^yeah mh is really gear driven..not stat and levelling. stat and levelling is like skyrim or other rpgs where as your level increases so does things like attack damage and defense.. in monster hunter there is no such thing. you could be hr 150 using noob weapons and get owned as such because the only way to get more attack power is to make and wear better armors and weapons. also in the regards of gear a heavey emphasis on class and weapon dynamics is set. take for instance again a game like skyrim where you have single handed weapons, dual handed weapons, bows, and daggers. that's all there is to it. a mace an axe and a sword swing the same way and have the same mechanic. on the flipside in monster hunter a hammer and asword are NOTHING alike in attacks and mechanics and when using ranged classes like bowgun you have to switch to a different armor class in order to use it and strategies completely.
