I prefer seeing small numbers. 2, 3, and the like.

It really bothers me when you start a jrpg and your basic attacks do 300 damage and you have 2000 hp. What do these numbers mean. Why are they so high

It's loving awesome in Paper Mario when you have ten HP and your attacks do 1, and getting an additional 1 on certain attacks can break the game wide open.

the PC in the monhun world demo was doing 40~70 damage with all these big hammer swings and when the rathalos grabs it and smashes it into a floor it let out a big golden 1000+ number and i decided to forgive capcom for their sins
