languages for a PC game?

I've been wondering, what languages are typically used in video games for the PC, and which you would say are the "best"?

All depends on how you want to make your game. With just your own code -that is, no engine- use Lua. Although, there are some pretty nice Lua engines out there. For 2D games, go with GameMaker studio and their C-based language. For a 3D project, learn either JavaScript or C# and couple it with Unity.

c#? JavaScript? I mean in Unity - yes. But most of the AAA games are written in C/C++. Every game engine is written in c++. So if you are to learn language that is used to produce games I'd recommend learning cpp, then Java/C#.
