I think I know what the problem is. You can't hit all those targets on the end right? Play the main story a bit more.
Also, you don't have to hold R1, one press is enough.

Is something else suppose to unlock for the batmobile? I'm 80% through.
You should be able to charge, shoot them all until they all light up, use the rockets which should leave 1 which you can shoot with the gun.

Why are you needing to charge more than once? You only need the missile barrage move for the last set of targets. Every target leading up to it can be shot normally.
Do you have that insane 10 missile attack?
Try rolling back to a backup save? Press L1 on menu where you choose your save. Go back two backups maybe.

You're about a quarter through the main game. There's plenty of combat situations to come, and a lot more enemies types to struggle with in the main game alone. Do the militia checkpoint, gun runner and Azrael side missions if you want more basic combat challenges. There's also a never ending supply of random thugs to fight in the streets.
I'd wager there's at least as many fights as in Asylum or City's main storylines, and definitely bigger fights (especially on the hardest difficulty). There's a lot of Batmobile sequences, but there's no shortage of other types of gameplay.
What do you mean by gadgets feeling useless? Specifically in combat, or overall? Aside from the change to the explosive gel, it's the same as in past games, if not better.
I can get up to about 4 left.
I'm only charging once.
I think so? I'm not even familiar with that. I don't pay much attention to the batmobile's weapon upgrades.
True re the sonar ones. They suck on the whole and one almost bugget out for me 100%.
Re the puzzle:
You hook into the winch. You don't unhook it. Once hooked, aim around on the spot with right stick to look at the switches. Shoot the small batches.
When the big batches appear, start tapping square. You'll use multi-missiles to destroy the medium-sized batches. Your green bar should be filling up after every barrage because you are still plugged into the winch behind you. You never unhook from it once you begin the puzzle by going on the pad and hooking in.
Once the full-wall lights up, tap away at square and you should be able to get almost all of the wall switches. Shoot the last couple.
If you aren't hitting them all, go into the Batmobile weapon upgrade tree, make sure you've got the one which allows you to fire the maximum amount of missiles.

After the initial ones that come up one by one, there are only two batches of 4 and those can still be shot normally.
After that once they all light up, the missile barrage will take care of all of them except for one which you shoot (assuming it's fully upgraded).

I may have to upgrade to Windows 10 then. Ridiculous that it's reasonable for people to get excited about this game running at solid 30fps on SLI 970s, but here we are...

I like Arkham Knight but I pretty much agree with all of the above. I think I actually would have liked it better if the batmobile didnt have a tank mode and was just used primarily for transportation and limited puzzles and plot points. I didnt buy a Batman game to play a shooter.
Some missions were a bit too ambiguous. Even after taking out all the flying drones and having GCPD fly around, they only rarely found anything of real interest. 80% of it I had to find myself and it took forever.
The boss battles in general were very lacking. I dont want to take down TwoFace like a normal thug and I dont want to fight Deathstroke in a copy/paste from another different tank battle.
I thought it was a bit strange about the gadgets, too. I just didnt use them as much as in previous games.
I was mainly trying to hammer home that the guy shouldn't unhook from the power-winch. But yes, you're right.
You probably don't have it then, it's a pretty notable scene in the game where you do get it. Spoiling just in case; if you have a

Obviously it's always more or less dark, Batman doesn't normally operate in bright daylight. You said it's always just dark and rainy though, which isn't true. Besides the typical rainy night look there's also
the hellish wastelands look after the cloudburst goes off, then it changes again when Ivy clears the dispersed toxin and pollen are flying all over the city, and then it goes back to the typical darkness, but without the rain.
Why do you only use the winch after all the question marks light up? Use it before you start with the riddle and keep it connected all the way through. However, it should also suffice if you have only one charge, provided that you have the corresponding Batmobile weapon upgrades:

Sorry for the double post. Would a mod please delete this?
I started without hooking up to it because when I first did try staying hooked the charge goes away when you fire the cannon. So I assumed I had to fire the single question marks first then use the winch.
I've never see that kind before. I'll check my upgrades when I play again.
See above. That seems to be the only way to do it.
I have 3 charges.

Yeaaahhh. At least it came with my replacement GPU.
Are you sure you're doing it the right way? You have to use the machine gun, not the cannon. And you need to get the 'perfect' pop up 5 times in a row, not just 'critical'.
Finished the game. 
Question about Gotham's Finest and total completion.
. Anyone else?
Question about Gotham's Finest and total completion.
Before I activated Knightfall, I just took a gander at my mission wheel to make sure everything was done. It was and it did the whole "Countdown to Knightfall" then said it was activated. Gotham's Finest had a MW% column which I assume stands for Most Wanted. It was at 98% but clearly I had everything done, as I saw the full ending

Hm... no idea. VR missions maybe?
I wouldn't think it'd be counted under that but possibly. I haven't done the Scarecrow AR Missions yet. Three-starred all the others, though.

If you have any car armor upgrades left and enough points to spend, use those mid fight to refill health. And keep using the drone hack and missiles — the EMP is helpful, but you're already getting that if you shoot the highlighted tanks.
That hand-to-hand fight after that is a bit challenging as well
Upgrade your tank as much as possible if you haven't already, I like the upgrade that lets you
charge missiles, EMP etc even if you get hit.

The boss battles in this game are the worst ever made. Is Rocksteady insane? Those stupid
are so damn frustrating. What the fuck, who approved this?

I have to say i really dont like founders island. Just doesnt look like Gotham City to me. Playing there it feels im playing a superman game in metropolis.
Feel the same. It's way too bright like Time Square. The first and second islands are the best with Bleak feeling a bit more like Gotham.
None are a match for the comic feel of AC unfortunately.

I'm ready for more DLC. BRING IT!

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
You should take a closer look at the buildings.
Use the multi batarang. I didn't even think to use the batmobile since it seemed so slow at shooting.

Take note of the tanks
that are being hacked by Barbara. They're color coded, some will fight alongside you, others will explode if you shoot them creating an explosion / EMP AoE [temporarily] disabling all tanks surrounding it. Barbara explains this as the battle begins but everything is so hectic it's easy to miss her explanation. Also keep focus on the little choppers, they're easy to overlook but their damage adds up quickly.
It took me about 7 tries to get it done, didn't enjoy one second of it.

I felt this way for just about all the combat. Repetitive and frustrating.
No challenge maps really kill the replay value. Nothing to do with the game until the next DLC hits.
Just FYI guys, there's a really easy way to cheese this mission:
Just to the left of the entrance, there's an alleyway which you can fit the Batmobile into. It's covered by a wooden barrier so it's easy to miss. Go in there and only 1-2 enemies can come at you at a time. It's incredibly easy to pick them off one at a time, missiles can't hit you and you can occasionally pop out to blow up the hacked vehicles.

Yes, i thought so too. Would be nice if there was a setting to change the weather post main story, similar to Infamous: SS.

Is the second ending worth all the time and effort to 100% everything? No spoilers please.
I hadn't spoiled myself prior, and was setting myself up for disappointment, but I think it's a pretty good ending and a satisfying conclusion for the series.
I finished the last Riddler objective last night, having not engaged Knightfall and reached 100% completion.
Then my girlfriend got back from work and I had to turn it off.
Today when I get home late I will be booting the game up, initiating Knightfall, and watching the climax to the series.
Then I might start NG+.

Is the Batgirl DLC worth it? I love her design in Arkham Knight.
Big spoiler from the Riddler side quest
The boss battle at/near the end of the Riddler side quest is fantastic, and is a proper boss battle. It's the best boss battle in the game and
I didn't think it was a good boss fight at all, imo.
I was glad to see a more traditional one but even then I'd rank it below Grundy.
Welcome to the Season Pass family! Make sure to check the Flashpoint skin out, it's amazing.
I went to the side of the police station where there is a road above. It's still difficult but I think it helped a bit using walls to hide away from many drones

It was a challenging (on NG+), unique spin on a combat room, which puts it on the same level as most Origins bosses, above every Asylum boss, but below City's.
Here's hoping the villain DLC brings some good boss fights. I often see people mention Origins as having great ones, so that shouldn't be that hard to match, hopefully.
