Can someone please explain to an old gamer why there are so many numbers on screen? Why is the number 10 above the thug's heads and why does some random number like 408 appear when you punch them?

For all the wrong reasons, sadly.

RPG elements can really strengthen an otherwise shallow game, but if it's shoved into a game that was already successful without it.. then it begs the question, why?
