I know how you feel about wanting to make a big, awesome game. When I bought 3dGS I had the same idea in mind, but since I had no experience in anything, I could just make a small, 1 lvled game. I was pretty disappionted with that, but the peerson who introduced me to 3DGS told me that I was doing exactly what i was suppposed to be doing... starting out small, learning the basics and then once i know what i am good, join a team. Look at me now 2 years later, I have made models for many different people, and I recently joined a team as modeler/animator for a commericial game - and I am still only 14. Hope this post helps .
