Same happens in Debian Jessie. Only the following error message is found:

portal2.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter.

When executing through "sh ./portal2.sh" then the following error shows up:

"/portal2.sh: 16: ./portal2.sh: Syntax error: "elif" unexpected (expecting "then")"

Well, whoever wrote this script can not have tested it even once on linux:

Line endings are windows style.
GAMEEXE is not set for linux, only osx

Once these bugs are fixed I still get a "Failed to load launcher DLL" error.

Did you follow the instructions in the README and opt yourself in to the beta? You need to do this otherwise it won't work.

WWhyNotHugo 2014-02-27 github

What README? The game is installed normally via Steam.
portal2.sh needs to be saved with LF and line endings, not CR+LF.

There's also no README included:
find ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Portal\ 2/ -iname README

Even after fixed the line feeds, the script has other errors regarding mixing 64/32bit libs. After symlinking to 64bit ones, another error is given.

I'm on ArchLinux amd64.

It also confused me. My bet is that he is referring to the online one on github:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/portal2

Ddavidw-valve maintainer 2014-02-27 github

Yes, please refer here for instructions: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/portal2

You need to opt-in to the beta in Steam to play Portal2 on Linux right now.

WWhyNotHugo 2014-03-03 github

I belive it's extremely confusing because the game appear in the library and is installable right from Steam, but DOES NOT work as is; one needs to come across the github readme to get it to work. Is there any reason why the "(beta)" doesn't work, and we need to opt into "(beta) [beta]"?

Nothing extracted yet.
