Game is gonna be great.
In general, development for this sounds pretty standard for AAA games. I think it's a mix of CDPR hasn't had a project as big as this, and the expectations of what being part of this project would entail.
There's a lot of good will for CDPR regarding quality of their games. Maybe some of the people hired to work on this game thought this was a different type of studio vs. Rockstar, Ubisoft, ect.
