Breath of the Wild is defitinly Game of the year and as everyone knows. It's a NEW Zelda that is now an open world video game. I SUCK at Open world games. I didn't like Far Cry 4, I couldn't get into Skyrim when I got it last Christmas(I'll try to get into it very soon tho). I stopped playing Fallout 4 because I barely understood the whole game, couldn't find ammo and finding the battery for the body armor machine thing made me take a break from the game.

I played Fallout 4 again and I'm still having trouble on getting ammo and finding stuff and learning stuff. It's all too much. When I do find ammo, its for guns that I dont have. Just now I got caught "stealing" items and everyone in town started shooting at me. The game did not tell me anything about stealing at all. Like I do stuff that I don't know about, you have to LEARN alot about open worlds before playing them. I like games where they're easy to understand and have fun. 

All my bad history with open worlds games gets me worried about Zelda. I love Zelda but this open world concept seems challenging. I'm afraid it'll be another Open world game I won't understand. I got Skyrim and Fallout 4 really cheap so I wasn't worried at all when I got them.  

But here I am giving Fallout 4 another shot and soon I'll give Skyrim a shot. I just can't get into open world games. It feels like I have to study and do tons of research for me to fully understand these games. Any help? or advice? 

Quick question: How do I get ammo on Fallout 4? People say traders, where's the traders? What do I have to trade? where do I get the stuff to trade in? How about having a restock box in every town or something. I been walking around ammo-less for sometime now. It's very frustrating. I think I'll look for a infinite ammo mod to solve this. 

Have you played the original Legend of Zelda? Windwaker? Do you like both? Then you should be good. The game is really just a mesh of those two games. It is non-linear in terms of gameplay, and open-world in the same sense Windwaker is (except with land and not just water/islands.) The combat system is pulled from the temporary items you would use in the stealth portion of Windwaker when you lost your sword.

One way in which BoTW is different from other open-world games is that it puts all of its bags into exploration, and much less into checklists.

The learning curve for the game is also very different from other open-world games. It is complex, but in an emergent sort of way (you don't have to know everything from the start.

Anyway, it is really hard to compare, but I'd say give it a try.

Honestly, the best advise I could give you to play Fallout without having any clue is mark a spot in your map that's far away and just try to reach that place. Stop by any place you met through the way, and always loot everything you can from your enemies, but always try reaching that specific point in mind. Everything else will start coming to you.

Once you reach that point, just aim for a new point. Rinse and repeat. You'll eventually have things figured out, and this way you don't really have to worry about much, but just the travel itself.

If you think being Open World is something in detriment of your joy with the game, better avoid it for now.

Look at some vids and if you don't feel confident just move to the next game that suites more your taste. There are so many games that will find a lot you would like.

It's difficult, but it lets you move at your own pace. I wish there was maybe a 30 minute demo or something available, as I'd wager you'd decide you want more but I don't feel confident enough to recommend dropping $60.

I'll just say that it's a hard game not to enjoy if you're patient and don't expect immediate success.

Zelda as a nintendo game is gameplay focused. The games you mentioned are open world with story focus. Skyrim gameplay controls and interactions are horrible, while it was only amazing on the story, settings and player choice and character creation.

Liking nintendo games means, you like the game part of the game, and not the story and setting like those other open world are.

And zelda gameplay is still the finest gameplay you can have. So don't worry, I would gamble that zelda will be the first open world game that you will like.

An example would be dark souls games also.

Good to see you admit you suck instead of ranting about how hard a game is.

There's definitely that feeling of being overwhelmed after you leave the Great Plateau. It's a lot of walking and exploring. I'm 10 hours in and I have yet to kill a boss or get in a dungeon.

Personally that took me 40 hours so it can be while before you do.

You find traders by exploring.  That's kind of the point of open world games.  They're open so you can explore the environment for yourself and play the way you like best. 

As for Fallout 4, you should have had like 100 rounds of 10mm ammo when you left the vault.  You get more by killing raiders and by looting chests, safes, furniture, anything like that.  There is also a Scavenger perk just for people who have trouble with ammo.  Pipe guns are all over the place and use a plentiful ammo type (.38).  Use those guns to kill easy stuff and save your good rounds for hard stuff.

Actually, one of your first quests should mark Diamond City on your map, which has several traders.  There is a trader directly below Concord, where you first find Preston.  Traders buy pretty much anything.  You can even sell the ammo you don't use to buy the ammo you want.  It's not a survival game at low settings, ammo is all over the place.
