Why do I suck?

I don't get it. I've pretty much got the basics of using Eclipse, I vaguely know how to use Wings3d, and I've successfully put a 3d model into Eclipse.
Yet I still feel like I'm missing something that I need to know before I actually start making a game.
What am I missing and why can't I do anything right?

Well I've read most of the tutorials, I've gotten a basic idea of how to use the engine and draw models, but I still feel like there's something I don't know. What am I missing?
And why do I suck?

You probably don't get what your doing because your trying to make an MMO without ANY game development background. You should try starting with a smaller game then working your way up.

Ok, what would you suggest making first? A new arcade hit? An RPG?

I dunno just make a simple text RPG or something. Or maybe make a simple 2d game of pong.

hmm seems my post did not post....
No do not make a hit arcade game, the sooner you realize your first game will suck the better off you are. Start small and dont expect too much.
Try game maker

Ok, what do I make with it though? An RPG? A test run of a concept? Pong?
And how do I use it?

Why do you ask so many questions?
Make whatever you want, just something simple. My first game was a modded version of the Catch the Ball game included in Game Maker. And if you read some tutorials you'll figure it out in no time.
