It's the same company.
Blood Dragon also recycled plenty of Far Cry 3's assets.
Dude in the first pic kinda has a point. Everyone loves to complain about tacked on multiplayer and other "forced" gameplay elements. But diversity just for the sake of diversity is JUST as noticeable and awkward. I've said it before. It's the "Not Enough Black People" syndrome.
Most people call it 2 hours, but even then, it was part of the Orange Box, which was $50, had all of HL2, TF2, and it. So it's not like you paid $30 for Portal alone. (which I think may be pricy but worth it)
I'd rather have 2 hours of a great game than 40 hours of a terrible one. The original Portal was half that length and it was nearly perfect.
Half the comments on Kotaku (there are 6 as of this posting) are just as bad as you'd find on that shitty subreddit.
Note to self:
So you're saying it's not bonner time? :(
