You're only 17? That's pretty young, there are us older gamers who have bene gaming since before the Nes was out. I've been gaming since 1984 and never regarded gaming as epic, but it's had it's moments, which are sadly falling by the way side with the constant rehashed FPS, sports and movie licences that get released all the time, the usual clone stuff to keep those who are scared of change and difference happy, who want to play the same thing time after time and call themselves 'hardcore'.
There are still gems that come out, like Oblivion and Fallout 3, both slow going, well made games that despite their glitches are excellent to play and last a good while with plenty to keep you coming back and aren't designed for the instant action, run and gun gamers who just want to breeze through the game and say they're the best when they really need to play games that aren't so shallow.
Dragon Age is looking to be impressive and there are older games like Viva Pinata, Kameo and even the unusual Onechanbara games to go for, though the Onechanbara gamesare very unusual and not exactly great, but oddly fun. You've just got to be willing to take risks, open the mind and try more things than you may have first considered.
Single player gaming is always where the true heart of gaming is, online gaming may be fine for those who prefer that, for those who love swearing and screaming without actually playing the game with any real skill, while those who do give their best to enjoy themselves while trying to ignore the gamers who can't do anything without trying to sound like they're 'mature' for being able to swear as much as they do.
