I played Monster Hunter Tri (The original version of MH3U) and I know about that... But that's not a story, that's not even a loose narrative, that's a goal/objective. It's VERY easy to build SOME sort of basic plot surrounding that goal, but the developers just didn't and I've never understood why. Heck, if they wanted to give even a semblance of a narrative, I'd like to see other Monster Hunters actually go Monster Hunting besides yourself. That alone would give the game 1000x more life than it already has since we're told everyone goes Monster Hunting but unless you're playing with someone else, you'll never see them doing it.
