Futalognkosaurus dukei is HUGE, possibly the biggest creature to have walked on this planet
here's some info about it.
===============================
...the Patagonian dinosaur appeared to represent a previously unknown species of Titanosaur because of its unique neck structure. They named it Futalognkosaurus dukei after the Mapuche Indian words for “giant” and “chief,” and for Duke Energy Argentina, which helped fund the excavation.
“This is one of the biggest in the world and one of the most complete of these giants that exist,” said Jorge Calvo, the director of the paleontology center of National University of Comahue, Argentina, and lead author of a study on the dinosaur in the Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
...the neck alone must have been 56 feet long, and by studying the vertebrae, they figured the tail measured 49 feet. The dinosaur reached more than 43 feet tall, and the excavated spinal column weighed about 9 tons when excavated.
Patagonia also was home to the other two largest dinosaur skeletons found — Argentinosaurus, at around 115 feet long, and Puertasaurus reuili, 115 feet to 131 feet long.
====================================
Sue, on the other hand is a T-Rex which is nowhere near as big as these massive veggie dinosaurs
here's some info about Sue...
====================================
When the whole skeleton was assembled, it was forty-one feet long from nose to tail, and twelve feet tall at the hips.
====================================
so Futalognkosaurus dukei is about 3 - 4 times longer and probably quite a bit higher than Sue. Despite this, i would rather meet Futalognkosaurus than Sue any day!
Hope this answers your question :)

From what I recently read, this A.M. Futy was about 15 feet long and, sue was what twice the size of "T" Rex, about 80 feet long.
