A Pleasant Day

"A Pleasant Day" is the third mission in Saints Row IV.
==Overview==
The mission begins with a 1950s styled title-card for "Leave it to the Saints". Playa eats pancakes and talks to Shaundi, picks up the daily newspaper and goes on a ride in a Gunslinger around a 1950s Steelport with the Sheriff. At Ginger's Dive he begins to notice distortion in the citizens, causing him to swear, that is bleeped and begins getting chased by them. After Playa kills the Sheriff, Zinyak reveals to Playa that he is in a simulation of Steelport, which he cannot escape. Zinyak then drops Playa into a new simulation, and warns them that should they try to escape the virtual simulation, Zinyak will destroy Earth.
==Gameplay==
This mission automatically starts upon completing The Saints Wing. It is not possible to exit this mission, only to restart it.

Once the mission begins, walk to the ladder and go to the kitchen, where a quick time event is triggered. Pressing Primary Attack button causes Playa to eat pancakes. Press Action button to drop a fork. Go outside and grab newspaper by pressing Primary Attack button once a QTE begins. Get in a red Gunslinger and drive to Ginger's Dive. It is not possible to drive fast or by another route, so one may simply press Move Forward button as the player arrives to the diner. Collect health refill pickup and enter the marker to participate in photo op. Walk inside to trigger a cutscene, after which gameplay is restored to normal.
Once in a car, drive to the park and fight three waves of cops until an RPG appears which needs to be picked up. Then start causing mayhem (until 100,000 is reached). A super sheriff appears, who must be killed too to finish the mission.
