In my opinion, if you are building for this specifically and using it for damage then yeah, it's not exactly worth using. If you're on a quality build anyway then it can be fun to use for its cool factor. However, if you make use of its crazy blocking stats, you can trade more efficiently, or just have a pseudo-greatshield (albeit a wooden greatshield) on-hand while also two-handing a UGS with massive damage.

There's also the fact that the old knight hammer has extremely high base damage, no scaling, pretty pathetic durability (that hinders its PvE viability), and, most importantly, it isn't an ultra greatsword. It's a niche weapon that specifically relies on its low stat requirements to be competitive. Even ignoring that the two weapon classes are distinct, comparing the OKH to a weapon that is so stat intensive that it borders on parody, and that gets its notability from a gimmick isn't exactly fair.

Personally, I'd compare the FUGS to the Greatsword or maybe the King's Ultra Greatsword instead of the Old Knight Hammer.
