryAuzzie]

I’m so excited that you’re doing stalker lore now

[@inductivegrunt94]

I can imagine Wisefish in this game explaining everything here around a campfire as another stalker plays a guitar as a few others listen in to the story of The Zone. Honestly that sounds really cool and wholesome. Stalker is filled with so much rich lore, the history of The Zone, the factions who carved out their own territory, the mutants who thrive inside, and so much more. So having a lore video to celebrate the release of the new game is very welcome and I really hope there's more Stalker lore videos to come sometime in the future.

[@ZanyHyena]

Had to wait for a WiseFish vid before I dove into stalker 2 💜. I hope Forever Winter builds on their lore more because I’d love for you to cover that

[@collinfox5088]

Love your cyberpunk videos excited to discover stalker with you

Finally!!! I have been dreaming of a day when you start this series 🎉

[@clay9114]

Mr.WiseFish you have very good taste in games i must say. Our library is probably very similar

[@argp]

That's awesome, I'm glad I've found your channel! Please consider making Escape From Tarkov lore videos!

[@SeanBeag]

Love these catch ups. Have you considered Wolfenstein? There doesn't seem to be a proper lore history of the series on KZbin for people playing the newer games.

[@ralfsfilips4154]

Hey stalker. I need to sell your pda

[@yonsisac264]

@ralfsfilips4154 this is such a passive agressive statement....are you gonna rob me or kill me for it? Are you doing me a favor?

[@theavpman4834]

Great video! How are you liking stalker 2 so far?

[@ivanturanjanin3370]

Wow amazing video,can you do videos about stalker faction s particularly ward.

[@Irishterrorist4]

at the 8:30 minute mark you talk about a group of tourists that visit the zone and go missing, this is the exact plot to the movie Chernobyl diaries, how did you come by this information? and is that movie connected to stalker? because i looked it up and its not inspired by stalker. just curious i want to know if theres a link there

[@JAmonOfficial]

very good material

[@topcat59]

Honestly there was no way the military was going to succeed in keeping people out of the zone especially since they don’t have the necessary resources to do that and walling it off would take too much time.🐱

[@rdc4461]

I think they were just trying to do what they could because they have seen what the Zone has birthed and with all the other countries like NATO coming in trying to grab any artifacts, information and maybe even mutants l, eventually it could be disastrous for the whole world not to mention the rich or people pulling the strings wanting to get their hearts desire with the “Wish Granter” not knowing it actually expands the Zone

[@magicpyroninja]

The Chernobyl incident is part of the reason why I'm sure that Russia is not going to use nuclear. Deterrent is bad enough for everybody around when the nuclear power plant went up. How much land has been deemed unusable because of it and we're going to make more land unusable. Russia wants to turn its border into a nuclear wasteland like they won't be affected by that

[@maxstr]

So was the c-consciousness controlled by the scientists the entire time? Are the emissions still being done by the scientists as well?

[@valisbyte8461]

My god, turn down that FOV man, please! My brain is getting scorched just watching the vistas. Amazing collection of lore tho. Very well put together video.

Not surprising that the fledgling Ukrainian government was weak. Part of the reason the Soviet Union fell so hard is because of the rampant corruption which didn't stop after it fell plenty of corrupt. People found themselves in positions of power in newly independent countries. There's still quite a bit of corruption in the Ukrainian government, but I don't blame the people for that, just the government

[@slavplaysgames]

The game overall is amazing really insane graphical density is really next level and many epic and also unexpected moments

[@--shaman--]

There is some misinformation here, some of the things you say are non-canon. You seem to have largely based the video on the article about timeline that is featured on the English wiki of Stalker - the problem is that this article is flawed and contains outdated information. So some of the events you mentioned are actually never mentioned in the games. And in general there are various errors and misconceptions, such as the mention that the Wish Granter caused the Zone to expand, which lore-wise is just a legend that later on gets debunked. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. doesn't stand for "Scavengers, Trespassers...", this meaning is made-up and not official, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. isn't even a term for people who enter the Zone - that's just 'stalker', not written as an acronym. You should play the games first before making videos about their lore.
