Actually my choice lies in none of the above.
Why? Because this whole heat mechanic they put into AC is actually a good one, but implemented incorrectly. They made it become almost the centerpiece of the whole design in NX, and even though it's less apparent in LR, it can still be a bother sometimes. Heat can become a balancing factor, if done right. So far, it hasn't been.
However, I wouldn't like to let FROM have their way with the series too, although that is what will most likely happen since they're the ones actually creating it.
I hope that they listen to the fans soon, otherwise they may be left with a crumbling franchise. What would make it all the more painful if that happens is that it has a lot of potential to be something great.
On the other hand, what will happen to AC4 will affect me, since I would be shelling out a lot of money to play the game, LOL. I'd be very very disappointed if it turns out to be garbage.
So there... keep some of the designing intricacies, but not all. Too much complexity makes games unfun.
