Monster hunter is beautiful, I really wish they made a version of it with some story, but I can see that kind of game not really needing one for what it does.
You basically go hunter + gatherer on that game, you hunt and gather materials, go out and kill, rinse repeat til youre strong enough to do that with the bigger monsters, and thats basically it, the weapons and armor are great, the visuals are great as well. Its a grind fest, you just grind and grind away at hours farming and gathering mats til you acquire your weapons/armor. That being said, Ive generally put over 100s of hours in any of the monster hunter games that I have played, because I already know what it entitles and my body is ready for the grind...
