"I'm pissed so only run" killed me. That was great.

[@christophertimms9594]

That phrase should be said in tlou2 when shes out of pistil ammo

[@Sushie55]

18:22 Just so you know, if you go to settings, and select HUD, you can turn the “Range finder” settings for the bow and turn it on, or just make it so it’s just like the original bow’s aiming

[@SearNRivers]

Literally one of the first things I did in Bill's Town when I got the bow. x'D

[@thewisedaddy6460]

Pistol supremacy💪💪💪💪

[@epiccakesgaming]

The GOAT weapon 😤

[@Lazarou101]

Pistol Power 🎉

[@samalu6371]

​@@epiccakesgaming I agree

[@kayladelli7076]

Pistol power

[@TroyWishon]

Balls

[@cohenahrens-pb9ft]

Idk if you knew this but if you don’t want to eyeball arrows when your shooting you can change to the “classic” bow reticule. Hope this helps.

[@JewishDonutz]

This really shows how big this channel has gotten, this video was posted 30 minutes ago and it already has 35 likes and dozens of comments. Love that the channel is growing!

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thanks so much I’m hoping to keep it growing :)

[@footchiken]

Do I know you?

[@lorix1.14]

​@@footchikenno

[@footchiken]

@@lorix1.14 oh :(

[@kratosgow342]

Note that for the bow reticle there's an options to switch to classics that look like in the original the control itself still using Part II mechanic though

[@blackscreenman6117]

This is sacrilige. How could you beat tlou without daddy brick and mommy bottle? Another W upload though, keep it up! Don't worry to much about your editing, you are getting better with each video, and the script and challenges are more important :) keep it up!

[@epiccakesgaming]

Painful to not pickup a brick or bottle in this playthrough but don’t worry after beating the game I played encounters and used both!

[@GojkoStojanovicII]

This guy makes amazing content and clearly puts an immense amount of work into it,keep it up dude,you deserve at least 100k subs

[@epiccakesgaming]

You’re right I do put a lot of work into these videos but they’re fun to make so I’m glad you enjoy them! :)

[@KYNG_DARK]

25:07 Doc: “This is our future think about th- *AHHHHH* “

[@songoku9348]

The ‘9mm pistol’ is actually the Browning Hi Power in real life. In the original, the pistol was originally the colt defender which was also in Uncharted 2.

[@rhy45bianchi31]

I loved the colt Defender in the original game why in hell the changed It BC it's still in the files and i saw It in Henry hands It Just look cooler and slick

[@randomguyonutube-ow4yi]

The “9mm” pistol is really just a browning high power just like you said. It is a fictional shortened version tho

[@iam_xrw]

Bro's aim is impeccable

[@epiccakesgaming]

Lmao I wish but truly I just edited out a TON of missed shots 💀

[@advyaagrawal3763]

PLEASE READ THIS! Hi Epic Cakes Gaming I love your videos. Here's a challenge idea for TLOU 1: The Full-Lodout Challenge This means the only stuff you can use throughout the whole game is that which is present in a full lodout. For example: At any point of time, the max capacity of revolver is 18 bullets. So you can only use 18 revolver bullets throughout the whole game. Same rule applies to all guns and throwables. However, Joel's fist, Ellie's knife and bricks and bottles can be used in unlimited quantities.

[@GCB-2008]

24:12 I like the part where Joel has a heart attack after his schizophrenia imagined a clicker

[@hellaprice]

The banger uploads keep on coming, really love to see your channel grow as it deserves to!

[@epiccakesgaming]

Appreciate it. Gonna try to keep the videos coming!

[@ObiNay]

your mental fortitude is insane i could never do this

[@epiccakesgaming]

I definitely had to have a lot of patience for this challenge but you get numb to the constant dying at a certain point and just push through it lol

[@danielsahba]

U own this game man. Only beating it with a pistol is one of the hardest challenges. Keep the great work

[@alancano678]

“We found out what happens to Joel if he even thinks about cheating again in this challenge” That one was foul 😭

[@liamnichols6]

Your video was great! I think that Resident Evil would be a great fit for your style of content since they’re a little more challenge run friendly imo. I’m stoked to see what you come up with!

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thank you. My next video is actually a challenge run for Resident Evil 4 Remake so stay tuned for that one! :)

[@Adog00]

When Ellie pushed you😭😭

[@CodingToFreedom]

Dude your editing and humor are sooo good, I'll watch your other TLOU runs tonight

[@nagyrandolf4944]

You can kill the bloater in 1 shot when he jumps down in the center of the room and when he’s falling you shoot he’s leg while falling and dies

[@epiccakesgaming]

Good point I should’ve mentioned that one! I didn’t even attempt this with a pistol because I assumed it wouldn’t work since I usually do that strategy with a rifle, but could be worth trying.

[@lucasrodrigues-ew8ii]

This is your best video yet, the way you improved so fast with story telling this video is amazing

[@bunz_d]

Great editing and (as always) entertaining commentary! I can't remember if you've done this on your other videos, but the Summary section was a nice touch too

[@keenza73]

I always see like "only melee" videos but never one where you only use a weapon, very cool and interesting vid 👍

[@gh05tnoh24]

You should’ve kept the ammo you had been given by NPCs as well as pick up ammo for everything along the way. The drops in the game work based off of what you already have. So if you are out of pistol ammo you’re more likely to find pistol ammo than for a fully loaded shotgun. Wasting the ammo only makes the game have more options of stuff to give to you.

[@testuser3643]

The Last of Us is the only game that actually considers how you might be softlocked to where you cant kill and only run, so they spawn ammo for you so you can last a little longer.

[@JAY1892]

The narration, the dry humour and the sound effects made this upload super enjoyable. 👍

[@Cherriri]

The glass breaking is my favorite part too

[@keisuketakahasi4584]

i actually played it on the hardest difficulty.. twice.. only with stealth or melee since i was too worried i wouldnt make it through the end.. lol then at the fireflies hq i was using everything i had

[@diablejambe3460]

Only play it on grounded once. Tend to be more of a "careful/stealthy" player anyway so i did pretty much the same thing, just went full rambo mode at the end lol. Also, im a pretty average gamer so almost never play a game at anything above normal difficulty. But decided to play every difficulty of TLOU cuz its my fav game and yeah, it was hell for me lol.

[@abitlost4087]

Amazing vid! 21:25 apparently you can kill the bloater tho if you shoot his leg off before he jumps down!

[@MD-th4zv]

I love Bill, regardless of the difficulty, he was the greatest sidekick I had. That shotgun and that machete were Great!

[@somerandomguy2316]

9:04 jokes on you bucko, there aren’t any McDonald’s in downtown Pittsburgh anymore!

[@dingoactual1094]

Hey man I've been watching your videos all day today and was super excited to get home to this. The quality is awesome, keep it up!

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thanks so much. That’s awesome to hear that you’re enjoying my videos!

[@afibuffygirl]

We need more videos like this! If u r interested in doing other challenge videos that aren't tlou, some could be something like pistol only resident evil 2 remake or 3 remake. Pistol or maybe cross bow only days gone etc. W.e. u do I'm happy, I always enjoy videos like this.

[@Solar-496]

When you strike grabbed enemies, you usually use the butt of your pistol. So that's TECHNICALLY still only using your pistol.

[@krisandcelenaedits]

Can you finish last of us without being seen

[@Mrbannanatoes]

I’m not tryna be the kid from the beginning but statistically it’s not possible but hey it’s EpicCakesGaming

[@That-VR-Guy123]

It's PROBABLY not possible as many encounters occur when you are thrown into combat, and boss fights also throw you straight in. Think before you post

[@leoniek.9578]

I didnt even look at ur follower count and assumed u must have at least 10K until people in the comments were like ur channel needs to grow...And i totally agree xD You put so much time and effort in this, you deserve all 3180 of us and many more

[@MisterDBubbles]

You should also do LOU part 1 pacifist run like you did for part 2

[@epiccakesgaming]

It’s something I have considered. Only thing holding me back is that it has been done before (shoutout Dante Ravioli) but the only difference is he did it with glitches so maybe trying it glitchless is something I could revisit in the future.

[@ichelbati2919]

22:49 it’s high noon got me😂

[@mapatriciaaloran762]

When in 14:56 ellie pushed Joel and got hit😂😂

[@Splinkle]

14:12 I love how the bite sound plays when he gets hit.

[@sh-ogun]

Bro your vids are great. Do you think you’ll do other game challenges? Elden ring perhaps👀🤣

[@epiccakesgaming]

Definitely plan on doing more game challenges! I am terrible at Soulsborne games lol so probably not but maybe if I get more into them then that’s a possibility

[@ngenish]

I hope that shorty line was intentional, because bravo.

[@quickpawmaud]

There is a classic bow aiming in options as well as a rangefinder option like in Part 2.

[@YoshikageKira33]

“when i asked if the ice cream machine was working they hit me with a bus” pretty normal mcdonalds experience

[@Danz_twd]

Fun fact:you can see a dawn of the wolf poster on a bedroom in a house in bills town

[@Jake-gp1ik]

I also broke every window in that hallway 4:10 it's just too satisfying

[@TheShadowGang1]

“ Ellie totally stole from the store where would she learn that ”, “ *Oh yeah* ”

[@christopherkimber7679]

😂 That explanation of the difference between zombie and fungus outbreak was glorious. But for the sake of all who don’t care, we’ll still just call it a zombie outbreak. Lol. I’ve never watched your stuff before. I can dig it. You got a subscribe from me.

[@davvehallberg]

When you put the new bow reticle on a target a white dot will appear and show where the arrow will hit!! But you can change back to the old reticle in settings, HUD..

[@glossytaco]

style reminds me of Dante ravioli, great vid mate!

[@xanderbonet9978]

Just beat the game today and when I fought the bloater with David it died after one shot of the rifle as it fell down

[@TD-AcePilot]

Were you playing on ps3?

[@alicudechimario3896]

0:00 violence isnt the answer ✅ and the answer is... yes✅ no❌

[@atent_free99]

I came here from that short you made about killin the bloater with 1 shot and seeing the video,i think i'll sub cuz i like ur style

[@sevimselamet2580]

For anyone struggling on a normal run, the easiest way to deal eith the Pittsburgh stalkers is before starting the generator, go upstairs and deal with the four stalkers up there. Then go downstairs, place bombs at the exits to the generator room, start the generator. Wait for the bloater to enter the room, run around the lockers and exit the room and bilt towards the exit area. You might have to kill a few stalkers on the way. Soon, the bloater will come up. The most efficient way to kill it is to shoot it in the exit hallway, jump down the hole into one of the downstairs room, shoot it a couple more times. Run up the stairs in that room back upstairs to the exit hallway, and repeat until it dies. Then go find the keycard and boom, you're out.

[@masroorahmadbani1712]

The I'm waking up part killed me ☠️. Great content as always. Keep up the good work.

[@HazbinCC]

Bills lucky nail bomb😂

[@Sirrako]

Well you my friend, have earned a new subscriber. Also, amazing content. Loving your videos. Keep up the amazing work and grind and you'll blow up 💜

[@toilet7088]

Bro, the "um actually" guy at the beginning of the video called the Cordyceps fungus a VIRUS. Cordyceps IS A FUNGUS. I am angry.😊

[@amry_the_noob9846]

Seeing the 9mm like that feels good and cursed, I'm so used to the smol pistol

[@rhy45bianchi31]

Fun fact in the original game the 9mm pistol was a Colt Defender a variation of M1911 for self defense and in the remake they changed It to a Browning High Power still both of these pistols don't make sanse BC both guns are Chambered in 45 ACP Also another fun fact in the remake the colt Defender Is still in the files but got cut kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKTFeZ5pZsxogKcsi=JAbXG1dJ-wCNuq6D this video has modded version of the remake and It has weapons such as - Colt defender (the old 9mm) - another model of the Browning High Power - the hunting rifle that Dina uses in the last of us 2 - a shorter shoothgun - a Bolt action rifle that i can't reconize - Tommy rifle from the second game Honestly all these weapons were cut or were left overs from tlou2 it's soo sad seing my colt Defender gone 😭

[@pookeeyyy]

damn your making great content man. Keep it up!

[@awfulmuffin]

nice run and the ammo replenishment is hilarious. also prob could have shot a few runners in the foot and they would have died eventually

[@enthusiasticallydry]

oh ok so i found this channel just now so why are you not more popular

[@tokio.hotel_edits]

My best flex is that i NEVER got the bloader in the hotel

“Violence is never the answer, violence is the question, and the answer is yes”-Sun Tzu

[@jamsarenice8670]

Pretty much how I beat the game when I first played it, was the only gun I ever had ammo for.

[@sleepybim]

When Joel falls off onto the rebar, you don’t have to shoot them. If you place a bomb next to the door the enemies enter through, they’ll explode when they walk in

[@epiccakesgaming]

Didn’t think of this before but good strategy. Unfortunately doesn’t work for the rules of this playthrough since I can’t use equipment, but that’d be super useful for a no guns run.

[@OgSuda]

I had to subscribe bro, how do you only have 4k subs? This is some quality content right here lol.

[@theactivewave6689]

and quite frankly (thats bill ) that was great

[@utterffs472]

Im suprised.. That this legend only has 4k subs!!

[@drksmke7462]

22:19😂😂GOLD

[@therealmr.fruitrollup726]

The legend returns!

[@sussyslurp]

To be fair ophiocordyceps unilateralis is classified as a ""Zombie-ant fungus""

[@sussyslurp]

So unless romero never existed in TLOU theres no reason someone couldn't call them zombies.

[@yt_yardbirdusmc9725]

Contrary to popular belief violence actually solves a lot.

[@EXPLODINGSALT]

14:08 video evidence of me running from my little brother

[@F.O.X_NEWS]

14:08 every sound effect in the world combined be like

[@RhodesMusicYorkshire]

i’m sure someone already said this but you can change the bow to the arc from the OG game in the reticle settings!

[@ProGamer-tnt]

Bro had a half used shiv on 11:56

[@epiccakesgaming]

Good eye. There are two training manuals that increase the durability of your shivs but if you have a shiv already crafted it won’t increase the durability of that shiv, hence why it looks like I used one. So if you look at 6:45 I don’t have a shiv, but right after that I picked up the first shiv manual in the bar of Bill’s Town and THEN crafted a shiv (hence why it’s full durability after that). If you look again at 10:20 I have a full shiv on me, but right after that in the hotel lobby it’s not full (since I picked up the shiv manual in the hotel lobby). I should’ve just ignored those manuals but picking those up is why the shiv isn’t full durability.

[@ProGamer-tnt]

I didnt use a lot of shivs so i didnt notice that

[@h2otoonz23]

The generator in Pittsburgh also attracts the stalkers in the Remastered version too

[@sevimselamet2580]

I learnt that the hard way

[@iccyy_21]

14:55 the way ellie pushed joel💀

[@jackwhiten506]

You should’ve shot the bloater in the leg when he drops it one shots 😂

[@epiccakesgaming]

This is a good strategy, but Part I seems to have patched this and I couldn’t get it to work with the pistol. Still works great with a rifle in the PS3/PS4 versions though! kzbin.infoU_gDeRMnF1s?feature=share

[@billieshearstone2963]

Your videos are great! I hope your channel keeps growing

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thank you I appreciate it!

''Violence is never the answer, it's the question''

[@thegoodmayo]

anyone else notice that James's character model resembles Troy Baker much more in the remake? cool detail, if that's purposeful

[@GenderlessPancakes]

If you wanted to redo the challenge or something idk uhhh you can kill the blister in the room with David when it jumps from the ceiling before it jumps to the ground, shoot it in the leg and it instantly dies. Idk if it works with pistol thi

[@loganigaming3112]

Why tf foes his gameplay look so good

[@Willow_6996]

I think there should be a thing to turn off certain loot for people who want to try things like this but haven’t played much so they don’t need to be as careful

[@verminlordsoulberry8823]

i just wanna say that if your playing the older versions of the game AKA THE ONES WITHOUT THE WORD "Part 1" you can skip the entire building with the clicker introductions, and bills traps area with no kills needed. There is another part you can skip by doing a glitch that kills everything including elly but forgot where that was.

[@Goofymoofypoofyboy]

You do know that if you aim and crouch you can go at the perfect speed so you don’t have to worry about going to quick around the clickers

[@Plumssugarjones]

Awesome vid ❤❤ love your last of us challenges:))

[@Pumpkin_Plays_Shorts]

Do part 2 with only pistol, I would love to see the rat king fight with only pistol

[@Lizbinnington]

I’m early!!! Yay! I love your videos

[@kodeypatterson8973]

I really like the content, but I would really prefer it in 4K resolution instead of the sub-1080p that we are getting.

[@wisekong6371]

0:09 the cordyceps isn't a virus

[@kookiemonster9709]

Btw the bloater in the david bit can be killed in one foot shot, the foot is a bloaters general weak spot

[@eddielopez3685]

I loved this vid and I would love to see an re7 knife only run on madhouse. And for the nails in bills nail bomb ill say he has exactly 29.3 nails in there. 🤔

[@TheMETALICA40]

"Violence is never the answer."hmmm thats debatable

[@interrogationfiles]

finally found someone doing a great video like dante ravioli keep it up brother you got a subscriber
