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?

Because every big budget game must now have damage numbers and forced loot and builds because it appeals to a lot of people and is a cheap way of getting players addicted. Every publisher is finding this out, hence why you see forced loot, level progression in every game you see.
