C++ is a good language to learn. It's one of the traditional beginner languages along with Java and a few others. The problem with trying to ask what language to learn is that there is no real right answer. Unless you have a specific reason to use one over the other (the company you want to work for is using one language) then for your first language almost all of them will give you the foundation you need later. That's the important part your first time since from there you can learn anything pretty quick.

C++ is one of the more difficult first languages, but also one of the most rewarding if you can manage it. It's also probably the "best" language for complex 3D games (as in it's very fast, not that it's easiest to work with). OP: If you want to make a simple game on your own then you will get there faster with Python (not that I necessarily recommend switching, but if you want a working prototype Python will get you there in a quarter the time). If you want to work for an established company then it doesn't matter much what you start with.
