Pretty sure Monster Hunter Stories has not been confirmed for worldwide release yet, even if it has, it most likely won't be out for a long time so no reason to hesitate on buying MHGen. You can check out the Stories discussion page on the wiki here and ask questions there if you wanna know more. The combat plays out more like a turn based rpg compared to your usual hunting games (with a rock-paper-scissors mechanic iirc) where you combine your own character's attacks along with your tamed monster. The game has a much more open world feel to it along with what seems to be a larger focus on story (evident in the title).
